Sophie caught a nasty cough that just won't go away, so the dr. prescribed a nebulizer breathing treatment. She kicked up a big fuss during her first treatment in the office, but that one was done with a plain old plastic tube. It's amazing the difference a little animal characterization will make to a three-year-old...she LOVES her "turtle mist" and we're hoping the regular treatments will get rid of this cough for good.
Here is our patio table after our first snow. Looks good enough to eat, doesn't it?
And here it is after a bit of a thaw...
I thought this was kind of funny.
And just to make all of you wimpy Southerners in your balmy climes feel sorry for us roughin' it up here in the frigid mountains of Northern Arizona, this is a shot of the hinge of our kitchen door....from the INSIDE of the house, first thing in the morning. (The sole heat source for that room is a wood pellet stove that we turn off at night, so this is the result. Aren't y'all impressed with our fortitude? It's a tough life, but someone has to live it!)

You go, Keri! Loving the blogging! Having been up there for most of this winter (no, wait, was that only a week and a half?), it's nice that this all feels familiar.
ReplyDeleteIt seems I misspoke on the "wimpy Southerners" and "balmy climes" having heard tell of SNOW in Jackson, MS! Brrrr! Not an unwelcome change from Phoenix though, eh guys?
