214 Days Til Summer

Our deck.  By the time the snow was done, the table was totally covered.
It's so cold that Chimmie didn't want to take his sweater off when he got back in the house from his outside time this morning.  Brrrrr!  There was an article I read a few days ago that said this winter is predicted to be another Snowmagaden.  It has something to do with all the weather extremes we've had (rain, dry, tornado, hurricane...) Can I just put on record that I HATE the snow!  Linda and Chimmie don't like it one bit either.  A few winters back when we were housebound for days was wonderful, but going outside to take care of business was out of the question.  I had to use a pee pad on the floor.  There is no way Chimmie can use a pad since you would think he is a German Shepard when he goes to the bathroom.  Linda will not only have to shovel the front steps, driveway and sidewalk; but she'll have to shovel a path on the deck, down all those stairs and a part of the grass for him to go on.  Ugh.  Just the idea of all that makes her back hurt.  This year she won't be shoveling out the house next door where the little old man and his wife live. Their two grown sons better come over and take care of it.  The only one in our house that's not affected by the snow is Chip Cat.   Linda said she has never even felt grass beneath her feet.  Once in awhile she will lay on the deck to sun, but she won't go down the stairs to the yard.
