Nearly every one of my posts would qualify for that thread! Like loneliness and cheeseburgers:

Merlin is an Australian Shepherd, but he's jumping through the snow so he looks short legged. Better watch yerself cat, he's fast.

It's getting pretty nasty out there. I just stepped out to take this picture of the back yard, thermometer says about 8 degrees, the wind is picking up and well, you can see what the snow is doing.

I actually used to have a dog named Merlin - great dog, but the damn cat got him!

Guess I better shovel before I want to be in cozy warmth watching the Eagle's game ...

There's a car in here somewhere ...


Oh, here it is ...




Made it out There was about a foot of snow to shovel to make a path to the space to the rear of the one I was trapped in, and at least five feet to the front. I'm no dummy. Backed right out. Okay, not right out ... took a couple tries and all the skill I could muster along with the traction control system's help ... Backing uphill was not as easy as it looked.


And parked it illegally.


MomWolf's is just going to have to thaw out.

First thing this morning I took a picture of the cedar tree outside my window. This is one of my standard "Hey, it snowed!" pictures.


At least the squirrels haven't stolen the feeder yet. I expect them to chew through the string any minute now. I have had the local squirrels destroy $40 "squirrel proof" feeders, so I just buy a bunch of the $1.99 ones at Walmart and take my chances. They stole my suet cage last year, which had been secured to a metal bracket with a chain. My fault, because I didn't have the foresight to weld the links closed.


Somewhere under the snow is a very cute planter, shaped like a bunny. The lump in the right foreground is my grill. I will be using the George Foreman for the next few months, I think.


The bottom half of that cedar ...


Looks like we did get a little warming going on. The big guy there is about 3-1/2 feet.
