This has been a long week.  Very cold weather and now today, more snow.  Dang, we were just getting to see some grass peek through the last dumping of snow we got.  The furnace has been working overtime keeping the house warm.  Eeks!  We have frigid weather and another inch or two of snow predicted for this weekend.  Take note people, with this surge in cold weather stocks in long underwear companies should rocket.  Hurry up spring! 

     Meanwhile back at the pond, the waterfall is frozen but the fountains are running.  We need a few days above freezing to thaw the filters and the waterfall.  There’s no ice on the pond, due to the cattle trough heater, but leaves clogged the basket on top of the pump, thus the frozen filters.  It took me two hours to get the fountains flowing.  Ah, wet hands and frigid weather, what a lovely combination.

     Gavin and Patty are as sick of snow as we are.  Neither one wants to be outside long.  Our normally quiet dog barked when she saw some people outside today.  It seems that Patty has taken to complaining to the neighbors about the weather. 

     DH had a bad week.  We’re hoping next week will be a better one for him.  He’s going to skip his Avonex dose on Monday.  We’ll see how that goes.

     Here’s hoping for warmer days, melted snow, and DH feeling better.
