This our newest addition. Someone dropped her off at the Feedlot and she couldn't compete or survive with the barn cats. She was in great danger from the dog out there cuz she likes dogs, so, Rod brought her home and said I could take her to the SPCA if I wanted to, which, I fully intended to do until she spent a few days with us. She is just so much fun, the older cats aren't really fond of her, she just has too much energy for them, but Baxter thinks she's fun. So, she has a new home with us. I just hope Rod doesn't find anything else out there that needs a home.

When it looks like THIS outside its SO nice to see beautiful flowers inside, thanks to Norma I have a little bit of summer color on my counter for awhile, it definitely brightens your day to see them and they're real!!

there are some good things about new snow over the old stuff. It is pristine white and quite beautiful and you can see the little bunny tracks all over the yard. But only if you're up early because before long the WIND is back with a vengance, then, you can't see anything!! On the bright side its not -30. the water was actually dripping of the roof while I was out there today.

On a brighter note Gypsy got her first pedicure today and she was a perfect little lady. Very interested in what was going on, but she stood very well and let Roger file away. I was quite proud of her. Now I'm gonna try to back this claim up with a picture, so, if ya see a picture with this post I was successful. If I fail I'll try again on Facebook, it can't be THAT difficult, right?? Thanks for your help Krista, love you

WINTER

I'm not sure how many of you have been taught that when you travel in the winter you always take snow pants, gloves touque and boots. I have always done that. I've NEVER needed it, but have always taken it just cuz thats what you're supposed to do. Well, tonight it paid off. We were coming home from TEXAS, it was 87 degrees there yesterday. We got a quarter of a mile away from home and got soldily STUCK up to our doors, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!! The snow had just drifted over SOLIDLY. So we walked. If I hadn't been prepared I would have have to walk that very long 1/4 of a mile in little shoes and a light jacket, oh ya and its still blowing and drifting and miserable. I was coming home from TEXAS. So here I sit very depressed and wondering how long it will take for AMA, thats another smart thing we did AMA membership, to get us unstuck tomorrow and how long it will take for the county to plow our road. Oh the joys of southern Alberta winter. Did I mention that it was 87 degrees in Texas yesterday?
