Random Thoughts

[arewethereyet]

After a couple random days that weren't horrible in between the cold as hell days, we thought there was some hope for better weather.  Nope - it's been raining for hours and the weatherpeople can't decide if we will also get snow and/or ice.  Regardless, it's not much fun with three dogs who have to do out at some point and I don't think waiting till Thursday or Friday is an option.

Time for a yard umbrella?

Look at the bright side, you don't have to shovel snow drifts to clear a spot.

That is true.  However, the black clay soil here is slow to absorb the rain and turns into something that is nearly impossible to remove from puppy feet.  A large portion of the backyard is currently under water.
