THE SNOW CAPER

POST # 531

Just in time for the winter solstice, plenty of the white stuff has arrived, here on the farm just west of Duncan.  We are trapped at the moment, as the driveway is covered in the white stuff, and hopefully it will be plowed out later today.  We, in this case include the owners of the farm, as they are stuck here with me, and the two other critters that occupy this place.  Logan, the furball was also here last year, but since my last visit, a new bonehead has arrived on the scene.  Her name is Caper, and she just turned one year old about a month ago.  Needless to say, she has plenty of energy.

SNOW CAPER

Caper seems to be much happier with the snow than the resident humans, but in my experience, that seems to be the case with most of the bonheads that I have come to know over the years.  Mind you, they don't have to shovel the stuff, so perhaps that is part of the attraction for them.

Most of this snow arrived in the past twenty four hours, and with any luck, that might be the end of things for now, but at this time of year, one never really knows for sure.

And as I write these words, the person who owns the snow plow has just arrived, and is getting the driveway cleared, so that we can come and go.  The owners had originally planned to depart yesterday, but they will head out tomorrow instead.  That is, as long as we don't get another dump of snow overnight.

After they depart, it will just be the three of us, to keep each other amused.  Caper takes up most of my attention, and Logan is happy to just hang out in the living room, sleeping near the fireplace.  

Here is one more photo of Caper hanging out with The Thougthful Wanderer.  She's not quite sure about this position.

I'll be here until early January, so I'm sure there will be a few more things to talk about by this time next week.  It would be nice, if some of the snow is gone by then.

grateful for every breath,

Paul
