Last night we traveled through snow and sleet .. twice.. I held on for dear life.. not because it was really that bad but because I am a really bad "rider".. I half hoped that this morning it would be deep snow that we could use to roll giant balls to stack into a snow Man.. no such luck.. the snow was only a few icy puddles of mud scattered around in the yard this morning.. Tonight is cold again but no snow flurries today.. Thanks for stopping by.. I welcome both comments and followers..Have a wonderful day!

I am so glad you stopped by my icy world today.. I have tried my very best to stay inside and warm.. that is never easy when you have lots of animals like we do.. the hog woke me up early oinking as loud as she could to say her water was frozen solid.. the chickens soon joined in to say she couldn't have liquid water without them.. I put on all the clothes I could find and went out to discover that the outside water was frozen solid.. I passed around some scratch feed and hoped they could wait for water.. I did take my stick and break the ice in all the buckets.. by the time I came back inside all the dogs were whining with legs crossed... so grabbing a cup of coffee... I headed right back out for a long walk around the place.. needless to say... none of the usual spots suited the dogs and I was nearly frozen before everyone had answered natures call.. just as I settled in with my second cup of coffee I was called out to go check on my Mom's dogs.. I decided the best thing for all concerned was to bring them home with me and do my best to keep them warm and safe while Mom does her best to feel better at my sister's house.. we had a few hours of bearable temperatures through the middle of the day.. but now as darkness creeps in so does the icy cold.. the dogs and I have just returned from another long walk.. for now everyone is cuddled up together on the couch in front of the heater.. Baby is running in her sleep and Clyde watches her as if he knows exactly what she chases.. I hope that where ever you are you are warm on this cold .. cold night.. Please feel free to leave me a comment as I welcome both comments and followers... Have a wonderful day!

Shutterday- Merry!

"When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by; When the air does laugh with our merry wit, And the green hill laughs with the noise of it. " ~ Lord Byron

The Wind is Singing a Cold.. Cold Song..

"All of us have to learn how to invent our lives, make them up, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. If we don't, our lives get made up for us by other people." ~ Ursula K. Le Guin

Up Too Early.. How Can Anything Run Hot at 19 Degrees..

"Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality of those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change." ~ Robert F Kennedy
