I started to take Danny out this morning but had to shovel the walk so he could get out. It had snowed some more overnight and drifted in. He likes walking in the snow. The path for the walk was over his head and all he could see was white walls until he got out to the driveway. It was quite. Not much was stirring except for birds.
When I got back with Danny, I went to work shoveling out the car. The snowplow had plowed it in. I don’t know why he couldn’t have shoved the snow in my empty parking spot. He shoved it right in front of my car. It took a half hour to chop and shovel that out of the way. Then I had to clean off my car again.
I got ready to go to church (Methodist) but thought I’d better call first. They canceled the service because of the snow. Catholic churches are usually always open but the service was at 9am and I missed it.
We got about two feet of snow. The same is for Vineland so when I go there, I’ll have move shoveling to do. I got most of my Christmas gifts wrapped or in the little gift bags. I have a couple more things to pick up but one is at the Rite-Aid and the other is a gift card.
Cheryl and Ed are coming over later to pick me up and go to dinner. I’ll walk Danny before they get here. He’s been sleeping on my lap. When I walked him around the block, there is one section where the road doesn’t go all the way around. There is a filed between the roads but footprints smashed the snow down a little and Danny went bounding through until he got too tired to keep hoping over the snow. I carried him to the road. I should have carried him sooner because his fur got full of snowballs. What a mess he was. He had snow on the bottom of his paw and kept sitting down trying to bite it off his back feet. He then got snow pack into the fur on his butt. Anyway, he’s been sleeping the rest of the afternoon. I think if I laid down, I’d sleep, too.
News from the Vorlon Wife.
We have had some snow, but surely nothing like what you're experiencing. You just can't keep up with it when it just keeps snowing. The Farmer's Almanac predicted a tough winter and it looks like their prediction is right on. You and Danny be very careful when you're out and about. Little Danny Boy could tunnel in someplace and not be able to find his way out. It's neat that he loves the snow so much though.
The pictures they're showing on TV of the eastern part of the U.S. look just awful. One lady was commenting that she was stuck on a major highway for 9 hours. That can become a very dangerous situation. If you and Danny must travel, be sure and let someone know the route you'll be taking.
I'll be thinking of all of you as you battle through this stormy blizzard. Love, Ruth

Sorry about the snow. I think that snow plow operators don't know what to do with big snows. So, they do stupid things. Suzanne was complaining about the same thing.

I keep Danny on a short leash so he can't get very far.
