Yesterday was a catch up day. Meaning, catch up on the shoveling from the snow fall the evening before. It was a mere single digit degree day yesterday, but Bits and I still geared up and put in our time outdoors.
He was very irritated with the idea of going into the snow, now at about his waist level, and had no intent of even stepping into it until he saw his furry backyard neighbors. The snow was too high for them to come visit us, so I told Bits if he wanted to see the arfs he'd have to follow Mommy's tracks and walk through the snow. With much complaining, he managed the majority of the way and reached his doggy goal, plus a bonus of his favorite backyard neighbor lady. After a short visit we headed along our deep path back to our home and Mommy hand shoveled the driveway as Bits knocked snow off of the retaining wall. Much fun, much fun.
When Bacon went down for his nap, I returned outside to tackle shoveling the remaining areas and take oodles of winter pics. The sun was bright and the sky crisp and blue, making for perfect photography time. Yes it was cold yesterday, (bitter cold according to numerous forecasters), but I think Mike well prepared Bits and I by making us go on many frigid walks along the Black River walkway in our favorite Lake Michigan town, South Haven. There's nothing like the bite of winter wind that comes off of one of the Great Lakes.
