Hello Winter

Some (including my husband) would say it’s about time!! Since my January 13th post it has snowed everyday since or so it seems. It is beautiful. It’s still not as cold as it normally is but cold enough to snow.
Either it was January 13th or 14th but our new puppy decided he needed to go out. He was giving all sorts of signals but in the rejoicing of hubby getting home from work we missed them. Needless to say he went on the floor. In the process he managed to douse our door mat, so I told my husband to throw it onto the back porch and that I would wash it with the other carpets on Tuesday. Bad idea as we all know the whole east coast was hit my that wonderful ice storm. Now I hadn’t realized it was sleeting like crazy so I got up took the dog out and noticed the 1/2 to 3/4 in. sheet of ice that cover everything, including the beautiful floor mat glazed to the back porch. Needless to say the ice was “supposed to melt that Thursday-didn’t happen and now it is not only covered with very thick ice but also with about 7 or 8 inches of snow. Go figure!! Live and learn next time I’ll throw it on the front porch which is covered!!
