It's Cold Out
It's cold and windy. We did some snow out of the predicted storm. But everyone seems to want to be in.

Snow Ball
On really cold, snowy mornings the best thing to do
is to stuff your favorite ball full of snow and bring it in the house!

Before The Storm
The wind blew like crazy yesterday. It blew my glasses right off my face. It also
blew Missing Miss Rosie home. She was still here this morning and got penned with the sheep and horse.
The sky this morning was pretty good. It's a pre-storm sunrise.
You can see the Magpie house and it's front door in this next one.
The weather service thinks we might get 5 - 10 inches of snow in the next couple of days. Glad I went to Billings today!

Sunday Dinner
Today was dinner in the Snowy Mountains with friends Irwin and Loretta.
Loretta bakes a great apple pie! There was wonderful ham
and potatoes , carrots, cranberries, and lots of good visiting.
We left a bit of ham for Copper.
And we let the deer nibble in the front yard.
The view is spectacular.
And there was a cloud with just a bit of a rainbow attached.
We had a wonderful afternoon. Thanks Irwin and Loretta!

Rambling Rosie Wanders
She is giving me grey hair! Miss Rosie wandered off again, the first part of the week and this time has stayed away. I looked for her Wednesday. I looked for her Thursday.
With help from The Gus.
He looked, and looked some more.
Wait a sec Mom!
I'm on it!
Here, Mom! Right here!
Uh, Gus. That is not looking much like a llama.
Mom! Over here. Hurry! Mom!
In here!
Um, Gus. I wonder if you might be on a mouse trail?
sigh. a dog tries to help....
We did not find Rosie on Thursday. There was no Rosie at breakfast time this morning, Saturday.
We looked some more. We checked the upper east pasture. We came down. We looked by the river. We thought we might be seeing a track. Into the west meadow. A shape with wiggly ears on the far side of the trees.
ROSIE!
munch, munch. hmmmmm.
Rosie. Look at you! You are a mess! There are leaves all over you. What's on earth....
Tree leaf camo. mmhhmm. Makes me invisible. Horse can't find me.
Rosie, we are going to have to brush all that junk out of your coat eventually.
Hrmmmrm! Catch me if you can! Hmmmmham.
I have one Milk Bone llama cookie in my pocket. She comes right over, eager for a treat. Snatches the cookie from my fingers and..
turns her back on me! Something about a really tasty bit of leaf over there..
And here I've been thinking she had become a midnight snack for a bunch of rowdy, flea bitten, bad mannered coyotes!
No, last I looked she wasn't home. sigh.

Bright Sunshine
Lots of bright sun today.
We need sunglasses!
In spite of the chilly wind, it was a great day for a ride.
Can you see the eagle nest?
It's been there for years and they use it most years.
I didn't notice the pigeons on the top of this rock until I looked at the computer image.

Happy New Year
On the day before New Year
I got rail road cars and a shinning Lewis.
The cars are still here this evening and may be here for days. I don't mind. I like trains.
And Gus played with one of his cats.
And we had dinner (lunch) with lots of people in Billings and had a wonderful afternoon.
I went to bed. Early.
Today....
Lewis helped me wait for the sun to come up...
which it did
quit nicely. It's a good omen to have sun first thing on the first day of the year.
There is snow in the Snowy Mountains and pink clouds above.
Miss Rosie the Llama went on a little walk about two days ago. Robert the horse just pitched a fit. He wanted his llama...now! Not that it did any good because she didn't show up until....
this morning. I have no idea why this photo is so grainy. Nor do I know why Miss Rosie is sort of messy looking. She is not talking. Robert is just glad that she is back. He could have gone with her. I think she promised to spit on him if he did. Robert is not fond of llama spit.
When Dan got here this morning
we fed the cows then came in and had coffee while the dogs had breakfast. Gus left some.
Miss Max went into his crate and finished it for him. Good Gus. It's good to share and not growl or snap.
We went to Billings to have dinner with Dan's sister, Jean and her husband, Howard.
Jean has a lap full
of Sissy. Sissy is a very fine cat who started out as a barn kitten here.
Sissy thinks she's pretty fine too.
Happy New Year.
