And it’s still snowing. It’s really amazing to us. We couldn’t wait to get out and play in it this morning. We blamed our rush to get outside on Charlie.
Doug: Charlie, are you ready to go out? Do you need to go to the bathroom? I better take him out.
Me: Yeah, he had a lot of water last night. Let me get my gear on.
5 minutes later…at 7:05 AM,
Doug: Do you have the camera?
Me: Yeah. Did you grab some bags for Charlie’s biz?
Doug: No. It’ll freeze on impact.
Me: Gross. But, true. Let’s go.
Here’s what we’ve done:
- run around in the snow
- fallen in the snow
- Charlie has eaten lots and lots of snow
- I ate a little snow
- got snow in our eyes, which is really cold
- made a snowman, best we could for a couple of Texans
- kicked snow on each other
- met a lot of neighbors
- Chuck made out with Daisy, a Great Pyrenees madame. She’s very regal, you’d have to meet her.
- Got b-fast
- Charlie got his paw stuck to the metal grate on the sewer. Sad, but we recovered.
- Charlie (and Doug and I) learned that the salt for the ground stings his paws. Avoided salt for the rest of the day.
- Charlie stuck his face in the snow, all the way up to his eyes! (isn’t this list fascinating)
- Got rosy cheeks. And if you know my cheeks, that’s a lot of surface area.
- Got really, really cold.
- Had fun.
Here’s our world-class, Vogue worthy photos from our day. Love and kisses from your favorite Southern imports making their way in a Northern world.
p.s. more snow expected for the remainder of the day and into tomorrow morning.
p.p.s. People can’t drive in the snow up here, either. No one is out on the roads and the local news is providing non-stop coverage. The good news is that our pub is open. So, it’s fish and chips for dinner tonight!
