Snow...

We totaled out with 9 inches of snow on the ground. Baxter and I took out the Trash Can to the curb this morning and between going out there and coming back he jumped on me and knocked me down 4 times. I was covered in snow from head to foot by the time I got back into the house...LOL

When I got home from work yesterday, Baxter and I decided it was time to play in the winter wonderland that was provided for us. Was a nice break on my nerves from having to drive in it for the first half of this week. He sure ran all over the place kicking up the snow with his paws, sliding all across the yard. Hahaha a few times he lost his footing and when he tried to get started again all he did was run in one place.

I definitely love where I live. I love the Winter Season and all that comes along with it. Everyone around me here is groaning and moaning about the precipitation but not me !!!!

Monday when the Hospital told me I was going to have to go to Barnes Care West (which is about 20 miles away) I sorta freaked out because the roads were icy and I called Tony and he just took off work and drove me over there. One thing I can count on is Tony. He takes good care of me. Driving in that stuff to work was one thing but getting out on the interstate in all that traffic was another story...

I don't go back to work until next Tuesday, so I am going to enjoy my mini vacation this week.

I am beginning to think I really don't have any days off...hahahaha I am always catching up on something on those days, today it is the laundry.
Baxter is whining at the front window as the squirrels are scurrying all over the place collecting food for the winter. When the wind blows the leaves he whines really loud, I haven't quite figured out what that one means yet. Although at this time last year he was just a pup so it might be that this is something new and different for him.
As you can see from the picture, the yard needs raked again. This weekend will be a busy time outdoors for Tony and I even though we have a chance of snow flurries this Saturday. Personally I am looking forward to some snow. Guess that is the one thing I miss the most from when I lived in Chicago. I am anxious to see how Baxter reacts to the snow.
