No, Mommy, Don't Make Me!

~~Too be fair to the pups, when there is four and a quarter inches of snow on the ground and it's topped by a half inch of ice, and you have 4 inch long legs, it's hard to get around. Even if you need to pee and poo. At least, that's what Max was saying as he clung to the garage wall today. Casey was a little bit more adventurous. He did go out a bit with his daddy.

~~Travel around here is very treacherous and yet there are people trying it. I'm hoping no one slides off the street and into our house here in the curve on Carrollton Street. As slick as it is, it's more than possible. Charlotte, Miss Helen's help for today, hasn't been able to come and John has walked and slid across the yard a few times to care for her.

~~Now I know, teachers are the world's biggest weather watchers, but this is the third frozen precipitation event already this winter and it's only January 10. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the season at all. We have the rest of January and all of February, and part of March to go when possible snow events have happened in our neck of the woods. Thank goodness, I'm retired. In fact, we have had snow in April before. I'm not looking forward to such an eventful winter. Just let me stay in doors and have power. That's all I want.

~~So, take care, walk carefully, and don't get too cold.

Snow! And It's Still Here

~~Okay. I know the usual comments. "You southerners don't know how to drive on snow." Heard it a thousand times. No, wait. It hasn't snowed a thousand times in my whole life. ; ) All I have to say is, we never have just snow. It always has a layer of ice with it. This time, even some of the northerners I know agree, my area of Georgia got whacked. A twenty-nine car pile-up that was covered on national news is proof. No one is saying we were alarmist this time.
~~I thought I'd share a few photos of the snow. Of course, the boys are in one. ; ) The front walk with its people and puppy tracks is here twice--a week apart. That's right, we still have snow on the ground. At least the temperatures have rebounded into the average range instead of the highs being below the average lows like it was for nearly two weeks. So sit back and enjoy a view from your warm computer.
