SSSSSSSoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn - !!!!!!

Howdy There Pupper and Purr pals....One week of January left and this old gal has survived another January.... It's been a stormy,cold,windy,snowy,bitter month! This is the 3rd. harsh winter in a row for here on the south central North Dakota Prairie. So far, we've had only a couple nice days this month.
After All the Bitter Stuff...if, it Hits the Teens, it's a Day of Great Celebration around here.

This last week of January they have forcasted a January thaw....I'd said, "Let me see it, 1st. then I'll believe you weather humans!" Well, they are still saying it.... I'll keep you posted! This is a big state with many,many square miles. The climate from East to West and North to South varies alot in any given day. However, we are suppose to see the 20's this week.

I'm dragging my old hiney out to the Patio and sun bathing
...if, the Sun does Shine! Maybe, I can blacken up some of that hair that is turning awful white???? I look black in my pictures, but any hair that falls out: the last 1" is silver gray to snow white....Ugh!!!! What's a Gal to do? Hey, Clariol lady: do ya have Ebony Black??? I think, I'd need a gallon or so.
