@callingcolleen1 it was freaky and at one point I was stopped right next to them at a stop sign and there was a car w/ only a small space to squeeze through parked on the right and I wanted to get by them so I thought.............should I squeeze by them and risk touching this one guys bike...........yikes I was very careful and made it by him. A guy on the sidewalk walking said to me.......they are quite intimidating aren't they? I never saw so many motorcycles crammed together in one bunch all over town. The gang stops traffic on their own so all the bikes can pass through. Cops were keeping an eye on them but if anything went wrong the cops would lose.

I will gladly take your cold JW!! I wish I could be out mowing my lawn, but too much snow now and roads are slick after our seasons first heavy snow and ground freeze up. The first freeze up is bad cause the ground is still warm and then the snow melted at first and then froze so we have ice under the snow now, Makes shoveling harder too cause you have to scape the ice.

Little Rio is running around the house like the little terror that she is. Rio barks if she does not get her way and she is getting me well trained now! After a hardy one egg fried in gee butter breakfast with my old friends little girl Jemma, little Rio was just full of energy and they played so nice together.

Rio has her own boaster seat so she can eat off the table too!

Spoiled to say the least!
Brrrrrrrrrrrr, it is going to freeze here tonight so had to roll some plants into the garage. Some I just can't bear to let die. Only 5 of them so not too bad.

Sheesh Colleen that was fast! You are so cold and all that snow in a flash. Sorry for you and yes I will keep my puny little cold, wet weather thank you :)

I can handle the cold but detest the wind. It just finds ways to worm in no matter how tightly your bundled. + it gives me an ear ache, all those years of diving made my ears sensitive to cold I guess.
Tbendl, did you ever work in the heat to the point of almost heatstroke? I had a neighbor many years ago tell me her doctor said if you are ever to the point of heatstroke, that will make your ears very sensitive to the wind and cold. She wore a stocking cap almost year round, especially when it was windy, even if it was warm. I, too, have sensitive ears, but not that bad. I've always asked people when they can relate to the need for covered ears, and seems almost every one of them at one time or another worked too long and hard in the heat of the summer. I just wonder if that may be the case?! I scuba dive, too, but not nearly as much as I'm sure you have/do. That never seemed to bother my ears, but I'm really careful to equalize in the beginning of a dive. Nothing worse than not equalizing, and continuing with a dive! OUCH!!!

Oh, yuck on the gravel-picking-up snowblower, Mitch! You will have to figure out a way to not let it dig down so deep, I guess.
It was 68 here today, and windy. I'm sick and tired of the wind, that's for sure, but oh well! At least I am thankful for having a cozy warm house to come inside, and leave the winds outside, although I hear them howling at the doors. Temps are dropping here, too, just like JB in WI! Tomorrow night going down to 20's and then only highs in the 30's and lows in the 20's for the next week or so. Brr ... but give me sunshine and 30 and no wind, and I'm fine with that! 50 and windy and drizzly wet, YUCK! Stay warm everyone, especially that little Rio puppy, Colleen! She is a doll!!! I can tell she is already ruling your house, including your dogs. :)
