Mornings With Moula

It was supposed to be a rainy morning but the clouds went away and  the sky was blue and the air warmed up enough to start melting away the mountains of snow. It was almost like spring  outside. Mum was busy chopping ice to  make it melt easier. And we helped by entertaining her. Izzy stopped to ask if she could help get the ice and snow off the cover of the pool but Mum just rolled her eyes at her. We are now reminded that indeed, better weather is just around the corner. Even the squirrels and little birds are busy darting here and there. All of the darkness is slowly melting away. I can't wait-can you? Ciao for now my friends...  

In between the ice and then the snow storms, we were lounging outside. Margot had gone home so we were a bit sad ad quiet. The fire was still burning even though Spring is right around the corner. Ansd in the morning we wait patiently for our "beans". That's what Mum calls our daily vitamins. It's quiet again here but I suppose not for long. I can feel that there is impending chaos to come. But for now, we are quiet and getting on with our lives. Waiting for the ice and rain to go away Ciao for now my friends...  

Dusty has had this ty since before she was born. So many of Mia's puppies have slept through the middle . When she finds it again she loves to share. Good thing Margot is here to help her. They pass it back and forth to each other and play very gently. The doughnut hole makes it easy to hold onto. And when they are done, someone else takes their place with their own toy to cherish. Ciao for now my friends...  

It's hard work playing in the snow all the time. We value our quiet time inside and together. When Dusty and Margot are exhausted is when they can sit together quietly. The rest of us are very good at quiet time. Of course we will get up for a treat or two. And we can quietly watch out the window at the little birds. Quiet time for Mia is asking for her Benebone to be filled. I suppose that would keep her quiet. Ciao for now my friends...  

One day the sun came out and  the air warmed and the mountains of snow glistened. We watched  out the kitchen window. Margot was out playing on the mountains of snow cemented to the back patio. Then Mum started to chop and lift and clear the heavy ice and snow. We were all thankful for her efforts. The sun melted the bits and pieces left by the shovel. It was a tough job. We thanked Mum for clearing our patio so expertly so we could play or rest easy. Even Margot was happy to see the snow disappear  Ciao for now my friends...
