I hear the garage door opening and the shovel going to work! More snow…Mamaw is great about making a path for me before she takes me out. I wanted to go outside the scooped area today, and the snow was up to my tummy…WITH MORE TO COME! They are talking about 4-6 inches. And poor Mamaw has a horrible sore throat. We can tell she isn’t feeling well—she isn’t talking. I suppose she will lie down and leave me to “rough it” with Poppy. Yep, she told Poppy that is what she is doing. She stayed in the bedroom for a couple of hours but I kept whining to get in so she got up. But not in time—the gate was spread across the hallway opening and it was going to fall on me! I was able to move just in the nick of time—but SCARY!

We went outside; she took the mailbox eye with us. Out the garage door we go and low and behold, where she had made a path this morning was already filled up with new snow. There were no yellow spots and I just love the snow when it is fresh like that! Well, I did my thing and we got the mail. Mamaw was into snow well above her shoe tops and her jeans pant legs were covered with snow up to about 8 inches. She decided we’d better come back in.

We can’t walk today—no way. It continues to snow so we have really no protection for our feet. It is also starting to blow the snow and we’d be “snow faced” before we knew it! We’ll veg out…watch TV, play, get her feeling better and nap.
