I’m convinced that our snow is on the way out – yep – indeed……..it got all the way up to 45 degrees today and lo and behold there were some patches of green showing through the snow! That’s a sure sign that the snow – at long last – is melting!!! Let’s hear it for THE BIG MELT! Boy oh boy are we ready. Especially me. I love to eat my greens you know and it’s been ages!
Mom and Dad got the house cleaned yesterday and right in the middle of Mom doing laundry I began screeching asking politely if she’d stop what she was doing and TAKE ME OUT.
I wanted to examine the yard to see what progress we were making with THE BIG MELT. My Mom’s great – she DID stop what she was doing and took me out. I paced up and down our sidewalk looking for just one blade of grass – JUST ONE – poking out of the snow. I was excited when I found a few – nothing to write home about – just a few – I want to graze like a sheep out there and I get THREE blades of grass?
Well, I guess I’ll just have to wait for a little while longer…………we’re sneaking up on Spring……….it’s getting closer I can feel it………..it’s just a matter of time before:
The sun will be back soon, my handsome friend!

Hi Miss Pix! My Mom has played that song by Pharrell Williams about elebenty-gabillion times – she really loves it. No wonder it made you HAPPY….it made her HAPPY too!! That little friend behind me is De-Do….I’ve done a couple of blogs about him before. Mom and Dad heard about little De-Do on their honeymoon in Paris at Notre Dame Cathedral. Story was that when the workmen were installing all the gargoyles that decorate the cathedral on the outside one of the nuns thought they looked evil so she brought up the little statue of De-Do which she thought would balance the scary gargoyles with his “happy” face. Some years later a little boy found his way to the roof of the Cathedral and almost fell OFF the roof but thanks to De-Do’s little toes sticking out over the edge, his shirt was caught and he was saved! Mom loved the story – she found the status of little De-Do in a garden store but these days if you google “De-Do” you’ll see lots of places have little De-Do…..the story about him is supposedly TRUE (so says the Notre Dame guides anyway!).
