Groundhog Day

 Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring as he didn't see his shadow.  

I believe a certain Siberian Husky is not thrilled with this groundhog's prognosis, as you can tell.

After a sleepless night I think I'll curl up with her for a bit.  

Happy Friday!

Just a Quick Hello, Friends!

 The cold, snowy days did not last but I had to share a picture of my girl and boy statue snuggling each other in the depths of the snow.  I thought it was funny.  

The warm weather arrived along with a lot of rain.  The snow has now melted away into a memory.  The ground has been muddy, which has been frustrating for us with a dog that loves digging.  Oh, Brooke, what are we going to do with you?

Here we are on Sunday, watching the last playoff games crossing our fingers that the Ravens and Lions are the ones who make it to the Superbowl, but it's not looking good so far.  Oh well.  Is it really that important?  Not for me.  Is it really important that Taylor Swift is shown every time the Chiefs score?  My son keeps complaining about it.  This morning's church sermon was one I needed to hear, but I can say that most Sundays.  Then we treated ourselves to Wendy's for lunch.  We are all relaxing before beginning another week of work and school.  The last week in January.  Where does time go?  

Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead!  

Round 3

 

This January hasn't failed at making a certain Siberian Husky very happy, that's for sure.

Snow Dog Happy

 We got more snow Monday night into Tuesday afternoon.  It ended up being about 3 inches but it was more than enough to make this snow dog happy in her element.  It's amazing to see just how a Siberian Husky who was born and raised in Pennsylvania can just automatically fall right into what her breed was created for.  The excitement on her face as she just zoomed fast around the back yard like she would be in a sled pulling race.  It's so much fun to watch.  

And the kids are always excited to wake up finding out there is no school.  Snow day yesterday and a two hour delay today.  I was only outside long enough to snap some pictures of the play time and then headed to the front yard to shovel and clean off the vehicles.  I'm not the biggest fan of this fluffy white stuff but I'll deal with it.  I mean, I have no other choice.  

My bedroom was hot this morning when I woke up.  Snuggled under the blanket I thought of how grateful I am to have a home that provides heat and comfort when the outside elements are freezing.  I thanked God for this blessing.  Then I thought about the homeless and those who do have homes but no working heat.  I prayed for them.  

More snow expected Friday.
