Stormy Weather...


Oh my goodness! What a winter we've had up here in the UP of Michigan. Steve plows pretty much every day.


Church was cancelled yesterday because Saturday night we had freezing rain. I heard it bouncing off the windows around 2:00 am. Last night our blizzard warning went into high gear. WOW!



We get a bit antsy here if we can't get out, so we made the attempt today with the truck in four-wheel drive even though the county plow didn't get here until 5:00 pm today. Those guys sure had their hands full! We salute you! Thank you!


Our dog, Bear, loves the high snow banks. She just puts her face in the window when she wants in.


And she loves to dig holes in the snow for her to nap in. She is part Lab and big part husky. And of course she's watching Steve snow blow again.


All is good. Need a nap now.


The snow is still blowing. I doubt there will be school tomorrow. But it sure is pretty. I keep telling myself that...

Snowy Owls


On our township hall's sign, it reads "Rudyard - Snowy Owl Capital of Michigan". We have enjoyed watching these awesome birds this winter. We see them on top of telephone poles on our way home from church, on a barn on our way to town today, and in a certain tree when Steve grooms the snowmobile trail.


They are beautiful creatures!
