Super Bowl Sunday 2016

I will watch the Super Bowl game today until it is not close. I will not watch any pre-game nor post game. Not a chance that I will watch the halftime show. No photos on this post ... just a link from Super Bowl Sunday in 2016 ... ten years ago.

Super Bowl Sunday 2016 

It's going to be a good day here today in "the tropics" of Southern Indiana. 

The Snow Is Melting

Ava is growing in front of my eyes, getting bigger. I still think she will be on the smaller side of a female German Shepherd because of her mom. The dad was a large male but she looks like her mom in color and build. These two are becoming closer friends to each other. To the point that Walter now chases Ava around the house when he is in the mood to play.

Slowly Getting Warmer

We have finally broken the code for freezing weather this morning. Temps are heading slowly back to our normal mild winter temperatures. In ten days they tell me it will be up to 56°. With it being 32° right now a lot of this snow will start melting. It already has since that photo is from January 26th.

Thinking About Winston Today

With the icicles dripping with water, the snow is finally melting slowly. It has a long way to go because when I walked out into my side yard yesterday to clear a small pop up spout ground level for my sump pump ... I walked in snow that came up to my knee. I started thinking about Winston this morning and decided to put this together. The photos are not in any kind of order.

A Little More Snow

 

Henry definitely could be in that cartoon.

First Stage Of Storm Arrives

Saturday morning started off clear with a forecast of snow starting around 10am. Things had changed since Friday though, and it looked like it wasn't going to be as brutal as the Thursday forecast. Not much was planned as I had gone out Friday and bought an extra 44# of dog food, some dry food for me in case we lost power like last year. Not having ice was going to be nice. I can handle a lot of snow as long as it's not wet or icy.

Last January Was Different

First of all, none of these photos are in the order I posted. All of them happen in the first two weeks of January last year. Can you believe I shoveled my driveway and patio of thick ice and snow five months before I found out I was in a situation of "heart failure"? I also cut up all the fallen tree limbs and carried them to the back berm during that time. We had an ice storm with no electrical power four days and nights. Walter loved the snow as did Ava. I will let the photos tell the story ... January 2025.
