Winter 2008 Snow

The week before Christmas brought over 20" of snow--the most I have ever experienced. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Phoenix discovered squirrels! She would sit for hours waiting for them to come to the bird feeder.

My car, soon after this shot, totally disappeared under the snow.

Wallace is barely visible as he races around the Corgi luge track in the backyard.

Phoenix wins! Note that the Corgis are running on top of a foot of snow and ice.

Welcome to our world

C-Myst Baledwr Lothlorien, aka "Frodo" has come to live with us. Phoenix, nervous at first, has decided that puppies are a good time and is a most patient and entertaining babysitter. Wallace, on the other hand, is not impressed with Frodo's attempts to play. 

Frodo was introduced to the chickens, turkeys and goats today from the safety of my arms. He reacted most to the turkeys, and his body language said, "Those suckers are HUGE!"

Here are shots from Frodo's first day:
