    I heard that she's doing better. I didn't go to the barn yesterday. It just seemed too cold. She wore one of Penny's blankets Sunday night, and the boy told me that it seemed to help. Today is sunny & cold. I have to tutor later, so I'll go to the barn tomorrow. Last night, I cleaned both of my...

    I'm glad you didn't get in an accident. Be careful, 0mg!

    Terry, it's good to hear from you. Sorry about the bills. They can be depressing. You need checks like the ones I have, with "The Scream" on them.

    Awsum, you mean Queens in NYC, right? NYC isn't like the rest of the country. It's more expensive there. Rents are really crazy and getting crazier. I think Ithaca is more stable. When the bottom fell out of the housing market and real estate got cheap, prices never fell much here. Ithaca Agway...

    Local stores are losing business because of online stores. I really do want to support my local stores, but if the price is horrendously different for the same thing, I'll order online. The supplement I want to start giving Penny is $75.95 (shipping calculated in) for a 10 lb pail from Amazon...

    Good morning, all. It's still snowing very lightly here, but the guy plowed the driveway, I moved my car over, and he came back to do my spot. Yay! Sometimes, he doesn't return. Here's a view out my back door just a few minutes ago.

    Tonight's photo doesn't have any snow in it -- I saw enough of it today. Actually, when I just went to sweep the porch once again, it was lovely. The flakes falling are really tiny, and they sparkle like little stars in the porch light. The cat went out, and when he came back, he had little...

    Yes, Awsum, usually they predict a snowstorm will be worse than it turns out to be, but this time, here, it's a lot more snow than they told us. I just went out to sweep the porch, though it's still snowing very lightly, and I think there must be about 6 inches of new snow on top of the old...

    It's still snowing out. It must be more than the maximum 2 inches predicted, since it's been snowing steadily all day. Tomorrow morning I'll have to get out bright & early to move my car for the guy who plows the driveway.

    I decided not to venture out. Driving would be possible, but it might have been scary.

    It's been snowing here all morning. Do I go tutor today? I just checked, and there are no school closings. The weather reprot says 1 to 2 inches. I can probably make it, but I guess I'll wait another hour or so to be sure.

    Good night, everyone. Tonight's photo is another icy waterfall.

    Awsum, the storm sounds bad. We've missed most of what you got, though it snowed a little the last couple of days. Just enough to freshen the snow already on the ground. I chuckled over the snow shovels being with the lost socks.

    I just heard back from Jasmine's owner. He said the vet thought it might be tying up, and he asked if he could borrow one of Penny's blankets, since the vet thought blanketing her tonight might help. Of course, I said yes and told him which blanket to use. I also emailed him suggesting a...

    I just got back from the barn. It was a cold ride at 20º F, but I was bundled up and stayed fairly warm. We only walked around the fields for about 45 minutes, and just near the end, Penny started to relax. She was pretty hyper, spooking, though not violently, at lots of little things...

    Penny just had a mini-adventure. I got a call a short while ago from the mom of the family where Penny is boarded. She was taking the horses in, and Penny got tangled and stuck in some vines in a section of their little paddock that was never cleared. There was a branch across her hind legs that...

    You can still buy it online, though. See http://www.amazon.com/Octagon-Purpose-Laundry-Soap-Colgate/dp/B000GCOLQ6 for instance.
