It is SO getting on my nerves now ;) Linda - I think enjoying the beauty of snow through pictures is definitely the way to go! Cotton Lady - thanks for the compliment on the pups. They are such a joy. And I think you may be right about sending more snow our way..... I'm hearing 5 inches. :( Lisa - I don't know if you remember, over the period of a year I lost 3 Hamburgs exactly as you described. Suddenly lethargic, and then just dead. I have no clue what happened. Very odd. I hope y'all are staying warm. This has been such a brutal winter!

I couldn't imagine having all that snow around here. Though we have had the most snow around here in years. I mean for around this parts it is pretty bad. Schools are closed and then opened, our highway department kinda stinks, they just ride around and don't plow the roads at all. But I have to say it is so beautiful to look at, my chickens won't come out either. One of my RSL died suddenly last week, not sure of what, no signs of sickness, but just lethargic and i brought her inside and she died quite fast. Not sure if it is from the cold, cause we have definitely had freezing temps this year to. But Bernie is such a sweetie to shovel that snow out for your chickens and pups. Stay warm and safe. Whoa!

I would be snowed in until spring up there! Such beautiful pictures, tho. Your puppies have grown into such beautiful furry friends. Batten down the hatches, it is coming again and I'm afraid the one we're getting Thursday may wind it's way to you, too. Sorry about that! Wow, Penny!! and I’m complaining about my mud roads!

It's pretty for a little while and then it probably starts to get on your nerves. Hang in there and stoke the fire. Oh my goodness!

Moving back up north Michigan to get out of this weather is just too funny! And sadly, it's true! I hope you don't lose electricity. Stay warm! Lisa – Ha!

We do NOT normally get this kind of snow around here..... Oz Girl - Please keep your weather in your own yard! I'm tired of it roaming over here ;-) Yes, they are saying between 6 - 12 inches. It's supposed to start this morning and go through tomorrow afternoon :( OH, and yes, Bernie finally did make it through the mountain of snow. And he'll get to do it again here pretty soon....... Jennifer - oh heavens no! He rigged up a plow blade on our Trail Wagon and he used that for the yard and driveway. But the plow is pretty small, so no way it could handle the mountain of snow at the end of the driveway. THAT part he did by hand! Mel - no snow blower here. But if we did have one? I am so NOT above cheating!!! Kat – I think this has been a kooky winter for all of us! We do NOT normally get this kind of snow around here…..

I've got to get our emergency woodpile dug out this morning! Our tubs are full too. I need to move backup north to Michigan to get out of tnhis weather I guess.
