(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: More snow?!

Yesterday

He doesn't look very impressed with the pile of snow my little sister put on his head, does he?


Today





P.S. What do you think of our new look?
Funny enough I changed the blog's look because I didn't want a snowy header anymore (I couldn't change just the header, once I got going I couldn't stop until it was all changed, haha), I wanted a fresh look. So I revamped the place during yesterday's snow storm.
I have good timing, I know.






April showers bring May flowers

Sunday night we had some loud, crazy, kinda scary, wind.
Then Monday it rained.
Today it snowed.

Yup, more snow!

Not much, just a light dusting, but that didn't matter, Petal was still excited. 

She kept leading me to the leashes, barking at me and then nudging the leashes with her nose.

Who could say no to that?

Not me, that's for sure.


Today looks like this.

So I bundled up and took them outside.
Despite all the layers I wore, I still nearly froze (the wind was ice cold).
But it was worth it to watch them race around the yard.




Petal and Penny played "circle around the weird box thing that's been here way longer than any of us have!"
Petal won, as always. Penny cried, as always.
She's still not as fast as Petal.


Ignore the weeds. I gotta get those pulled.

They also played fetch...

I swear Petal knows how to skip. ;P



Okay, so Penny played fetch, Petal just ran along beside her.
Petal says it's only fair to let Penny win at something. ;)


Look at those ears!

And what did Lassie do, you ask?
He poked around the yard a little, peeing here and there, but mostly he just followed me around, enjoying the wind,

and the camera. ;)

Now I'm ready for a nap.

Black and White Sunday: Petal was a snow princess for a day

It didn't last very long.

Wordless Wednesday: Her prey

Lassie's pretty well camouflaged there, isn't he?





Wordless Wednesday: Snow much snow





Wordless Wednesday: Attack!





Wordless Wednesday: Missing the snow





My Collie Can Fly

'Cause she's a superhero.

Wordless Wednesday: Me and Petal







Fresh Snow!

It snowed here off and on (mostly on) from Sunday night to Monday evening.
Which has been absolutely wonderful because the rain we had over the weekend washed all our snow away and made everything dreadfully muddy. Not fun.
But now we have a fresh blanket of beautiful, clean snow!



We had lots of fun in it, too.

I got a video of these two romping in the snow yesterday, making the first tracks in the fresh snow.
I will warn you that the video is all over the place. It was snowing (you probably won't be able to tell from the video, but it was lightly snowing the whole time we were out there) and even though there was this cloudy haze, it was bright and I couldn't really tell what I was recording, haha.
Thank goodness YouTube can stabilize shaky videos, or else you'd probably feel like you're spinning in circles on a boat in a storm.

Anyway. YouTube greatly improved it, but it's still all over the place, I'm sorry about that.
But you do get to see how crazy Petal is in the snow! :)



That barking that sounds like it's coming from a distance is from our neighbor's Border Collie cross from across the street.

And, of course, just minutes after I turned off the camera and stuck it back in my pocket, Lassie goes sniffing around under a tall bush and Petal whips by and knocks a ton of snow all over him. By the time I got the camera back out and ready to go, Lassie had shaken it all off.
It was so funny though. Lassie looked like he was made out of snow.

How has your weather been? Have you been enjoying snow? Rain? Sunshine? 

Black and White Sunday: Squinty

I was very amused to find these two making the exact same face. Goobers.

As you may have noticed, I gave the blog another make over.
Simply because I love giving the blog make overs.

Chasin' Critters

While we were out in the yard the other day Petal found a mystery critter (I never saw it, but I suspect it was a mouse) crawling beneath the leaves and twigs along the fence. She was being far too noisy and crazy to actually catch whatever it was. Petal is not stealthy or quiet when it comes to chasing down little friends. She is, however, very entertaining to watch. I snapped a dozen pictures (literally, so have fun scrolling ;)) before the camera battery died (lucky for you!).













She went at it for another minute or two (I think he, whatever he was, was having a good time teasing the obnoxious dog that didn't stand a chance catching him) before we went back inside and she still looks for him when we go outside, but she hasn't seen him since.

As for what Lassie was doing as Petal stomped through leaves, snow, and twigs, thinking she was oh so sneaky— he was watching Petal with a look that said, "This is why Collies don't hunt."
Unless you count hunting down an abandoned cheeseburger. My Collies can do that no problem. ;)
