Beautiful Early Morning!

 I was about 2 mins. late to get an even more gorgeous colour in the sky just before sunrise this morning.  It was really amazing.  Of course, this is a warning for bad weather following.  Was supposed to be a lot of freezing rain, but it luckily missed us today.
 Behind the house, after the big snowfall, the forest is very pretty.  I like the unusual tree limbs with the snow on them.
Going down the driveway, some loaded with snow trees.  Hard to believe that tomorrow is going to be heavy rain.  The snow will be gone from the trees and everything on the ground will be slush...yuck!

Kira's Deep Snow Searches

 The ball I had today was quite heavy and sure gets lost down in the deep new snow.  Doesn't matter, I don't think Kira would ever quit unless she was pulled off.
 And her tail never stops wagging, just like Blast when he's searching.
 She finally went back around and through trees to find the ball (you can barely see her here) where it landed hidden in the trees.
 Happy girl...."what now, mom?"  I had taken the ball so we could go for a bit of a walk.
After our short walk, we played a few fetches over the top of the plowed snow.  She was just flying over this, coming and going, having a great time.
I can't imagine the mess we'll have here tomorrow and the next day.  After 20cm snow yesterday, we are now under a heavy rainfall warning for overnight and tomorrow, with temps. rising to plus 7 C. by morning.  This is the craziest winter I can remember. 

The Princess Has Control!

Trust is above the carrying-ons of "the boys" climbing the plowed snow and watches for any bad behaviour.  We had 20 cm of snow yesterday, so there was lots to play in, and on, today.
Blast usually claims the highest mound for himself.
 Blast beat Tank to the ball and Tank comes out from behind the top of the snow.  They made a path down behind the mound.
 Out in the front field, just Tank and Blast were running through this.  Trust finds it a little too deep and hard going now.
 You need a fair bit of speed to keep moving through the snow when it's heavy and deep.
 Tank took a bit of a header here coming towards the packed snow alongside the driveway.
Blast is semi-lying in the snow.  He just loves this weather.  He was playing his "you can't see me" game, until I told him I could!!!
