Sharon, I am so thankful that you are starting to feel like you have turned a corner. That is the best start to a new year that I can think of. Your Sunshine dog is a delight and that is a great picture you shared of her enjoying the snow. I have such a special place in my heart for all our dogs who constantly bring joy to our lives.
It has been snowing in northern Virginia since 1:00 yesterday afternoon and still going strong. The forecast is estimating 30" or more. I am fully stocked with food (was with the hoards at the grocery stores before it started) and the house is warm and toasty. Power is still on. I am looking forward to a day holed up by the wood stove with a good book, the computer, and hot soup. Mike has been out plowing for the town of Leesburg since it started - he took a change of clothes and food figuring he would be out plowing for the next few days. So funny that I am so content to be snug at home and he is like a kid enjoying being out and about playing in the snow with the added benefit of actually getting paid for it
. We don't get snows like this very often, but probably more often than western Kentucky.
