A surprise blizzard
We had a one day break from snow storms, and the pups and I enjoyed it at sunset yesterday. The snow had a golden hue from the setting sun.
The dogs romped together.
And R looked very serious, except for the slobber on his forehead. I suspect that it was Shyla's slobber decorating him.
Today, we were supposed to have light snow totaling about 2" accumulation. Oh my, those forecasters were wrong. We got about another foot of powder.

Before Shyla and I headed out snowbiking, I wanted to snap a photo for our Daily Dog Challenge photography group. A picnic in a blizzard!
In the next photo, it appeared that Shyla had decided that her human was truly crazy.
Don't worry - Shyla got to frolic in the snow after our photo-taking. During our blizzard bike ride, she peeked from behind a tree while she waited for her pokey human. Throughout my bike ride, she porpoised through the bottomless snow, running with endless joyful energy, covering at least twice the distance that I did.
The snow canceled Shyla's in-town training session. The road crews weren't ready for our surprise storm, and the airwaves were rife with stories of accidents and closed roads. We stayed home and sat by the fire.
R knows how to relax - I should take a lesson from him.

That is a lot of snow! It is really beautiful, especially with those beautiful faces next to it. I think we should all take a lesson from R.

Oh how beautiful. I love the days that we get snowed in and MOM has to stay home and we cuddle and I go out and romp around a while in the snow. The only thing missing for us is the fireplace.

These are perfectly wonderful pix! I guess the main difference is your pups like to play in it and mine just likes to answer natures call and get back in the house!
ReplyDeleteShe used to play in it, its just too deep for her this year. She thinks R has the right idea!

Holy crap ! A picnic, that's what I'm talkin about

I envy you being able to stay home out of the storm. No such luck here! I adore Shyla's picnic in the snow pictures! I can't lie, though, I'm ready for Spring to get here.
ReplyDeleteRomping in the snow....and snuggling by the fire....awwwwwwwww!
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, bella & Roxy
Hoping the warm fire helped your sore body...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful surprise. I love snow, but I think I would get lost in all that snow- but not R and Shyla!
ReplyDeleteSo beautious

It still astounds us that you can ride a bike in all that snow. We could run though it just like Shyla & R, but mama would never be able to keep up.
ReplyDeleteHope your back & arm & hands feel better soon. Mama is most empathetic, having similar issues but for different reasons. Sucks. Good thing the peeps have us to cheer them up.
Enjoy your fire and your day of relaxation, KB. LOVE the snow pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
What a wheather you have...but its nice to relax by the fire too. Great pictures of the qute ones
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures (including the slobber.)
ReplyDeleteWe love your idea of a snow picnic!! Oranges and wine :)

ReplyDeleteWow KB these pics would make a beautiful calendar for 2013 always love pictures of your duo they always make smile. Such pretty faces they do have..have fun you live in such an adventurous place hugs
I like your picnic in the snow! Also the picture of the two of them romping together.
ReplyDeleteHaha - picnic in the snow - maybe next time a bbq? ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as always! I bet if Shyla and R could nominate you for dog mom of the year - you'd win hands down!
So very pretty!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how much energy and stamina a dog has! Simply amazing. Even a very fit person can't compete!
These photos are sensational!
ReplyDeleteI heard about your SNOW Blizzards and 50"....that is an awful lot of white stuff. My friend in Aurora that I grew up with in N.S. a few decades ago just started blogging. She showed numerous snow shots from her POV.the passed couple days.
ReplyDeleteShyla and R must have had a grand time circling the wagons as it were. I think that your blizzard picnic will be spectacular.
Your snow is magnificent, just like your photos. We would love to have all that snow, but we won't be greedy after all the fun we are having this week. Mom would prefer not to have any more please and thank you.

I was so hoping for a snow day after this last storm. Darn. But you got one! I think both of us need to relax a bit like R!
ReplyDeleteYour delightful photo's are always a joy to see and so much happening - even in the middle of winter - does give us all inspiration to experience the same.
