The week
All is well with all of us, it was just an intense and full work week. After feeding us all, making sure we played and exercised, doing the work and sleeping … that was that for the week!
It was mostly Spring-like outside, except when it wasn’t…
This happened for about 20 minutes on Thursday.
Bear was not bothered. Auggie was out and about on his morning hunt and the snow shower did not bring him home so I guess he was not bothered either.
By yesterday (Friday) morning, things were a bit dire around the kitchen:
… almost empty granola jar…
… completely empty cracker jars! Even my backup pack of saltines was gone.
I enjoyed a relaxed day in the kitchen as it alternated between clouds, rain and sunshine.
Granola soon to fill the granola jar.
Cracker jars topped up.
I have nothing that I must do tomorrow, Sunday, and am looking forward to my day of rest.
The week.
Sunday afternoon
The snow is mostly gone with nearly Springlike temperatures of upper 40’s F. Today was cooler at 39F, but sunny and we played outside until late afternoon…
… and then it was nap time.
January: mixed bag
January started cold and snowy and ended cold and snowy, but in between … a mixed bag:
More snow
About as soon as I wrote about how nice the snow has been…it warmed up, the snow fell off the trees and brought a lot of branches, needles and sticks down with it.
It got very ugly.
And then it started snowing.
But it was still above freezing.
So, a heavy, wet snow.
Not much fun.
Auggie stayed in and used one of the chairs as his jungle gym.
Bear made his pillow nest and had a nap.
Eventually, we all needed some air so out we went.
Still snowing.
The snow was the consistency of mashed potatoes.
Not the best snow for throwing with the snow thrower. Fortunately, my neighbor came to my rescue for the end of the drive (plow pile up) and around my mailbox.
But the day after, it cooled down and the next day the snow was dry enough to clear with the thrower.
As soon as I got things cleaned up…
It snowed again.
