Spring Storm Part II - Evening Walk / I Get Wet

It continued to snow all day.  When we took our walk it was still windy and cold, but the sun was out.

"Enough wait, click, click.  Let's get this show on the road!"

Tibby strikes a pose.

"Is that a snow bunny I spy?"

"Is this my best side?  I can't decide."

"Where's the park?"

The geese multiplied!

Our park. 

Tibby checks out the path.

This is what happened when I went to rescue Tibby from the 'path'.
She started to break through the ice and got scared, so I rushed over to her.
'doh! I cracked the ice right away and fell in!
The water was deep.  It was over the tops of my boots.
I had a very squishy walk home.

"Wow you're really heavy."

I like Tibby's hair in the picture.

Heading home. 

The End.

In Like A Lion and Out Like A Lion


March isn't being very nice to us.  It snowed the first week of March and now we are in a Winter Storm Warning for more snow.  What happened to the lamb?!? 


Tibby and I went for a walk.  It was windy, cold and raining. 


See?  Windy.
Also, notice dirty feet.  Tibby was so interested in watching one of my neighbors take in her garbage can that she walked into a pot hole full of dirty water. 


Our park is flooded.

The water is very deep.  Yesterday it was starting to flood, when we walked through the park, and the water was about 3 feet deep on the right side of the path.  The left side is a runoff pond - it's about 8 feet deep or maybe deeper. 


The road to the park will be flooded soon.  It floods every spring and then after any hard rain during the summer.  Good thing: No cars on the road.  Bad thing: The park also floods, so we can't walk there either.

After our walk it was time to rinse Tibby off.  Tibby is getting very good about 'wait'.  I left her in the tub and went to find her towel.  She didn't move at all!

Even when Catty came to laugh at her (or offer her sympathy?).
