January 6, 2016 A Cancelled Appointment & More Snow

Dinga enjoying her favorite toy.

Not only is the trail disappearing,
so is the sign!

Monday 1/4. We actually received 8" of snow yesterday, which was the deciding factor for me to cancel my colonoscopy for tomorrow.  Just got my head wrapped around going through with this and now I am going to have to wait til 2/26.  But at least now I can eat fruit again.  Only three days and I really missed it.

JB used the snow thrower to clear the paths and a larger swath by the vehicles, and again much to Dinga's delight.  I did some shoveling and the daily outdoor chores.  The girls are now giving us an egg every other day.  Larry and Elsie's girls aren't laying at all, but I think that has to do with the bobcat scare.

Our high for the day was 26, and this afternoon some of the first of the snow came roaring off the south side of the roof.  There is lots of ice under the snow on both sides, so it is going to be quite loud when it finally lets go.

Tuesday 1/5. It was 26 and we were up in the clouds this morning.  We had received another 3/4" of snow overnight.  Light snow began falling around noon and continued the rest of the day.  By 5:30 pm we had received another 3/4" and it was still coming down.  Our high for the day was 28.  JB is going to have to drive MAX down the road to groom a bit tomorrow.

JB did a little shoveling this morning, but we both spent most of the day on inside projects.  He was on the computer and I was sorting photos.  Am now up to 1989, and have several envelopes full to send to family members.

Wednesday 1/6. It is 30 this morning and we are still in the clouds.  Looks like the frigid temps are behind us for a while.

Thought for the day: The last day of the second Amendment will be the first day of the Americas' second revolution.
