Dream Big

There is the purest quality of condensed chaos existing in this household.  It erupts -almost like clockwork - every single day - come the slightest bit of daylight through the bathroom window blinds.

And it almost pushes buttons far enough to entice sharing space in the coffee cup with a shot of Kahlua.

The potty-training phase of bringing home a new puppy is consuming most of my life at the moment.  Man alive - this girl is no different than taking on three Zuckers!  She doesn’t just bring challenges.  She brings a battle - Battle of the Nerves!  Battle of the Use of Paper Towels!  Battle of the Stock of Mr. Clean!

She’s even brought a Battle of the Nerves for the washing machine!

Just heard our local weather guy inform us that we’re sitting at about 20* below normal temperatures for this time of year.

I believe him.  I have every reason to believe him.

Here are two photos taken yesterday - of two entirely different icicles.

 

Can you find anything common between the two of them.  Okay - besides frozen water - Goofus!  Actually - they have one other thing in common - like - being long and thick enough to do some real damage on any unwelcomed guest - without a single bullet being necessary!

Dwayne said that - not me.  " Think about it - no evidence left behind! "  Sometimes - I worry.  Should I worry about me - or him?


Notice how they’re curved?  That was artwork - so says all the southwest wind that came our way.  It passed through all day long - like some train holding everybody up at a crossing for a half-hour!  Fortunately - it was passing through with enough speed to make it impossible for all the snow to land around our place!

I’ve been so busy with all the Battles of…. - enough that the task of ordering seed for our garden has been set aside - among a few other items on that neverending list.  But - I’ve made a decision.  I’ll go ahead and order the seed.  Maybe that will jinx all the cold weather!

Well - I can wish - can’t I ?
