Right now, The Lakes Region of New Hampshire is under about 3 inches of hard, thick, ice. It’s the kind of ice that prevents one from driving easily up ones driveway, or even from walking across the patio. Why even the poor dogs are having trouble. Lili went running out this morning and went to turn to go around the corner and her body kept going straight.
Greta went out, and the poor old girl kept slipping and falling. I just know that tonight she will be one very sore old lady.
Arnie and Anneliese seem to do a little better, as I have allowed their nails to grow out a bit just for this reason. Still they do not like this at all.
I watched the morning news with full attention, trying to ascertain when we might have a melt off. Unfortunately it does not look like any time soon.
Yesterday, it was amazingly beautiful, as the ice fell and turned our trees into ice castles. Today, well, not so much.
Still I like to remain positive, so what can I say about the “Ice Age” of the New Hampshire winter? Well should my freezer break down, I have plenty of room on my screened in porch to place my ice cream!
