Supposed to get lake effect snow Sunday and Monday. Suppose to get 2+ feet. I've given up trying to keep the roofing panels and tarps on the kennels, impossible every since I turned them to face east. The patio roof is leaking as well. On the bright side, I pulled a board off of the side of the house that I thought led to the basement (this house used to be part of an orchard and farm). Instead it was a separate room only accessible from the ouside, and now I don't have to worry about my fuzzies in the elements. I don't envy the calving, I don't even want a winter litter. Someday I wanna leave the midwestern snowbelt. My brother moved to Arizona this past July. Maybe I'll move to that farm my family has in Alabama.

Then the rain came , came, and came. I cooked beef hearts tongue and liver and brown rice so they would have extras in the cold. Checked the straw in The dog houses knowing I would have to change it all when the rain stopped. Worked on my website update. Got the cages ready cause no way can the dogs stay out tomorrows weather. trudged out with the dog food in the rain again . In my next life I want to be dry warm and have clean sweats on at least once a days Sally Embroiderybysally.org============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
