Winter has finally arrived.

Front garden frozen and snowy

Well I think winter has finally arrived with a bang. This week the uk has been having harsh weather conditions with minus 0 temperatures, it has been very cold to say the least.Having said that there are alot of places up north that have had it really bad with lots of snowfall, we had some in the midlands but not much more of a light sprinkling, but more is predicted

Uggs out of hybernation

The lane where I live, anyone for ice skating

Nice open fire and my mug of cocoa warm n snug at last

Followed by a warm Lush bath ummm

Purcey (?) Update

Just a quick little note to say that our newest family member is already settled in. Yesterday we took a quick walk over to the golf course. Normally, Murphy can't make it past the end of the driveway if it there is snow on the ground  but he was not going to be left behind with competition  Purcey in the picture. NO WAY. Murphy totally seemed to forget that he does not have a winter coat and only weighs 6 pounds.

The kids in the hood are already sledding!

Matt helped Murph out when his little paws got too cold. I know I need to buy him some little booties.
(Murph not Matt).

I just realized that I all I ever blog about is my dogs. Good thing they are not cats. How boring would that be?

By the way, right now it is snowing like crazy. I am totally ready to put up my Christmas tree. Am I crazy? I usually wait until Black Friday (I can't stand Christmas shopping crowds).

Would it be too much if I have a 10 foot tree up at Thanksgiving?

When do you start Christmas decorating?

Welcome to my world

It is snowing this morning.

Well, bring it winter.

I can take it, even though my calendar is most definitely telling me it is FALL.

 I promise I just wanted to sit here and drink coffee and eat cinnamon raisin toast anyway.

Cross Country Day 7: We survive Exit 88, only to hit... SNOW?

So, we push off from Buffalo to head over towards Bighorn National Forest.  It's raining, and we're pushing up into and through a mountain pass, and..

it starts snowing. 

In the middle of June.

WONDERFUL.

We drive through about an hour of snow, which at it's peak, was about 4 inches of accumulation (we saw a snow plow go past us in the other direction), and it finally starts clearing back up into rain.

After stopping for lunch and discovering 10 pounds of packed ice and snow stuck up in the undercarriage of the van (took us an hour to figure -that- one out, why our accelerator was sticking in idle), we finally (FINALLY!) reach Cody for the night, and check into a KOA with a hot tub.

We needed to melt off the Exit 88 incident, and the snow filled- mountain pass adventure off our bodies!!
