Cleon's Visit

The winter storm named Cleon has been visiting our area. The snow began yesterday afternoon and has continued all day today. They say Cleon will be here until midnight.
My Dearly Beloved shoveled a path out to feed the birds this morning.
Of course Annie had to be out to help him. 
She had to keep watch in case a rascally squirrel decided to attack. 
She tries to communicate with the squirrels. "Don't be afraid furry little beast. I wouldn't hurt you." I don't think she meant that last part. 
She sat patiently in the snow for some time. The birds come in to the feeders. They know who she is after. They also know to stay out of the way if a squirrel is about. 
Did I help with the snow removal.  Of course I did. My DB took a picture of my hat as I was removing my boots. You can see snow accumulation on my hat. It hasn't stopped coming down. Luckily it isn't all ice. 
I hope you all are staying warm and safe.

  1. Your hat was very impressive. I really need to invest in some nicer headgear, or at least some with personality. I have been wearing a ratty old gray number that should have been tossed some time ago. Best of luck shovelling, I know that drill.

    As the hubby says, lift with your legs, not your back.

  2. Have been wondering about Annie. She sure reminds me of our Annie. She too keeps the squirrels away but not the birds.. You got way more snow then we did. Ours will be gone in a day from patches once it quits snowing. We usually don't get much snow. So ours is unusual. Don't strain that back.

  3. When I saw your hat, it reminded me of the hat Frosty the Snowman wore! Here in northeast Mississippi, we are on the southern edge of the storm. Thankfully the rain stopped as the temps fell below freezing.
    Have a happy and safe week-end!

  4. I've been wondering how you were faring in this storm, Lisa. Cleon missed us entirely, preferring to go further south--sorry. Oh, Annie looks so happy in the snow! But those ornery squirrels better watch out:) Sophie would love to have some snow here, but I'm not sure Frank will know what to do--the little dusting of snow we had a few weeks ago really bewildered him.

    I laughed at the hat--you were surely the best dressed snow shoveler on the block:)

  5. Very pretty! Why was the storm called Cleon? I missed that.

  6. Phillip, the Weather Channel named this storm Cleon. The big storm out west that is heading this way is named Dion. I hope Dion keeps all the ice to himself this time.

  7. Looks like you had some storm. It missed us, which is good as we don't have a dog to help with the shoveling.

  8. Oh, man! I love the way it looks, but I tellya, I don't miss the snows that I shoveled in Connecticut. OK, I miss 'em, but not in a bad way. Enjoy your wonderland.

  16. I love your hat. I recently wrote about my Transylvanian shepherd's hat on my Blog and tried to get people to show me their hats. But nobody would. But then I don't suppose anyone has such a stylish one as yours.
    Oh dear all that snow!

  17. Dear Lisa - I feel for you with the winter storm (when did they start naming them??-lol). We received a portion of one of those storms not sure if it was Cleon or Deon?? Hope you are dug out by now. We are to get 3-6 inches Sat. again- so winter is still with us.

  18. Oh, you had way more snow than we did. I want to see you in that hat. Love it.

  19. Oh wow, that's quite the storm. I love a good blizzard myself, wild weather seems so cool to me, strange but true.

    Your dog is so cute!

  20. Love your hat!

    The snow is beautiful, but always makes for extra chores. Nice that Annie helps out! :)

  21. We've had two big snow storms in the last week or so, which means nice deep snow cover. Tricky getting out to the hen house these days, but very beautiful.

  22. Cleon visited here too. Now, someone else is here with ice and possibly snow. What a winter this has been, and it's only December. Lisa, I hope you have a Merry Christmas my friend. Tell Annie we say hi from Oklahoma.~~Dee

  23. That hat is the best! Way to do winter in style :)) Had no idea the storm had a name, thought only hurricanes were named. This winter has been something hasn't it? Barely a few days in and we're up to our knees. My arms are aching already just thinking about the shoveling.

  24. I didn't dig out a path I just trudged through the snow.

  25. Hi Lisa, I like your hat with the layer of snow on it! Annie looks like she doesn't mind all that cold snow one bit! I hope you're staying warm and cozy.
