Early Spring

Has been an unusual week to start a new year. Laney sat and watched me dismantle the Christmas tree and said good bye to all the decorations. We also said good bye to the snow and cold air. We got an early taste of spring weather or just a tease of it. The sun which rarely shines in January has been out now for about four days. And, our north winds shifted and we actually had temperatures that were a few degrees shy of 60. The weather man said it will not last, but Laney and I sure took advantage of it and enjoyed being outside. I'm sure that this will go down as record breaking temperatures for January. Now if we could continue with this same weather, Laney and I would be extremely elated. But, as the saying goes all good things sometimes come to an end. So, we will enjoy and be grateful for the little tease and keep our minds focused on spring.

Starting A New Year

Laney and I are starting the New Year enjoying the indoors. The cold north winds blew in on New Years Day at 40mph, with wind chills of seven degrees. The first official snow fall of year left behind about an inch of snow with some icy roads. Laney does not seem to mind the snow as she runs through it and sticks her face in it. She returns to the back door quickly with icy paws and a snow mustache. She loves the snow as it is evident watching her play in it, but she also loves the warmth of the indoors. I myself prefer to stay indoors and watch her play from the window. As we face each day this year with a new adventure, we are marking off the days until spring and we are both looking forward to playing outside. I'll end this post with Laney by my side as we dream about our wonderful new adventures and sip hot cocoa.
