Spring ....... Where Are You?

 

 I don't always believe the weather forecast, preferring to hope for the best. I had heard about a storm headed our way, but when I got up Saturday and peered out the window I was pleasantly surprised to see the sun shining. Some of the most bone chilling cold air has happened while the sun shines. With that in mind, I still dressed in warm clothes before I ventured out with the dogs. It was quite pleasant. Not warm, by any means, but not bad.

I went about my business and took the trash out. I walked around in the front gardens and saw some brave little Daffodils popping open and I bent to pull some weeds, thinking that Spring had arrived. After all, there are weeds and ..... I saw a nasty fly last weekend. Then the wind hit me full force and I could feel that promise of a storm. I went back inside, resigned to what was to come.

Toni Louise is truly in her element. She loves the snow. She runs in it, she eats it, she hides toys in it, then finds them. She is one happy dog!

She sees a bird! Come play with me, I promise not to bite!

It is still snowing as I write this. The wind is creating impressive drifts.

This is starting to slide off the overhang and will make a mountain for the dogs to navigate as they venture out to take care of business. I used the broom handle to poke holes in this and bring it down before the colder night air froze the snow into some dangerous ice. Have to keep my four legged babies safe.

Spring, where are you?
