Current status: Running on coffee and desperation

The morning started well before 6 a.m., but that's only to be expected these days. 
Cowboy can sleep through anything, but Badger and I are more sensitive to noise, so that makes for a long day.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.” — Saint Francis de Sales

It's almost 9 p.m., and the house is quiet. 
I’m enjoying it, but I know it means a very early start to the morning.

Just remember: Every cold day is one step closer to summer

We made it to town. 
There was a little bit of snow overnight and the temperatures got below freezing, but nothing stuck this time. 
The only place we went was Walmart.

Your child is always your child. You don't stop loving or worrying about them just because they are adults

Cowboy didn't get home from work until 3 a.m., and Raven didn't leave for work until 3:30 a.m., which is running late as far as Cowboy and I can figure.

Needless to say, I didn't have a restful night, but I still woke up at 7:30 a.m.
If I can ever get my hands on that inner alarm clock, I'm going to choke it.
Four or five hours of sleep does not do Jane any favors.

I don't always play in the snow, but when I do, it's epic ❄️🐾

 They were calling for rain this evening, so Heron sent us a text from work to make sure Lady got one more romp in the snow before the rain washed it away.
Badger grabbed her camera and the dog and headed to the backyard.
Lady enjoyed her snowy romp, and Badger got some incredible pictures.

This weather is snow joke!

 What is there to say? 
We still have snow and it’s cold.
