This morning I woke up to thick fog, 33 degrees and freezing rain and sleet. Yesterday the temperatures were in the upper forties and tomorrow we will be seeing temperatures in the mid fifties. What is going on? The poor crocus are seriously unhappy, you can see it in the pictures. The poor dears are shaking and trembling from the cold, what’s up with that? The fog here is always thick and in my opinion pretty cool, I never mind fog, I however mind freaky sleet and freezing rain coming down on my delicate blossoms. You should have heard the ladies at weight class, they were quite unhappy. They all asked to cut our session short because the freezing rain was getting worse and worse and they were getting nervous about the drive home. We all live in the hills, so there is no escaping going up or down and with slick roads, it can be quite challenging.

If the weather wasn’t acting so weirdly, I wouldn’t be writing about it. Better to write about crazy weather than a certain crazy North Korean dictator. He is off his rocker, that one is. Like I said much better to think of more mundane things especially right before the weekend.

Two days of freezing rain in Blandford

This is what my world looks like today, an icy, winter wonderland. It has been like this since yesterday, non-stop freezing rain which makes walking a treacherous sport. Jack isn’t very happy with the state of the weather these past two days. I’m not thrilled either but what can you do? We have to go outside to do our business don’t we Jack? When I calmly explain it to him, the look on his face is priceless. I bet that he wishes that he can use indoor plumbing like the rest of us. I’m sure that many dog owners would be fine with that evolutionary tweak, enabling dogs to figure out how to sit on the toilet and flush afterwards. Can you imagine? Gone would be the 6:00 a.m wake up to walk the dog outside in the cold rain, snow or icy winds. No more 9:00 p.m call to walk the dog in the same freezing rain, snow or icy wind. Alas, the evolutionary tweak is only wishful thinking, it could never happen.

Until tomorrow, Jack and I will do our best to not fall in a heap while navigating the icy paths around Blandford. I am going to build a fire in the living room so that we can at least be cozy when we come back in.
