Winter Wonderland

We all know that I'm not a big fan of the winter months. I would hibernate if I found it at all feasible. I do however enjoy curling up on the couch under a blanket and reading a great book. The past two weeks I was given that unexpected opportunity a few times.
Last Tuesday I enjoyed a snow day. I haven't been that excited since my school days. I woke up to a phone call at 5:30 in the morning stating we were closed and told to go back to bed. Well, when I found out I had the day off my mind started racing about all the things I could do and I couldn't get back to sleep. No concerns though because on a snow day you can take naps.
This past Monday was then Presidents Day, which I happily spent the day at home appreciating the Presidential change that is soon to come. Then yesterday (Friday) another call at 5:30 in the morning. YES! - another snow day. I didn't get to the phone this time and happily slept until the dog woke me up. I could get used to this three day work week. I was glad to spend the day at home because the combination of snow and freezing rain did a number on our roads. Tevita hasn't been as lucky as me. I have footage of him going to the car with lunch in hand. Thank goodness for 4-wheel drive.



Shang loves the snow, but wasn't too fond of the freezing rain. He got a bit frustrated when his legs kept sliding as he tried to do his business. We enjoyed the weather from under the awning.



I was ready for spring back in November.
