This Time Last Year, There Was A Foot Of Snow Around Here

Whereas, today it is cold and sere, but dry (though cloudy, the promise of snow is remote today).
The dogs were tres amused.

Both Dixiebelle, whose long, thick coat kept her warm...

And Hanna-Stella...whose enthusiasm is proof against any climatological vagaries.

Mischief is a delicate soul, who would prefer it not to snow, nor rain, nor blow very hard...

Budreau wouldn't stay still long enough to photograph, being a canine snowplough the whole time.
