We Love Snow

There is no denying that a heavy snowfall brings extra work for everyone. Driveways to plow. Cars to unbury. School closings.

But, it also offers an excuse to stay inside and drink hot chocolate, a nice surface to sled on, and incredible photo opportunities, which I love.

There is another aspect to a wet and heavy snow that is appreciated around here. My poorly insulated studio roof is just the right environment for farming Atticus' favorite crop.

Ice bones.

Yep. We love snow.

    Atticus has the right idea and Penny agrees with him. She loves to play and smell and frolic!
    I am happy now that we have power back.

    Leslie, I AM a bit jealous...
    I want some snow

    remind me that I said that when I am complaining of our heavy spring snows that crush the flowers as they begin to peek out.

    but really, I want to go play in the snow

    Oh, Leslie, I wish I could have a bit cooler here. In Perth has been so hot last few days. Today is 40* and god bless the airconditioner.

    Dear Stiffie:

    Please be advised that Atticus followed me to the back door this morning, but refused to venture out. Scout, however, ran out to the fence. left a message, and returned. I think Atticus expected me to put on your slippers, stand in the snow, and sing to him — like you do every day.

    There are limits.

    Sincerel,

    Love, love, your beautiful photos. And...Atticus, be still my heart...it is lovely to see him so happy with his Ice Bones.
    As I type this I am laughing at Jack's comment...I can picture, lovely you, singing to Atticus. What is his favorite tune?

    Atticus looks so comfortable! He's not cold at all! Speaking of which...I'm writing this on February 2nd, which mean right about now you should be getting hit with the snow storm of the century! They predict 2 feet for Chicago. You must be getting blasted too!
