Monday Mood





It's been a very long winter. As I type this snow is piling up at unreasonable rates, quickly erasing any sign of the hours I have spent outside clearing it. It would not surprise me to find as much as a foot by tomorrow morning. I am returning to the computer after the first real thirty-six hour break I've taken in ages. My eyes needed it, but I'm running far behind.

A mixed bag of goodness:

A Saturday morning visitor.




Thanks to Jan and Homer for passing along these:





When I get out from under this mountain of snow and work deadlines I'll participate properly!


Finally, Sola reminds me that no matter how deep the snow, there is always room to celebrate.





Life with dogs is the only life for me.



I'll be headed out to shovel again until bedtime, so here's hoping that your Monday is a little less frigid.

  2. That is why I love dogs - they find joy in everything!
    Sorry you are having a long winter but Spring always comes.
    Snuggle under the duvet and look out again in a few weeks. xx

  3. I just found out that I love snow, but normally, I don't live in it. I'm glad Sola gave you a little joy to watch her frolic in the cold white stuff! Stay warm and the blossoms will come!
    Licks,

  4. Well, our winter Mondays are definitely less frigid, but we don't get to see deer in our backyard. Very cool. And I just love that first shot. So subtle.

  6. Wonderful photos! I don't envy you for shoveling, though. We've had less snow than normal out here this year, it's been kind of weird.

  10. There is always time to play in the snow. We believe that if it is going to be cold outside, there needs to be snow for us to romp in.

  13. If snow would just lay in places that don't need to be shoveled, it would be alot more fun!! We had a "skiff" of the white stuff this morning but no shoveling required. GREAT pictures-especially the paw prints!

    *Paychecks would also be alot more fun if we didn't have to work for them. :=)

  14. Personally, if I do say so myself, there could not ever possibly ever be too much snow for this gal! Most definitely!

    TTFN!

  15. Melody you can have all the stinkin' snow!!! It has been a long, cold, horrid winter in western Kentucky, if that helps any. The whippets look at me accusingly: "Fix this!"
    It *will* be over soon. It *WILL*.

    courage!
