March Snow! .... Really!

We woke this morning to snow, real snow.
(Great, today is our 960 student Biology class final exam!!)

The trees are already budding out,...

I decided to get the boys outside in the morning
before what could be an "interesting" day later.

Uschi checked out the snow,...

Look at the size of that snow flake dad,...

Vladi stretched his legs,...

and briefly explored,...

Soon, U & V were ready to head in,... "for breakfast",...

T on the other hand,... scampered off into the snow,...

Handsome Tanji had lots to see,...

High Water

Over the past few days we have gotten a lot of rain, which
has resulted in some flooding, road closures, and OSU closing.

No worries, we flood in Oregon, and we are barely at flood stage.

Hey Vladi do you want to go play in the puddles? --- No,...

How about you Tanji,... do you want to go out? -- No

Ohhhh, don't even ask me,...

So, Lesley and I headed out.

Just down the road,... to where we knew things would be wet,...

Out there by the second set of cars, the water is flowing
across the road,... we ventured out (attempting to get to FedEx)
but the water was deeper and faster than we felt comfortable
with and didn't want to qualify for a Darwin Award so we retreated,...

Back across the flooding Mary's river,...

Past our neighbor's flooded bottom field,
(we are up above the little ridge) so it would
take a lot for flood waters to get to us,...
but we do have standing water in the "yard" due to
being flat and on a "nice" clay soil.

What did you get me when you were out?,...

Funny you should ask,...

We got you a "Baby-Cat-Cake",....
that is what we call this cake,...

A frozen pizza in the oven and a "play-day",...
what a good way to spend a rainy day.

Snow Bengals

Winter weather has arrived.

Icicles hanging from the roofs.

I want to come out and play.

Snow is fun.

Yeah!!!

Wooooo

Hooooo

T-grrr headed out to explore,...

After walking on the thinly frozen pond,
and having his back feet break through,...
he headed home.

After a quick evaluation and dry off,...

Long-legged T

Headed back out,...

Under close supervision.

Kaaaatyyyy, are you warm in there?

My nose is getting cold.

Avalanche.

Through the woods and home for T.

Vladi was enjoying the snow.

How could we choose?

I don't know,...

Our little snow explored.

Yeah!

Vladi zoomed,...

We could tell that his trajectory was
towards the pond, so we ran after him.

V didn't even break stride as he,...

Ran across the pond,...!!!!

His front legs and body stayed on top but his
back feet broke though with ever step.

Bad Bengie !!!,... I didn't want to have to
jump in the pond again, but I was ready.

Vladi went home.

USCHIiiiii

Here I come,...

Everyone is inside,... warming up and

Bathing.

Only our foot prints stayed outside.

Happy Daylight Savings/Gutter Test Day

We woke this morning to

A pile of feathers at the head of the bed,...
(and a dead bird, we don't know who's gift it was)

Breakfast time!!

I'm sleeping in today,...
(U found a cave in a pile of "clean" towels)

The rain

Started coming down.

The shed stayed dry,... and

Bright,...

The 175ft of gutters, all draining back to a single downspout.

Worked well,...


Refilling the pond in just a few minutes.
(click the image to run the video)

Back inside,...

Vladi watches for birdies visiting the kennel.

Occasionally, birds visit the kennel.
The vast majority wisely leave quickly.
