Misty in Snow Shoes





Misty had a ball playing in the snow. After all the Lhaso Apso dogs where first raised in Tibet and have extra large feet for walking on that snow. No one warned us how much the snow would catch on her hair though. She was a real mess when I took her in and I had to dip her legs in water to get the clumps of ice off of them. She took it in stride and was ready for the second walk once Gary had recovered from the first one and all his walkway clearing outside.
Silly man without even gloves on but he was having fun too!

It NEVER snows on the Oregon Coast !?!?!?






These are a few shots of the sights around the outside of our house this morning. Very unusual weather...I have always wanted to see snow on the sand of the beach and I saw it today.
Not all of it melted today and tonight it is going to do a hard freeze so tomorrow AM should be really interesting.
Thank goodness we have no where we have to go so we will be just fine, content to watch it from inside if need be.
If you have never been to our house, it is just 1200 sq feet on a very small lot. The metal railing you see is in the back yard and beyond it is three small fish ponds...covered in snow but pretty in the summer. The picture of Gary in the street is out in front of the house.
Check out the dog pictures in the next post...our little Misty sure had fun and made a mess of herself.

Attitude

Attitude


There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only
three hairs on her head. Well," she said,
"I think I'll braid my hair today."
So she did and she had
a wonderful day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror
and saw that she had only two hairs
on her head. "H-M-M," she said,
"I think I'll part my hair down
the middle today."
So she did
and she
had a
grand
day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and
noticed that she had only one hair on her head.
"Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear
my hair in a pony tail." So she did
and she had a fun, fun day.



The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and
noticed that there wasn't a single hair on
her head.

"YEA!" she exclaimed,
"I don't have to fix my hair today!"


Attitude is everything.


Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you
meet is fighting some kind of battle. Live
simply, Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly......
Leave the rest to God
