Thankful Thursday

I have two things to be thankful for today. First, Shyla is steadily getting better. She woofs her displeasure if she doesn't get to go on a morning bike ride with me. So, we've restarted riding together, albeit with short rides and some howling thrown in.

 

She was full of energy this morning, wanting to run and leap in the fresh snow. I am so thankful to see her bouncing back.

The other thing that I am thankful for is that there may be a HUGE pile of snow for her to play in soon. A storm is taking aim at our area and will probably stall out over us, dumping lots of snow on our area. Various weather forecasts put the total snow over four days at 2-7' (it's very hard to predict the weather close to the Divide). For once, I am enthusiastically cheering it on, hoping for enough snow to dig us out of our drought. I want flowers and no fires this coming summer!

This was the driveway to Lab Valley after our last fairly small snowstorm. I am hoping that we soon have more snow for the pups to play in and for picturesque winter scenes.

  7. To be sure, snow is so welcome when it will fend off a drought.I am guessing you rely on rain water or do you have a bore and get underground water? Such good news that Shyla has recovered so well. Love that road view, amazing.( that is, for someone down here who doesn't live where the snow falls like that )

    1. Hi Jean! We have a well so we get water from below the ground. Thank goodness! The only issue can be that, if the power goes off, the well pump won't work. We are storing water in jugs just in case that happens.

  21. Oh, I wasn't thinking of that aspect of it - bring it on then! We were in a drought last fall too but have already gotten enough snow this winter to get out of it.
