Snow day

My trusty De Smet Farm Insurance Co. of South Dakota yardstick from the Brown County fair showed 17 inches on the patio table this morning. And it's still snowing. It's a good insulator for the hive:
Jackson thinks the snow is dandy.
Lucy, not so much. Not only is it too deep ...
... Jackson already has a size and weight advantage. In the snow, Lucy just gets buried.
So Lucy spends a lot of time standing by the back door, hoping I'll let her back in to her snug bed.

Hey! says Jackson, Snow has a flavor!

  1. My dog loves to play in the snow too, and sit in it, and eat it, and roll around in it. Oh to be a dog...

  6. 17"? I'm so jealous. I think I've seen snow about 5 times in the last 10 years, and that's only when I've gone back to Chicago to visit family.

    The puppies are adorable.
