Does Blue have a safe shelter from the elements?

How does Penny feel about muddy feet? d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home!!

[left that other site]

Blue spent the winter in my brother’s garage, which normally is dry and warm all winter.

This year he did have some water in the basement which drained into the garage, but it wasn’t much, and Blue has been through much worse (The Florida Hurricane Season of 2005).

I’m sure she will be fit as a fiddle.

Penny, on the other hand, does not appreciate wet, muddy feet.

Be careful!

Always remembering our troops!
Giving them respect, honor and love!

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Hope y’all didn’t have another day of dust storms.

Pretty here but chilly. Hoping the freeze tonight doesn’t clobber the iris bud stems that came up today.

[The Mayor]

Evening Kathy! We have a reminder that spring is not here yet and winter is gonna rear it’s ugly head again. UGH!

[luvie]

Hey, there, radu!

No dust today. It was a very pretty day, maybe a bit breezy and cool, but we’re used to that. It was our anniversary today, so we went out to a favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch.

Then I did laundry and took a nap and here I am!

Hope your day went well and that it didn’t get cold yet. Did you get much rain last night?

I’m ready for winter to be over. We had a little snow today, but it has already melted.

Hopefully yours won’t last long.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy Anniversary, Mr & Mrs Luv W!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three.... radu bags the bronze!!

[radu]

[luvie]

Thanks! It’s been quite a journey so far.

[radu]

YAY! No dust! A pretty day and a cool one. A nice day to get out for lunch to celebrate your anniversary. Pretty hard to beat that for a great day.

It was a pretty day to look at through a window but it was a bit cool. A nasty north wind took the fun out of going outside but I had to. Grocery day.
They call for freezing temps and frost tonight. brrrrrr

We didn’t get much rain last night. The line of storms flew past quickly and they’d weakened a little by the time they reached us. West and north of us got hit harder than we did.

And now they call for another cold front to come through Fri. night and dump a little sleet and snow in the northern part of the state. We’ll just get rain here and maybe some more thunderstorms.

[radu]

And a good one apparently. :-)
