Summing it Up...

Now, that I'm way on the wrong side of sixty, I feel that being true to self is important. "I yam, what I yam." Kindness and smiles are to be given away. Women are strong. Men are more vulnerable than we believe. Husbands may come and go...but one thing I know for sure is that I will NEVAH live without a corgi or coffee in my life if I can prevent it. Come piles of dog fur or hot water!

Icing...and I don't mean frosting!

Winter in Indiana, is always kind of a crap shoot. You never know what will happen. Yesterday we woke up to Iceland, as did many in our region. Power outages, snapping wires, and shearing tree limbs were happening left and right. Our downtown area, was a ghost town. It was eerie.

The corgi kids didn't like the icy crust in their back yard, and even their too long toe nails couldn't dig in. We stomped around with our big boots to crush and open up some areas for them to squat, without sliding. The cracking of tree limbs going down popped up all our heads. Jake brought a frozen, deflated basketball for me to kick. His herding instinct makes him want to work (or play) all the time, no matter what the circumstance is. Addie, just wanted to get the heck back into the house!


Today, it's 14 degrees colder, so everything wet yesterday is frozen hard, and crunchy today, really making the roads worse than before. Sheesh. Jim is wearing out the remote, while I visit many new blogs. Cabin fever is kicking in! God bless all the utility workers and highway folks that are out there today.

I'm with Addie -- I would NOT want to be out in that sort of slippery freezing weather! Stay as safe as you can please! While lovely, those ice storms are just so terrifying! I'll just tell you -- it was 74 here today...LOL...but it is going to go down to 18 degrees tonight!!! Brr! We aren't used to such temperatures!
