The wither is in the new AGAIN.

We ended up with 11 inches of the white stuff.
Not to bad for the REAL first day of Winter!

And the forcast for the next week is MORE SNOW!

It rained all night and at 4:00 AM it was 45deg
and 5 hours later this what it looked like!
16deg the wind chill is 6deg.

This is my first earring

Lastnight we got the firsat REAL snow storm of the year
and we got BLASTED

Our poor dogs have a hard time going outside

I am so glad we got a snow blower at the start of the year

Russ and I have been watching a show on television that is picking the next super hero.
I have never been so disappointed in my life at the ending!
I honestly believe that the host and founder of the show, Stan Lee, has the wrong idea of what the world needs today!

Although all three of the finalists were great people, what the world needs now is someone down to earth and ready to show the world not only a positive attitude but a human one.
Out of the three finalists I felt that either of the other two were that type of person.
A police officer that wants to be a super hero is a scary thought to me. Listening to him made me feel a little uneasy .
I’d love to sit down with Mr Lee and explain what a real superhero is in my eyes.

We came home from shopping yesterday and saw a huge hawk supervising our back yard .
There wasn’t one other bird in site… I wonder why !
His back was facing us but he did let Russ take a couple pictures before he flew away.
He was at least 20″ – 24″ tall.

The other day we bought a cool bird feeder that hangs in front of the window..
so we could watch the birds ….COOL….
But the
** Squirrels **
Would You Believe that they found a way up the side of the house to get to the feeder!
One little guy was hanging upside down from the top of the feeder to get to the food.
This made the feeder bang against the window which made the dogs go crazy !
