Welcome

 
Along with the yarrow not getting cut and dried, our little welcome lab got left outside as well...it is now frozen to the ground and has become an immovable object. Of course, it IS -19F today (-28C) and school was canceled. I would like to think I am not a weather wimp but.....that is pretty darn cold....especially if your car breaks down and one would have to walk some place....

ABC Wednesday "J" is for jumping

My nephew caught this dog at the park. A great find for ABC Wednesday...J is for Jumping!
Enjoy all the ABC participants here thanks to Denise!

A frosty Inverness morning

 
The 3 trees down near the street are the Mountain Ash. I will miss them when they go but we are not going to cut them down until they are gone. I have neighbor who is trying to save his trees and spending a lot of money on pesticides I'm sure. I think it is a lost cause. The Ash borer will get them anyway. There are no Elm trees left due to Dutch elm disease. I don't imagine the Mountain Ash will fare any better. Clancy was off on a mission on this frosty morning....He has figured out the electric fence(where he can go without getting zapped) so he was feeling pretty bold today.

Our First Frost....

 
Our first frost.....Simon was not sure what to do about it..He has been in Texas most of his life....I can hardly wait until it snows to see how he does!

Two Inverness Dogs

 

This is a special photo for JoAnn who nominated me for a blog award. For her and her Ios...here are 2 of the cutest dogs I know, Clancy and Gryffindor. Hope Ios is doing well!

The Inverness swimming hole

 
Normally, there is no water in this ditch except when it rains and the ditch delivers it to the wetlands beyond us. Unfortunately, all the rain we had has made this a lovely place for Clancy to swim.....He pondered it for a moment but only for a minute and then he was in! I don't think anyone would mind him cooling off...I am usually a well-behaved dog owner, but this was too much fun to not do.

An Inverness Dog, swimming!

 

You might think that we are at a dog water park. You would be wrong! We have had so much rain, this is the result. This has been a problem for years....I can't count back how many but this "ditch" or "culvert" or whatever you want to call it, has filled with water and boy oh boy did Clancy have fun on our walk this morning.
