Doom Gloom and more doom !!

1/18/2012

Well, here I am, perched on the edge of the bed…(.it’s softer and less resistant on the back/butt ) looking out the window at a pretty frigid landscape. It didn’t snow a whole lot last night (Monday night) but it did freeze and if the weather forecasters are to be believed we are in for a “doozey” or a “dumping” ( their words not mine) tomorrow. I have never seen weather people so excited so animated so stimulated !  MJ on Fox 13 was moved enough to wear her snowflake brooch as she prophesised doom gloom and snow today.. and particularly tomorrow. On channel 4 last night hands were waving around and without a word of a lie, I thought the weather man was going to pass out at the scale of the doom and gloom he was so excitedly forecasting. The Pacific North West even made CNN’s weather man get animated, we don’t usually even make the green screen ! So, if there is no Daily Diary for a few days, please spare a thought for us, we are almost certainly living in darkness, eating from the barbeque and praying that the generator holds out. The storm supposedly is THE worst for 60 years…oh dear, Armageddon calls. Power lines will be down, trees will fall, Interstate 5 will be a parking lot….and that’s after an inch of snow ! I’m not making light of our situation, and tomorrow I may be eating my words (and snow).

Regardless of Arctic conditions poor Bran the Border Collie has to get to the vet. A dog with toothache is really sad. Luckily we checked his mouth…even luckier he let us check his mouth ! it could have been nasty. We will keep you updated, hopefully the vet doesn’t try to fit a denture…not sure the cheque book could take that.

Gertie the goose got to the stall door again yesterday after the evening process from the pasture to the stall. It’s possibly a good thing she doesn’t try to partake on Quest’s gourmet grain….he’s not good on sharing. It is hoped that Gertie doesn’t try to take a quick swim today, those webbed goose feet aren’t designed for ice skating.

Time to go, keep safe, keep warm, take care, M

Please visit the “Hope for Georgia” page, try to understand this debilitating syndrome and if you could, please donate towards much needed research. Thank you. M
