We were lucky we only got a little over two inches of snow while the major portion of the storm hammered south and east of us.  A couple of places in NJ had 28 inches of snow.  I’m glad we don’t live there.

     It won’t take long for the snow we have to go away.  The forecast for the coming week claims rising temperature climbing to fifty degrees by next Monday.  Can you say yippee?  I sure can. 

     We did get wind and lots of it.  I swear we’ve had more wind this year than I can remember having over the last thirty plus years.  At least it’s cleaning the dead wood out of the trees, which is something I hadn’t done this fall.

     Neither Gavin nor Patty like the wind or the snow and are quick to be about their business outside.  My poor wussy pups.  They will be happy when things warm up later this week.

     The new heater for the pond is working well, we have very little ice, and that is only where our Pan fountain is running at a weak trickle.
