March--In Like a Lion, Out Like a Tiger
We've had a couple days of thawing temps, but yesterday was miserable. Severe winds and rain all day. Last night the rain turned to snow. The cat hates wind as much as the dog, so she stayed hidden most of the day. This morning when I took Rusty out, PuppyC came running full speed around the corner for us, apparently starving.
The large ditch is still half frozen, so all the melting snow is flowing across the driveway.There's a drainage pipe under the sidewalk that's working, but it can't seem to keep up right now. It doesn't bother me much, because the sound of gurgling water is so pleasant this time of year.

This morning. Happy to see fresh, clean snow to eat, it was getting a bit scarce. |

Where's my breakfast, lady! |
How sad. She must have been pacing around an empty bowl, hungry, while I lazed in bed. |

Animal Cam-Deer
I moved the camera down the driveway a bit, to the spot where there's a small watering hole that's thawing. So far this week we've seen a fox, Puppycat, a turkey, and these deer. I'm hoping a mama bear will bring her babies by here soon.

Spring Break--Party Time!
The weather is beautiful, wish you were here( but the sun is out today, yay!) |
Patiently listening to all my exciting stories |
Still listening, maybe, to all my blabbing |
Trying to give everyone equal attention |
This is just nuts. They're listening to a math video. |
$3.99 at the Goodwill. I think it's oak. |

Socialization Problem
I told him that some people still were concerned about him studying too much and maybe not having friends, being a homeschooler and all that stuff...was there any way he could prove to them? And though he's still never been to a basketball game, he seems to be doing more than fine.
And he'll be home tomorrow for a whole week! I'm baking cookies right now, and Ken's gone to stock up on all his favorite foods.

Day Before
Tuesday was beautiful. The driveway reappeared, and best of all--we saw water flowing in the creek and ditch. It was roaring loud enough to be heard from the front porch. Our shoes got muddy, the dog was muddy, the floors were covered in dirty prints, but it was marvelous. Then we woke up yesterday to heavy rain, then sleet, then more sleet, then snow,snow and snow. Walt's campus was shut down, as the Rochester area was supposed to get 15 to 20 inches. We had close to a foot, I think. One more week til Spring?

What To Do When It's Above 32
He can't stand anyone else getting attention |
This is not "A friend of Mom is a friend of mine". It's more like "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". |
The snow has been frozen so hard that you can virtually walk across the top without sinking, and it's actually pretty deep here. |
The winds Thursday blew all this across the sidewalk;it was clear the day before |
Crazy guy |
Open the windows to let fresh air in! |
Hardworking crazy guy |
Soaking up the sun while making sure that the water-hose is not going to be used to bathe him |
Doing what a cat does |
See the pale yellow spot? Rusty sniffed it, then went nuts running in circles tracking. Didn't have the heart to tell the dumb dog it was his own pee spot from this morning. |
Bananas and Kiwis For the Rescue
This lake looks pretty good to me now |
Creepy snow, I think I even heard thunder with it |
