We’ve all been there. We start the weekend off full of excitement of the possibilities of what adventures lay ahead. But slowly thoughts of Monday start creeping in, and you begin to feel diminished. Throw in the time change for spring, and you may feel a little down today. Such was the case for my […]
We had another late night neighborly visit. After Tuesday night’s storm we awoke to find strange prints in front of the house. However, from inside the house it was difficult to see where they came from or what direction they were headed. Would you believe Mom accused me of hiding a friend upstairs in the […]
March can be a trying time. We look forward to the start of spring, while also still dealing with the remnants of winter. Take for example this week where we received 5″ of new snow on Tuesday night, temperatures near 50ºF (10ºC) yesterday, and the promise of more snow on Friday. A rollercoaster ride of […]
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to slow down and join me for a winter idyll idle. Shall we begin? Take a deep breath, and slowly exhale. Feel the sun on your face. Roll over and listen to the icicles dripping onto the metal rain gutters. Take a big stretch. Cool […]
We’re all adults here. I’m not sure why Dad and Mr. Skunk had to raise a big stink. Sure it happened fast. Everyone was caught off guard. But neither Dad nor Mr. Skunk handled it very well. He was headed out for a night of carousing. Mr. Skunk that is, not Dad. Dad was just […]

Well now it all makes sense! I had my suspicions that Angel Chuck Billy got distracted and wandered off leaving his snow making machine pointed at us. Now I have proof as to why! This Saturday will be a rare planetary parade, followed by a total lunar eclipse on Tuesday. I’m certain Angel Chuck Billy […]
As I survey the snow in my yard, I realize how selfish I am! I shouldn’t keep all this wonderful snow for myself. I should share it! Therefore back by popular demand, is this special offer, last available 8 years ago!*** Snowmen for Sale (March 14, 2018) Dogs, are you tired of making snow angels […]
I’m dedicating today’s song parody to all the humans who are getting a little crazy from shoveling after yesterday’s blizzard, and to all the dogs who can’t wait to get out and play in it. Therefore today I present to you my take on Ozzy’s classic, “Crazy Train,” from his iconic album the Blizzard of […]
Once again I found myself watching the Winter Olympics and daydreaming about what might have been. You may think of me as a ruff and ready rock star, but within me beats the heart of a snow dancer with Olympic dreams! Ok, so technically there’s no such thing as “snow dancing.” However, if you’ve seen […]
