During and After the Storm

Whoa, we were hit with one storm after another. Finally the snowplow came down our street but blocked us in the driveway. Richard went out to do some shoveling and the Angels sent a guy with a Bobcat!
We weren't done yet...3 times he had to come and clear us out...Richard was thankful!
Undaunted by any amount of snow, all Chuck wants to do is fetch the ball. Here's how to keep him happiest!
Check out that powder! He plows right through.

Can't forget the wildlife. I put on the snowshoes and tramped down a trail to the bird feeders and shoveled a path so we would feed the squirrels and not lose Reisha in the snow.
Out on the road with snowshoes making tracks for Reisha and she's right on my heels. They love their walks and we're out there snow or shine!
What our walks look like...nice huh?
Just a pile of snow? No, it's the picnic table! Just to give you an idea of the depth of it all.
Beautiful trees!
Couldn't resist a picture of this little guy...isn't he cute? We've had a great experience here and have really enjoyed some snow and taking care of Chuck and Reisha...they are such great dogs! Next week, Valentine's Day, we'll be in Sacramento to visit Richard's sister Maxine and her husband Paul. Then on February 17th it's Granite Bay, CA...where the temperatures are in the 60's ;-)
