Way Too Fr---in' Much Snow

I haven't seen this much snow since I left good ole Newfy. We are basically buried. (Actually that's not really true since the snow is not even up to the bottom of the windows and that used to be a regular occurrence when I lived back home.) Still it feels like we are buried since I've lost a toboggan under the drifts of snow that I usually use for hauling hay to the animals. And there is still snow in the forecast. Two years ago when we did our house addition, we started on the first of April and there was no snow left. I don't think that is going to happen this year.  I'm even going to have to call a plow and see if I can get the driveways plowed again after this last dump of snow. And still there's snow in the forecast.

A quick trip out to the horse's pen this morning to bring her some apples and water for her breakfast, then up to the sheep's paddock to see if we had those lambs yet and Fanny is still hanging on, she is now three weeks over due. Still maybe she didn't take on the first go round with the ram. So maybe she will lamb soon. Hopefully not till Teapot gets back because I really don't want to be nursing her lambs or God Forbid I have to pull them... my hands just don't have the strength in them to pull lambs. Then it was up to the alpaca paddock to check on Dex. He's still lying around a lot and having problems with pooping. He's being very difficult about taking water... water would help, I know. BUt at least he's not keeled over on his side and he is eating.

Teapot gave me a nice long coat for Christmas... I do have to say that I love it. I wear it over my nightgown with my nice warm boots and I can do the morning chores without getting dressed... It is lovely to come in and put my feet up with a nice cup of tea and still be in my nighty... it is quite decadent actually. And like the Scotsman, don't ask me what I wear under my kilt... uhhh nighty! : )

Teapot has departed avec the camera once again so I am without a pic to post... so I'll give you another little taste of my life in the ancient past....

At a friend's graduation... about 24 yrs.

Gotta love those Newfy Forests.

Pops and me in the garden.

Hours of entertainment for Teapot.

My grandparents who would be turning in their graves if they knew they were going online and around the world.

My favorite dog and childhood pet.

The iceberg that almost killed me. More about that next time.

I'm off to do some work on my homework. Finally... oh yeah the PCSW newsletter is finally done.
