Frozen Tundra

 

 

February 28, 2013

 

The midwest was blanketed with a beautiful snowfall this week.

I know  many people suffered worse than we did with power outages, etc. but we lucked out here at Rusty Nail Garden.

 

This old wicker chair is inviting to some staggered paw prints.

I think there was a cat walking through there previously, followed by a curious, sniffing, snorting, hunting dalmatian.

 

 

Ah, a dalmation that looks sorta like this one!  There she is hiding in the prairie grass ..........be very quiet.  She is ready to pounce!

The artistic creations of a few snow flakes on bushes is indescribable, delectable, goosebumpable, and shazamable.  Don't you agree?

Thanks for checking in today. 

UGLY MUDLY ......MUD

Illinois is well known for weather fluctuations.  Sunday we had a strong, cold wind but the ground was mushy, swampy, ishy, squishy, slippery.  I love adgetives.  Dennis and I were hauling a dog kennel and the trailer was sliding the 'wrong way' in the mud.  We had to wiggle it, scoot it, lift it and grunt to get it past the telephone pole.  He grunts much better than I do.

I got in the truck with mud up to my buttox and said,  "I'm calling tomorrow for a load of gravel."  It arrived at 8:00 a.m.  As you can see the telephone pole is still standing, the dog kennel is by the shed, the loyal truck waits on the sideline, and tonight I get to play with the tractor and spread gravel.  Life is good, great, fantastic and not muddy.
