Snow Clean Up Day

Yesterday was a snowy day we had about a foot of snow fall and that meant the snow blower, and shovels had a workout. Linda and I had stiff backs from cleaning the deck and stairs off all day. Then last night we tackled the driveway, walks and finally paths for the dogs to use. Sam, Molly and Mia (her first major snow) were just little out of control :o). Mia who is on the small side found she had to keep jumping and leaping to get through the snow. Molly and Sam took advantage of this and decided to get their revenge on Mia as she constantly is after them. I have posted some pictures which I hope you enjoy. After being out for a couple of hours they all came in got dried and warmed and fell into comas. They never moved all night. Today was another day to play and tomorrow we see more snow fall and ice. It looks like it is going to be a long winter. I'm looking for a early spring and gardening this cold weather is tough on the joints :)
We have our Christmas trees up one is a 4 foot artificial that Linda puts up early Thaksgiving night. The other tree is real and varies is height and width (depending on what we find in the tree woods). This year Linda was conservative we made the height and width with no problem.(I always think of Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation when we cut the net off the tree one time it is going to go out the windows .) The Christmas tree aroma is wonderful.Mia is on a daily mission to see how many ornaments she can steal and get out the door with. She has managed to get a few out.
