Awww SnowDay Monday

 

If you saw the national news the past two and a half days, then you probably know that the Kansas City area got hit with a blizzard!!!  That would be US!!!  Overland Park, Kansas, just outside of KC, MO, got 11.5 inches of glorious fluffy white crystallized SNOW!!!  The roads are still very bad and we even got an emergency alert for people to stay off the roads completely.

We had a very tough time Saturday night and early Sunday morning as our only route to our kingdom in the backyard is via the deck.  It was coated with the slickest of ice.  Timber more or less made it down the seven steps in two leaping bounds, but poor Misty slid/fell all the way down.  After that one event, she refused to go down again - until the snow fell.  She didn't get hurt, but it was really scary for Mom.  Mom and ice do not match up very well, so she doesn't go outside for fear of falling.  We don't want her to break any more bones.

But then . . . it snowed and it snowed and it snowed some more - all day and night Sunday.  Everything is shut down around here, banks, vets, doctors' offices, most stores.  And the grocery stores that ARE open are out of everything.  But we are perfectly happy - we have been in and out all day yesterday and today.  It is bitter cold, but we love it.  Here we are basking in the snow, yes, basking!!!  Mom said she will try to get more pics tomorrow, but they will all be shot from inside.  It is frigid out there, single digits and maybe negative ones tonight and for the next several days.  

Mom has managed to keep herself busy.  Look what she finished today.

She says this makes her think Spring and Sunshine and Warmth.  It is a jigsaw puzzle that almost looks 3-D.

OK, maybe we have had enough for now. Can we come in and have dinner?  Then let us back out again.

Woos - Misty and Timber
