We got just a bit of snow and the dogs loved it!
Then came the ice storm which prevented driving and even walking.
How's this for teeth?
Today I took the dogs for a walk on our land. There is a pond in the middle of the property that is hidden.
Mike found it and either jumped in, or fell in, I'm not sure. It was as he was trying to get out that we realized the pond was covered in ice and he had broke it and fell down in. Twice he broke through and struggled to get out. Of course it didn't faze him one bit, after he got out he just shook off and continued on his run.
This is the pond.
This is the pond after Mike, and yes, those are ice cubes from him breaking through the ice.
The rest of our walk was fairly uneventful. The golf course that surrounds my house was divided into lots and sold at auction last weekend. My daughter and son-in-law bought a 7 acre parcel right next to mine and that is where the pond is. Part of it is on the golf course, the other part is wooded and with lots of brush. Until the bank authorizes the auction sales nobody can do anything with the land they bought, so...I figure since the golf course is now closed, the dogs can enjoy the open spaces to run. They love it!
and it looks nice and sunny, but its cold!
Me bundled up.
Looking out this way is about 40 or so acres all nicely clear and mowed for the dogs to run on.. Now if I just had my sheep!
Later driving home with the dogs in the back seat all I could smell was swamp!
Jake and Fionn would have loved to join Mike on his little swimming party out there! I don't know how they do it! Jake says, "the colder the better, mom!"
