M&M Monday: Historic Snowstorm

You know what's funny? Nothing really changed for the girls with the electricity out for 5 days. Apart from getting their doggie massages by candle light instead of the blue glow of Ellen, everything else was normal. They were warm & had food & water.

Millie heads up the ramp.

Neighbor Dave comes to plow!

The girls LOVE the snow!

Maggie, especially just plops down . . .

Day of Rest: Millie

Millie snoozing.

This has become Millie's spot; by the window. She watches for trains, cars, deer, & other excitement. When she gets bored with that, she faces the other way to watch over the back porch--more deer & way more squirrels that scamper along the rail to taunt her. At night, sometimes she growls at her reflection. Hahahaha Back tomorrow with M&M Monday.

P.S. Happy Valentine's Day & much LOVE to friends & fam. :-) H.

More Snowiness

Sunrise this morning:

Icicles on the back porch.

Like shaving cream!

Yes, I have power again after 5 days! I'll do a post about it later. For now, here are a few photos I took the day after the big snow.

Historic Blizzard

The electricity has gone out, so I'm operating on battery power. I don't know how long it will be out, & I need to save my battery for work on Monday. So, if I don't post anything for a few days, that's why. Here's the view out of my living room window:

View off front porch:

Back porch view with wood shed:

I've made quite the dent in wood

I've no water & I'll have to be more diligent about keeping the wood stove stoked thru the night. I've put some proper porridge on top of the wood stove to cook, and another pot for tea. I'm feeling rather pioneerish. Should I break out some darning? I'll be like Abe Lincoln reading by candle light. *sigh* Stay warm & toasty everyone. I'll be back when I am. :-) H.

Back in the wilderness for the blizzard!

Now with 100% fewer cigars!

The above picture comes from one of my favourite sites, Friends of Irony. I thought it was an appropriate way to tell you about the bit of excitement at our Nashville seminar. I got an email from my friend, NYC Slicker Doug O'Brien, who was our hypnotherapist that night. He said, "There was some famous C & W singer at the smoking seminar last night. The registration helpers were all excited. Do you know who it was?" I called our radio guy there who said very dryly, "The fact that he called her a C & W singer tells you everything." That got a *snort* out of John Morgan. Anyway, it was Jo Dee Messina! How cool is that?! For those who are now saying, "Who?" (You know who you are, Mum) Click here.

I'm listening to her song, That's God, right now. The snow has started for the 8 feet that we're we're supposed to be getting. Kidding. Only 3 feet, I think. I'm cozy in my office with M&M snoozing in their beds. They are snoring in tandem. :-) Life is good!

If you take the time to look around, you'll see it everywhere
It's right here around us, even when we're not aware.
It doesn't have to be a miracle
It might just be the little things
And even those who say they don't believe
They may not know it, but every day they see
That's God.

Stay warm & toasty. :-)

M&M Monday

I was sitting on the sofa, and Maggie looked so cute asleep on her bed--notice she's resting on my slipper. So I grabbed the camera, but she's gotten to know the sound the camera makes when I turn it on. She opens her eyes:

And then! She squeezes them shut again!

SO CUTE!

'member M&M's deer watching? They've gotten much more adventurous in the front yard. This used to be a familiar sight with Barkley & Remi . . .

M&M scoping out the scene.

Come on, girls! Time to go back inside . . .

You can't be in a hurry with these two!

Until. They see me rolling the suitcase into the kitchen & packing up the car. Maggie followed me out to the back porch all excited. Yes, we're going to your other home.

Yay! We're going to see Gareth & Lena!

A couple shots out the window on the way to Mystic Pet.

I called on Sat. to check on the girls & Lena said they had run of the groom room, and 2 more beds in the shop with her. We both talked about their love-of-Gareth. Yeah, sometimes I feel like I'm just the gal who takes care of them between Gareth visits. ;-) I've been with chiro-sis whose due date is Valentine's. So I'm staying with her until? So M&M will have extra Gareth time. I know they're not complaining! This will prolly be my last post for a coupla days--don't know how consistent I'll be this week. Back . . . when I am.
