Snow storm 2011!

I have cabin fever. Over twenty inches of snow have fallen and my employer has shut down for the second day in a row. When I was younger these days of  leisure would be welcome respite from my frantic agenda. My husband and I could lounge just a bit longer in bed and enjoy a nice conversation over breakfast. I could play with my children and get lots of choirs done. Today I am laughing at myself because I feel like doing absolutely nothing. And the world would not stop if that is exactly what I did. Go figure!

Where did the sidewalk go?

The person who plowed my driveway piled all the snow at the end of my entry sidewalk. Hope no one needs to come visit it will take them all day to shovel an entry path. Oh yeah, I'll just open the garage door.

I am babysitting my daughter's dog while she basks in the Florida sun. He is a Jack Russel and a very good puppy, to my daughter's benefit. I have never been a pet lover. OK, shoot me now pet lovers of the world. It is not that I dislike animals but I prefer the company of humans. Besides it is usually I who gets the job of caretaker.However, animals do provide some entertainment.

Winston, the puppy's name, needed to go do business. He usually marks his territory in the middle of our duplex unit. The 20" snowfall caused a bit of a problem because the sidewalk ended in a mountain of snow. He paced and paced! Being too tiny to jump into the large snow drifts that lined the sidewalk he got frustrated and barked to come in; it is very cold outside. Then he did his circle routine and decided he needed to solve this problem or be uncomfortable the whole evening. I once again opened the door and watched him pace the sidewalk in disbelief. And then, being the resourceful puppy that he is, Winston went behind the bushes that line the house and relieved himself. That was a fun bit of imagery on a snow bound day. Laughing out loud...am I bored or what!
