Yep... lots of traffic coupled with nasty weather is a good combination for a good big old mess.

Meanwhile....now that the CDR are all hung over from present openings, I thought I’d update you all with a pix of Mr Snowman complete with his new long carrot nose.

Time to paint up and finish him off.

He's adorable. . . but. . . not being centered on his stand offends my sense of symmetry! :p (or as my sister used to say, "It offends my sense of cemeteries."

I took in a pair of ornate box turtles and a male and two female Texas tortoises a couple years ago. The lady had to give them up because she was getting to be too infirm to go out into the back yard to tend to them. Because of the species, I told her I was going to keep them in my collection.

Every month since then I've received a $25 Walmart gift card in the mail to handle the food and supplies for the animals. I've told her many times she doesn't need to do this, but she insists. She was very committed to the animals and cried very hard when I came to get them.

Today there was a card from her in my P.O. box, and inside the card it says, "I hope this money makes it. I'm so blessed to have found you for my "babys". I will be 87 this 26th and my time is running out. The day will come when you won't hear from me.

Please, since the familys are sleeping, I want you to buy yourself something from me to you.

Thank you again!"

And there were three $10 bills in the envelope.

It's sad to think that she's feeling she's near the end. I think, in the Spring, when the tortoises wake up, I'll take one of them over to her house so she can see it.
