Cold and windy today, had to do 5 big jobs, ohhh my aching back! Started raining as I drove home, it's 38 degrees and supposed to be snow by tomorrow. 

 

So I think this calls for a couple toddy's, buttered rum and Tom and Jerry. Ummm. Going down, maybe too good.....no they're not both mine, Lew has the T & J, it's a little too sweet and creamy for my gut.

Mom and dad had several generations of Shih Tzu.  Theirs all had attitude and were not the best around small children.  They were never teased but always seemed to have an unpredictable temperament.

Peachy is our Lhasa Apso, she can get temperamental,  but Hercules and Molly are very quiet and unassuming. (until 2 am!) None of our pets are teased either, that's just mean.  Then Chester, well, if you sit down anywhere he'll be up on your lap and putting his head in your neck, begging for a good petting.

Richard, I have one of those cuppa's waiting for you.

Our view from Banks, Oregon

OW, that hurts my neck! 

So strange, we are over here on the coast in a storm free zone at the present 50 miles from here every one is getting hit with serious snow. We're not even getting any amount of rain.

I hear ya Jerry, we've had quite a cold snap but not much precip, thought I'd make it through another winter where my geranium would make it but, alas, not so lucky. 

It was a snowy drive in this morning. Not when I left but progressively more so as I drove to Astoria. Here's a pic I took on the top of the hill before the Column, it's my daughters house. It was an experience as I quickly learned how to ski- first this way then that way- all the way up the hill, trying to get momentum without taking out the cars on either side. Fun. Decided to go down the south side of the hill, skiing up is one thing but skiing down the hill would have been another experience altogether.

This is my view out the back door, behind the garden. I love having a fire out there during summer, in the fire pit. Beautiful sunsets.

This counts as exciting 'round these parts.

Surprise! That's where all the toys went!

My mum's dog would anxiously wander around with a treat looking for some suitable hiding place in the living room. I would wait until he had hidden it then quickly move the furniture to reveal it. The look of disgust he would give me was priceless as I said "Look what I found!"

Seems to be a male dog thing - our female never did it.

A drastic drop in sunspot activity has led to some breathtakingly beautiful auroras:

My pound puppy, K-LEE the K-9:

We adopted K-LEE from the shelter when she was 10 months old.

She will be 15 in April.

K-LEE has never barked at ANYBODY in her entire life.

She barked at the cat once, for walking a little too close to her favorite toy.

And she howled at the heifers, when they broke out of the barn one night and were dancing on the front lawn.

She is now 100% deaf.

Most definitely NOT 'guard dog' material.

In fact, because K-LEE is so quiet, it's like having a picture of a dog.

Ross, she's beautiful. I'm glad you posted a pic of her.

[CHecker]

I found this very interesting. Oops, I think it's gonna be real big, sorry, didn't mean it to be.
