A change in the weather

We met up with Bob & Max today in Round Lake village planning to walk the bike path.  The trail was very snow covered & icy so we changed to plan B & decided we would walk around the village instead.
I just love this village as it is so "old worldly" with lots of victorian style houses that people keep up using the same paint styles as when they were built.
This one, I think, went a "little" over the top!
This one I kinda like............
......however this one looked like they poured a couple gallons of Pepto-Bismol on it!

Much more toned down
I love this house & it is for sale.....it has a huge yard........
......look at the stonework.
This is the other side.....see their view of the lake.


This is the front of someone's garage.
We found a baseball field for Max & Molly to have a run.
You know it's cold when running water freezes!  It was probably around 20 degrees & it felt a heat wave to us.  We have hardly walked at all this past week so today felt good being outside.  They are predicting 40+ degs on Tues & maybe 50 on Wed.  Crazy weather!!!

    Some of them are sort of Key West-ish with all those colours. Pretty though especially with the snow.

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike.  It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it.  They start off very slowly.......  then speed up a little......  which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash......  gradually she feels more comfortable....  then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!
