Be Careful!

Friendly Reminder . . . 

Be Careful What you Wish For!

We were wishing the rain would stop!

Oh yes, it finally stopped and then --

SNOW!!

Really!

On Sunday, October 14, 2018,

we received 6-7 inches of snow!

Soooooo crazy!

And so wet and heavy - goodbye flowers and plants!

Poor trees in our neighborhood that had

barely started to turn color

were hammered!

All those leaves covered in heavy snow and ice 

led to lots of branches going down!

You could hear tree branches cracking!

Some areas looked like a war zone.

Mr. Tennis went out and knocked the heavy

snow off one of our favorite smallish trees.

It bounced right back up -- YAY for our little tree.

The sun came out and finally after a day or

two of dealing with slushy messes and

the snow melted away!

Praying it stays away until approximately

December 20 - the day before M's bday as

she always wants snow on her birthday.

Hello January!

Welcome to 2018!

Don't you just love a fresh, new year?

Almost as much as fresh new snow!!

We don't have any new snow here, but with the polar plunge

temps, we're keeping the snow we have!

I love our Scottish Terrier's attitude toward the snow . . . 

she tears across the yard as fast as she can and then

rolls around in the snow!  She especially enjoys rubbing beautiful large Scotty nose in it.

Pups -- so funny and sweet and yet so messy!

There are towels in various stages of wet near

every door!

Someday the floors will be clean again!

And because she is adorable and now 16, I'm adding an extra birthday photo!

Love the great big beautiful "16" balloons from Jodee! 

Those really made her day along with her favorite Scooters!  :)

Thank you sweet Jodee!

Back to school already and more cheering !

Goooooo Bolts!!!
