Dog Baths and Dog Laundry

Today was doggie bath day and dog laundry day. Someone was pretty stinky! We went on a mile hike, then corraled Big Dog into the bathroom, he 'comes' along, but really doesn't like it. But oh, he smells so much better. Little dogs don't have much choice. You grab them and put them in the tub, and there isn't much they can do about it. All of their "pluffies" and blankets get washed to, which is about 3 loads of laundry, cause we cover up the furniture they lay on and the bed. It's almost done.

The temperature was around 60 degrees today. It's supposed to snow on Thursday. I say, "Let it snow!"

The horse carcass finally got picked up yesterday, she lay 1st in the heifer pen, then on the driveway for 4 days. Guess it was a good thing that it was cold. It's still hard for us to think about. She was a neat horse.

Swirling White Stuff

Today is the first day of snow here, in the exact middle of the country. It's swirling and the trees are swaying. So far, there is a light dusting on the fence and propane tank. The turkey, which I bought late, is in water in the sink defrosting. I am going back out to the studio today, it's getting a revamping and cleaning. I had to drag my big oak desk and in doing so the legs separated from the sides, so I am going to try to fix that. I like snow a lot, just don't like to travel very far in it. It's not supposed to amount to much, but I am ready for winter! Last year in December, we lost power for 4 days due to downed power lines from an ice storm, we made it just fine with the generator back-up in the RV and running to town for jugs of water to flush the toilets. Since then we bought another generator so next time we could run the water system pump, too. So we are ready - if it decides to be a powerless time this December. Let me know if it is snowing in your "neck of the woods". Leave a comment.
