It was as easy as 1-2-3-4
Nice day today, blue skies in the morning and partly cloudy in the afternoon, but don’t be deceived by the beautiful sight out there. It was -14F when I left the office building this afternoon at 2:30 p.m.
With the weather so damn cold today, guess what happened???
Yeppers, my car wouldn’t start no matter how much I tried for 15 minutes in the car without heat. And I knew I shouldn’t have done it, I did it. I stepped on the gas while turning the ignition on. Did it so many times, I almost killed the battery and then I flooded the whatever pump with gas. All this happened while at company’s property. I had to walk to the lobby of the main building and told the security guys I needed help to jump start my car. I waited for about 15 minutes, Mark’s Towing appeared, I got in their truck and went right to where my car was. That guy jump started it within minutes, came back to the truck and told me all is well but he did ask me what it was doing before I called SOS. I just told him when I tried to fire her up, it only turned and it wouldn’t fire up even when I stepped on the gas. He said I shouldn’t step on the gas with this type of car with injection-fuel cars. So, my car really smelt of gas big time when I got in. I had to sit in the car for another 10 minutes to burn the gas off before I finally left the parking lot.
When I got home, this is what I saw in our kitchen.
Our kitchen window frosted from being so cold. Yeah, we have very old windows that need to be replaced but that will have to wait. The above picture reminds me of some suspense movie.
I didn’t walk the boys either; sent them out on the backyard and they both had some sort of play time with the neighbor’s visiting dogs.
I know you will be wondering what those brown/black thingys out on the snow. They are the poop we have not gotten to them. Yes, the backyard is becoming a cow pad. These two boys formed two paths that they will always use to do their business or just to walk from the patio to the very end of the yard. It’s nice to have winter loving dogs. They can be out there for quite some time unless the wind is howling like yesterday, than I would force them to come in. And during winter, they are a little fatter!!! DB always feeds them a little more since they need the fat to stay warm which is making the boys so darn happy and I have to walk them more when it gets warmer!
Anyway, that’s my day of fun for today. And I still has this song spinning in my head since this morning.

Ah, snow!!! We had our first snow this winter 3 weeks ago – barely an inch and was gone by late afternoon…
Your two little boys are so cute… Wish I had a dog.
“Barely an inch and was gone by late afternoon..” If my hubby hears that, he will be in heaven. He is getting sick of the snow. BTW, get a smaller dog, not too hyper breed.

I like that frosted kitchen window.
How I wish Chester can play in the snow too.
Reminds me of spider veins, too! I’m sure Chester will love the snow.
