APPARENTLY THE ONCOMING STORM COULD BE SERIOUS...-- THE CONCEPT OF ME
KEEPING THE DRIVEWAY OPEN AT 2AM WITH MY SPOONSIZE PLOW--GIVES ME
CONCERN..
THE USUAL PLAN IS TO PLOW EVERY 4 INCHES WHICH MEANS I CAN JUST RUN AT
IT-- IT ALL SOUNDS PERFECT UNTIL THE WIND BLOWS IT ALL BACK AGAIN..
I DO HAVE A FRONT END BUCKET-- WHICH EVENTUALLY WILL CLEAR ABOUT
ANYTHING---
IT IS THAT EVENTUALLY PART
THAT GETS ME..
WITH SNOW COMES COLD.. COLD IS NOT MY FAVORITE-- I DO HAVE A SNOWSUIT,
PILOT'S FUNNY HAT WITH EARS.... AND LEATHER FUZZY GLOVES--BUT I NEED ADDITIONAL
PEOPLE HERE TO WATCH ME SLIDE AROUND THE DRIVEWAY AND BE SURE I AM STILL RIGHT
SIDE UP.
WHAT WE NEED IS AN OVERNIGHT PARTY-- WATCH THE PUPPIES--- KEEP ALL THE
FIRES GOING-- AND KEEP THEIR EYE ON THE TRACTOR.
PROBABLY THERE WILL BE NO PIZZA DELIVERY... SO WE BETTER STOCK UP.
AND MAKE SURE THE GENERATORS ARE RUNNING.-- THE DOG FOOB BINS ARE FULL--
AND JUST FOR GOOD LUCK--- ALL THE STOCK TANKS ARE FILLED WITH WATER..
ONE FOOT OF SNOW CONCERNS BUT DOES NOT PANIC ME--- BUT YESTERDAY THERE
WAS A WEATHER REPORT "OVER 2 FEET IN EASTERN MASS" THAT CAN BE MORE
CHALANGE... ESPECIALLY IF IT BLOWS..
ONE GOOD THING--- THERE WILL BE NO POO TIO PICK...- BEING WARM---IT
DISAPPEARS IN ONE FOOT OF SNOW...................TIL
SPRING..................
*******************
WE ARE RUNNING AN ICU IN TH EHOUSE.......VANILLA-S FOOT SHE BEGAN TO
WORK AT THE BANDAGE SO I RE DID IT AND HAVE O KEEP HER WITHIN SIGHT SO SHE DOES
NOT EAT TH E BANDAGE-- THE COST OF RETRIEVING A BANCDAGE FROM A GUT IS VERY
LARGE...
AND WE HAVE FIRST SPAY WILLOW-- DOING FINE-- THEN YESTERDAYS SPAYS
ROXANNE AND LOLA BOTH SLIGHTLY ON TH E BIAS STILL...
ADD THAT TO NOEL AND PUPS.. THE HOUSE IS "WELL USED"
****************
FASCINATING FACT FOR TODAY...
100 YEARS AGO-- BETTY-- WHO WAS THE FIRST VOLUNTEER TO SLEEP ON THE FLOOR
WHILE PUPS WERE BORN...-- BACK WHEN SWIFTERS WERE NEW-- BETTY BOUGHT ONE FOR
ME-- WHICH WAS VERY NICE EXCEPT A SHOVEL IS MORE TO TH EPOINT AROUND HERE..A
SWIFTER FOR THE DUST COLLECTION WAS WAY BEYOND WHAT WAS CALLED FOR... BUT I PUT
IT IN TH E OVERFLOW ROOM
UNTIL NOW-- WHEN I HAD A VINYL FLOOR PUT IN WHAT IS NOW MY ROOM-- WHEN I
GOT OUT OF BED AND WALKED AROUND BAREFOOT... THERE WERE PEBBLES--- SO I FOUND
THAT OLD SWIFTER AND SWIFTED--- AND I COULD WALK AROUND BAREFOOT.-- I COULD FEEL
THE DIFFERENCE A SWIFTER MADE..
.I REALIZE-- IN A FARM SITUATION THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN NOT SEE THAT
SHOULD PREVENT YOU FROM WALKING BAREFOOT... LIKE HOOKWORMS AND TETANAS--
I DON'T THINK THEY SWIFT....
IMMAGINE ... ME... WITH A SWIFTABLE ROOM !!!
***************
ENOUGH NONSENSE-- I HAVE TO THINK HOW TO SURVIVE THE STORM... LOOSING
ELECTRICITY MEANS LOOSING HEAT...-- MAYBE IF PEOPLE COULD TAKE A DOG OVERNIGHT
IT MIGHT BE GOOD
LIKE POLLY AND BOB-- TAKE BAILEY AND LUNA???
