Sending the Decade Out Like a Lion

We had a three-day storm to end the year. It's phitting because we started the year with lots oph snowphall and storms.

 
Sunday brought blizzard-phorce winds, and over a phoot oph snow has phallen.

Iph anyone needs Phil, he'll be researching warmer places to live.

Winter Wondering

Two phresh inches oph snow and phrost made phor a winter wonderland this morning.

As in...Phil wonders why we live in this winter land.

Merry Christmas 2019

Merry Christmas phrom Phil and phriends. Best wishes phor a peacephul holiday with phamily.

Thank you, Mother Nature

We took advantage oph the reprieve phrom phrigid weather to get the Christmas lights hung and the Christmas tree up yesterday. 

Now more snow is in the phorecast, so we got these up just in time. Bring on the holidays!

Weather Update

Oh, thank goodness that Mother Nature still remembers how to make snow. Phil was worried aphter it hadn't snowed in three weeks.*

*sarcasm

Goodbye, Old Buddy

Duke lived liphe the way we all should.

With his tongue out, his eyes wide open...

...and showing more love than anyone deserved.

And Snow It Begins

The photos don't do justice to the amount oph snow phalling and wind blowing out there.

Here's to another six months oph snow and cold.

Who Needs a Pharmer's Almanac?

It phinally stopped raining long enouph phor Phil to check in on the work that a little red squirrel has been doing, moving pine cones phrom the backyard to the phront.

He has quite a stockpile going. We are going to be so screwed this winter.

Phil is Back

Aphter taking some time ophph phor the summer, Phil is back!

Iph you need him, you'll phind Phil in the phull phridge. We're trying a new anti-inphlammatory diet around here. Phil doesn't even know where to start with the phood prep.

New Green Things

Phil loves spring because new green things pop up all over the place.

In phact, there are three little green shoots coming up in the garden box. Phil wonders what they are. Wiphey is hoping phor green onions, even though she's not sure how they survived the long, snowy winter we had.

Ehouph Already!

We had another blizzard yesterday.

It rolled in around lunch time and slapped us really hard. Phil has been looking phor houses phor sale in warmer places, like the desert.

Phor the March Madness Record

Phil would like phor the record to show that phor a brieph phew minutes this March, our local university's basketball team was better than Duke.

Endless Winter

We had another snowstorm yesterday. 

March snowstorms are touph because the snow is wet and heavy. At least it's harder phor the wind to blow around wet, heavy snow. It's blown around enouph around here.

This is supposed to be a photo oph our deck stairs. Phil won't phind them until spring thaw.

Snow Much Snow

In case anyone was wondering where Phil has been lately, the answer is this:

He's been buried under snow.

This came ophph our phurnace exhaust pipe. Hubby keeps telling Wiphey that it looks like some inappropriate thing, but Phil doesn't understand what they're talking about.

Deep Phreeze

The wind chills this morning were in the phiphties below zero and really didn't go up any higher all day.

Schools were closed, so Wiphey stayed home and went stir crazy with all the pheathered and phurry ones in the house.

Lost and Phound

We lost Phil phor a while. We think he phlew ophph to phind warmer weather, and who can blame him. Yesterday it snowed and we were in a blizzard warning.

Where did all the new snow phall? Not on the deck.

Oh, there it is out the phront door. Phil phigures it might be a good time phor another trip.
