Black N White Sunday

We made 87 trips to Lowe's today so I snapped some of these while driving back and forth. Remodeling isn't always that much fun!

Happy Sunday!!

People Are...

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.

Love them anyway. 
 

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway. 

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway. 

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway. 

The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.

Think big anyway. 

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. 

People really need help but may attack if you help them.

Help anyway. 

Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth.

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

Walking in our White Wonderland!

We  have a freakin' ton of snow!!  We have so much snow that we are attempting to show you in these photos...but it is difficult to tell just how deep it is.  We will get some more pictures of the back yard if we can tomorrow!! 

LadyBug decided that she wanted to venture out into the DEEP snow!!  Chloe tried to follow along, but lo and behold...got STUCK in the Christmas Lights that were hanging down in the snow...from all the wind we have been having.  We were glad that mama had put our warm Canada Pooch jackets on...as we had to wait while she went inside to get boots on to retrieve Chloe!!

Miss Chloe has decided that it is BEST to stay up on the porch where her feet do not get entangled in WIRES!!

As you can see....Miss LadyBug has decided to go BACK down the ramp and go see what mischief she can get herself into!!

Hope you are enjoying your weather!! 

Saturday Pet Blog Hop: The Snow Filled Edition

Can you EVEN believe that Mama let us go out in that FREEZING cold snow...completely nekkid????  What was she thinking???  Apparently she was NOT thinking.  Wonder how she'd feel if we made her go out without a coat in this weather...we already KNOW the answer to that!!

We totally forgave her though...she had a nice warm dinner for us when we came in...all homemade!!  And we are due for yet another five inches tomorrow!!

Global Warming?

Chloe here...OK...see that picture up there???

That is the kind of weather we are SUPPOSED to have here in Upstate NY in December.

We have had .9 (as in POINT NINE) inches of snow so far this year.

That is a RECORD.

It was a balmy 55 degrees here today!

Not that we like snow all THAT much, but we do have some super sweet CANADA POOCH winter wear that we would be stylin' in if it were the least bit cold!!

Well.

Hope we at least get a dusting so that we will have a White Christmas.  (you might want to check out the White Christmas Link...it has some COOL light displays!!)

We Got It!!

Snow!! Here we are checking it out before we were made to come back inside as it was FRIGID!! Can't believe we snuck out without our coats on!!

It's Here...The Snow has Arrived!

This was just a little test video...Obviously it is going to take a little bit of practice to get it right!

Miss Chloe did NOT want to look at me...because...I was a bad mama.  I made her wear her coat...it was sixteen degrees out!!

Dreaming...

See THESE pictures!!!  

Take a GOOD look!!!

I want to see these things in real life...

Instead...here is OUR Current Weather Forecast...

LadyBug's Lovin' This Weather!!

Right now it is FIFTY degrees!!! It is TEE Shirt Weather!!  WooHOO!!

We have a Winter Storm Warning in Effect ...

Due to dump eight inches or more of the wonderful white stuff...

Oh Happy Day...

In The Scheme of Things...

What's Another Foot??

I wandered around with my camera today...

Photographing some of the snow sculptures we had in the yard.

We didn't go anywhere today and the girlz could not get out the back door...too much snow!

Too deep for the little legs!!

Hopefully we will not get any more than the three inches or so that are predicted for tomorrow!!

The Never Ending Winter...

Here we are...this is the view from my front porch tonight.

Not exactly what I had in mind!!

I'd rather be looking at a beach...

At the very least...perhaps a Palm Tree!

Nope.

We are under yet another Winter Storm Warning...ten inches.

Sigh...

The Treacherous Trip to the Store

I admit...when I have a coupon for Michael's or JoAnn's (or A.C. Moore or Hobby Lobby!!) I hate to waste it.

So, I casually mention to Ben that I have to run to the grocery store to pick up a couple of things for dinner. Had I looked outside I might have reconsidered. I mean...I knew that it was snowing.

I did NOT know that it was really TREACHEROUS outside!!!

It was BAD. Really Bad.

I have never been a huge fan of driving in the snow. When I had to go to work every day and I worked 40 miles from home...well...I sure got used to it. But, I never liked it.

When I was in an accident the winter before last, it pretty much ended my driving in the winter. I have to admit...I'm a little scared.

One might actually say...TERRIFIED. Especially on days like today.

So, Ben decided that he would drive me to the grocery store...and I suggested we make a "quick" stop at JoAnn's so I could run in and use my coupon!! Great productive little shopping trip....they had a bunch of goodies on sale!

I didn't like the roads on the way there...but it calmed down a bit by the time we were headed home.

Tonight...we have spent several hours watching people getting pulled out of the ditches near our house. Even the NYS Thruway was closed to Tractor Trailer traffic...a very good idea when it is so bad out.

We lost count as to how many cars were off the road. We live out in the wide open country...so with the heavy snow and the fact that it was so windy....we have some MAJOR drifts out there!!!

Looking forward to staying IN tomorrow!!
