Lots and Lots of Snow!

We have lots of snow and getting more next week! Here's Don clearing a path for the dog.

Total Randomness

I am a firm believer in blogs having a theme. "Our Adventures" is supposed to be about all the activities and events that happen in the lives of my husband and me. But sometimes that is difficult. Sometimes we don't do very much that justifies putting in a blog. But then sometimes, simple things like relishing the heat of the sun on my face or watching my dog's reaction to a deer feeding at the side of our yard or the fulfillment of gardening or completed housework all might just be worth an entry into the blog. Mundane, routine things we often take for granted.

So I decided to post some pictures I took while trying to figure out my camera. I'm having trouble adjusting the focus because I wear bifocals, and there's so much to the camera I don't understand. But I'll never get it right if I don't start "pointing and clicking." So here goes...

This is the deer Frodo spied. Don puts down corn for the squirrels, but the deer love it. This one is a bit blurry.

I don't know what these are? Do you?















The tag from this plant says it's a Carolyn Whorton "Caladium."

These easy wave petunias are just starting out. They're a deep purple, really, but the picture turned out kind of blue. Weird.

Like I'd know that without the tag!















A cool laminate floor is just the ticket after sunning on the deck!















Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Snow Day

Don got to stay home from work today. We've got about ten inches or so of white powdery snow on the ground. Frodo has the back yard to play in and do his business, but it looked like he really wanted out in the front yard. Somehow, the snow appeared to be deeper there. Don put him on his long leash, and Frodo commenced frolicking and hopping since the snow measured past his legs and part-way up his belly. Now there are snow trails through the yard, but Frodo had lots of fun, and we had fun watching him. Wish we would have captured it on camera.

Don removed the icicles from the house too. Especially the ones above the doggy door. Those could really hurt somebody, and we wouldn't want anything like that to happen to our happy-go-lucky doggy either.

Don took the car to the store this morning. The driveway wasn't visible for all the snow. We think he may have taken out some of our lights that line the driveway. I guess we won't be able to tell until the snow is melted. Oh, I told on him, didn't I? Oh well, delivery people can't seem to stay away from them either even when they are quite visible. We have to replace them a lot.

The snow is enjoyable today. I heard on the news that snow dumped upon many places even in the southern states. March - in like a lion and, hopefully, out like a lamb.
