Worth the early look

Good morning, sun. Getting up first to let our cherished rescue mutt out the back door for her first gotta of the day has its perks if I get my eyes open and focused. The sun peeking over the back tree line to start the mid-January day reminded me of the wonders of early winter…

Tracking the dog

Working her way out. Here’s how I can tell the marching direction of our cherished rescue mutt as she escapes the back deck and heads toward the back fence.

Snow on the side

A beaten path. Our cherished rescue mutt appreciated that the alcove allowed her some leeway from the big snow. The pesky wind let some of the white stuff in nevertheless.

The other angle

Waiting for the icicles. More proof that I cleared just enough to open our back door to allow the cherished rescue mutt to escape that way.

Big in the back

Got that door open. I finally worked my away around with a shovel to clear the path to opening our back door. Our cherished rescue mutt was certainly glad for another way out to the backyard.

Meanwhile, at the kids’ house

Good for the job. A mile down the road at Elisabeth and George Three’s house, he takes care of their property with a great snowblower. He had lots to clear with this big January snow, and noted just how much was in their driveway with a yardstick.
