There is a definite theme to Monablog these days and it's about snow. Today as the temps begin to rise into the upper 40's, more of the frosty white snow is melting at the front of the house. That is due to the fact our home faces south....ish. The backyard is still heavy laden with snow and ice. The backyard is so comfortable and nice in the spring, summer and fall months but in the winter it is the last place for snow and ice to loose their icy cold grip.
So there was an earthquake around 4:00 am about a 180 miles away. Several have commented on social media from our area that they felt the quake. Uh, I slept right through it yet if the fan produces on minor little squeaky sound, I'm alert, awake and ready to solve the problem of the newly detected squeak. The past few nights Buddy has had a difficult time settling in for the night so that means going to bed a little earlier to still get the same amount of sleep.
Last night I was watching the show Leah Remini does on A and E and an interesting statement was made by one of her guests she interviewed. Talking about what had been discussed or promised and the woman replies, it was all lies...because you can control with lies. Wow! That is a very true statement. The liar is depending on silence between the parties being lied to or nothing being said and then backing off if promises were made when confronted. So I guess initial lies do control but when the truth is revealed, all the control is gone.

Oh Thursday, still snow on the ground and pushed into the corners of parking lots but it was a day to get out and about. Not that I had really needed to go to the grocery store cause you know winter preparedness is easy from all the years of hurricane preparedness. But you do start running low on favorite kind of stuff and beside that, it just felt good to experience the world other than the porch, front yard and backyard.
This summer a female cardinal was in love with herself and she spent a whole lot of time admiring herself and then challenging that beauty to a fight except it all happened at the truck window or rear view mirror. Now, almost winter and a young mockingbird is on the hunt to rid his neighborhood of this other mockingbird, only it's him. He tries to feed the reflection and then fights it. There are scratch marks on the windows so I will need to see if I can repair those marks.
Riley stayed really close today. While she ate and then while I worked in the garage. I tried twice to grab her but she is too quick. She let me stand very close while she ate this morning. Since Buddy loves the treats morning munch, today instead of the regular treats, I gave Riley some of that morning munch and she liked it as much as Buddy.

The ongoing blog post... We were awakened by the sound of icy, hard packed snow releasing its grip on the second floor roof and pounding into the ground and deck below. Wow, what a good morning wake up! Scared us at first cause it sounded like troops had landed. Several times this morning the big wallop sound happens but now we aren't quite as jumpy over the noise. It is raining and finally the snow is melting. That puts us under a flood advisory...the times and the weathers, they are a changing.
This feels like a late morning jammie kind of day. I'm decked out in festive Christmas pajamas with houses, trees and churches surrounded by snow. Hmmm....snow is the theme for the week, in all things.
