Last night's snowstorm is but a figment of our imaginations as of this morning. Not a trace left. The snowflakes coming down were some of the largest ones we had ever seen. The snow is 3 days late in coming this year compared to last year.

One of my biggest fans, Linda from Missouri,  called me this morning to say her check was almost in the mail for her re-newal subscription. But wanted to make sure she got her Fall issue.

Linda also was wondering if she could use some pictures of me.. I said sure.. then I discovered my fencing picture at Amy's was apparently not too complimentary. I was cold that day (I think I was getting run down and starting to get sick) and had a man's extra large insulated flannel shirt on. As you can tell, I dress to stay warm, not fashion, and apparently don't care if I look like I packed on an extra 80 pounds overnight while I am fencing.

Picture top: Me in the middle in the flannel shirt
Picture Bottom: Me milking "Mudbog".

These pictures were taken only days apart.
So those complimenting me on losing a bunch of weight,
thanks, but it is mostly due to what I am wearing that day..
