Carolyn - Please feel free to fly into central Illinois this morning-We are about to get more of the real stuff -snow- 8-10 inches with wind. When this happened last year I had all the dogs in for 19 days. You can have your choice of rotating the family groups out to potty 4-5 times a day and standing and watching so they don't step out over the 6 ft fence thru the drifts that have developed from snow blowing in the the fields and go into the fields or you can go to the farm and help my husband with the calving.- And if we are really lucky we will be able to get out of my lane and down the country roads to make to I 55 to go to the Triangle shows. ( did I mention I have the trophies) Every year at this time I threaten to move some place where the temp is always around 70- sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
