Sláinte!

There's no green to be seen anywhere. We got six inches of snow last night and it's still coming down.

It was the kind that hung in the trees. It wasn't wet, but it was heavy.

It wasn't much good for sleigh riding.

We tried.

The pup came out but got too cold from diving in the snow drifts.

This better be the last time this year that I have to shovel the white stuff. I'm ready for some green.

An Early St. Patrick's Day

 I braved the pre-snow panic in the grocery stores to bring home the traditional St Patty's Day dinner supplies.

 Finding the corned beef was tricky. Everyone was out.

 The bakery supplied the sweet stuff.

 We went ahead and celebrated on Sunday. With this winter storm in the forecast, who knows what tomorrow will bring.

 I can't see cooking corned beef on the wood stove.

Beer and cupcakes. That's what I call a dessert.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!

 It seems more like Christmas than Mardi Gras.

 There's been a lot of snow and it's been really cold.

 A good drink will keep you warm.

 So will a chestful of beads. I've got a lot of crazy beads.

 The two pups love the snow.

This one wasn't crazy about sledding though.
