Saturday, February 9th., 2019…... No
snow. Just a lot of rain last night. Our back lawn is a mushy swamp! The field behind it is different grass and is
a bit higher so out there is not as bad. Penny came by with Quincy and Lydia
let Rylee out while I took off to get breakfast/coffee/tea. My favorite stop is
always at Starbucks, where I always get chai tea for Lydia and sometimes coffee
for me. They are always so friendly and sometimes we talk about the upcoming
day. Jade asked about my plans for today. I told her not much planned and I mentioned
my blog. I gave her a card with the blog site on it. Maybe she’ll check it out
sometime.
Sis left Quincy for the day. She fed
her and left and Quince always gets up on our bed and vegges out for the
day. After their morning run, Rylee
leaves her alone and they both rest in separate rooms. As I said, I had no
plans. I did go out to the shop to start to take apart the broken recliner. But
I didn’t fire up any heat so I didn’t stay out there too long. By the time I
came in and settled in, Lydia had started dinner. Once we ate, I only had to
let monster puppy out once or twice and then it was time to go to bed. We let super pooper out for one last pee and
found that the snow was just starting up!
Sunday, February 10th., 2019…… I woke up around 12:30am and went to the
bathroom. Then it was butthead’s turn. The snow was only about an inch at that
time but it was coming down hard enough to scare Rylee. She didn’t even leave
the porch. We went back to bed and she woke me up about 3:30 so I knew she had
to go NOW. It had stopped snowing but there was probably 2” on the ground. She
managed to do both businesses and then I wiped her down and we went back to
bed. This morning the snow had totally stopped, but it left a nice white canvas
out there! I got showered and took the monkey butt out for her walk. She
totally now loves the snow! Plus, she’s found it tastes great! We saw tons of deer tracks and what I thought
were tracks from a dog that went right through our front yard! But I don’t
think Ollie was here this early. Next, I thought cougar but now think they were
too small and could be just coyote tracks. It was only one but, still – in our
front yard! We don’t want coyotes here! That’s why I bought my new pellet gun!
While I
was out on my walk, I took this pic of the front of the house.
We face
north so most of this snow will hang around even after the backyard melts. I
have a 2x6 out in front of the rv garage as a transition piece. There was 2-3”
of snow on it so we did get a bit more than the last snow. Last year we had one snowfall at 1”. This is
the second snowfall so far this year and the most we’ve seen (so far). After we got back in, Lydia made breakfast,
but stopped for a bit so we could call and wish Bill & Treasa a HAPPY 40th ANNIVERSARY! We talked for a bit and she told us she was
hanging around the house recovering from her recent knee surgery. They’ve had
their share of snow too (they live in Springboro, OH) but it’s just rainy there
now. They get more snow plus their temps get down into the single digits and
sometimes lower. Brrrr!
I spent
my day watching tv. Motocross was taped plus the Nascar season is getting
started. That kept me entertained. Of
course, Rylee wants out every ten minutes. When Lydia is sitting in her chair,
she can keep an eye on her and I also get up often to let her out. She’s made
yellow snow and ‘poopsickles’ several times just this afternoon!
Monday, February 11th., 2019…... No more snow. What we had on the
ground yesterday was gone by day’s end. We did get some high winds and a bit of
rain throughout the night. It was sprinkling when I took Rylee out for our walk
this morning. The winds were blowing and
it was enough to get my pant legs a bit too wet, so I changed. Lydia had labs
to do this morning so we headed off for that around 9:00am. Since we were out,
we decided to stop for breakfast. We chose Kevin’s and it was very good, as
always! After we got home, I went out to the shop and worked on dismantling the
old recliner. It was raining off and on and I decided to shut down and came
back in between showers. I was in for the afternoon. I changed out of my jeans
and put on my sweats and relaxed in my recliner and watched tv. But it turned out that Lydia didn’t get
anything out for dinner and we didn’t want leftovers tonight, and she was
hungry for Mexican food, so she decided that we should go out to Ixtapa’s. Yep
- I changed again and off we went. Dinner was good and we both ate a lighter
meal. Nothing else planned so we came back home and I let muttley out to pee. The
sprinkles continued through the evening but that was fine - we were done for
the day. We watched a couple more Guy’s
Grocery Games and before turning to our delayed tape of America’s Got Talent.
