Enjoying Our Snow

I, Mitch, got to go adventuring with mom this morning.  She said walkies were too dangerous on the black ice roads so we stuck to our snow-covered yard. We have a bridge that leads over our brook and across to the small pond area.  It's fun over here!


 It was in the teens and the wind chill was keeping the temperature right around zero. 
This water sure looks cold!
When Mitch came home, it was my turn for a walkie. 
Just to let you know - mom did not make my coat.  Katie and Sparky's mom did.  Mom appliqued the Airedales on there but my beautiful coat was made by Miss Linda, who is Katie and Sparky's mom. 

 Mom and I checked out the water fowl.   Everybody looks happy for these super cold temps!
That crazy looking contraption is our bubbler.  It keeps the water defrosted so that the ducks, geese and swans have open water to drink and swim in and it's also for their protection just in case a fox comes to visit. 
 Even the black swans are happy!  Dad says that they stick their long necks in the snow pile and come out with it all over their faces - just like we do!

 This is leftover pizza. 
Last night, we had company and when the table was cleared, somebody placed the leftover pizza in its original box, too close to the edge of the kitchen counter. 
You know where we're going with this, right. 
I, Mr Mitch - the non-countersurfer, had the time of my life helping myself to a whole piece of pizza - all to myself! 
Maggie wasn't even in the kitchen so she had no clue that a robbery was even taking place!
 Mom forgave me.  I got a pizza bone!
 And I, Miss Maggie, have to tell you that breakfast in bed never tasted so good with pizza bits sprinkled on top of my meal!  I may have turned fussy about a lot of foods but pizza is definitely not one of them!
So until next time..............

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

  2. What great pictures! Zero degrees doesn't sound fun to be out in, but YOU, Mitchy boy, look like you are having a great time!

    We're glad you enjoyed your pizza bits, Miss Maggie! Miss Linda and your mom did a GREAT job on your coat!

  5. At least you got walked. Dadaw and Gretchen conspired against me - Sissy - and no walks happened Saturday OR Sunday. Dadaw said it was too cold and they'd sprayed chemical on the road, and...

    Hrmph.

  15. I think Mitch was just a bit hungry after his big walk in those frigid temps and needed a bit more sustenance. It never hurts when the silly humans put the food so close to the edge and within reach.

  17. Hi Maggie and Mitch, all of our snow has been washed away by the rain. And it's still raining out. It's kind of yucky out but that's okay. The snow sure looks beautiful around your house. Pizza is great the next day.

  18. Mmmm! I love pizza too!

  19. Lovely post, M&M! I was fascinated by your 'bubbler' in the middle of the pond. What a fabulous idea. Your white winter wonderland is so far from my own 'African' reality - so when I see posts like this, I absorb every item. Thank you. Glad you got some yummy pizza...think we'll have that for supper.
    Stay warm, my buddies.

  21. What a score!!!Illicit pizza.

    We went to the duck pond this morning and all the ducks were asleep, but the black swans were swimming around. Your birds must be tough to swim in that cold water.

    XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy

    Our word verification is 'boatin' We think that would be warmer than swimmin'

  30. Your snow is so pretty. Mitch, we wouldn't mind at all walking around your beautiful yard. We thought it was so funny to hear that the swan stick their heads in the snow. Wish we had some here:(

    Pizza - yummers - wish we had some of that too.

    Maggie, your coat is so lovely, perfect for you.

  31. I love your pond and how you keep it ice-free in the winter. Mitch - do you mean that you don't swim in it all winter long???? I'm surprised!

    Way to go with the pizza!!!! Our R is a counter-surfer wannabe. He is SO jealous. I'm glad that Maggie likes her pizza too!

    Good news all around!

  33. Howdy Maggie and Mitch, great snow photos and we love you have a bubbler for your birds. Fab.

    Well done Mitch, er we mean, oh dear, naughty boy, fancy taking pizza from off the bench. We would never dream of attempting that (hehehe). Of course we realise that you were only attempting to get some for dear Maggie. Good boy. Take care all. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
