March 2, 2018 -  Opie's Diary of Daily Doings at Rikki's Refuge
What is that about March coming in like a lion ???   Roaring like a lion ???   With a lot of hot air???

My lectricity went away shortly after midnight ....  and my water fountain stopped working .....   and it started to get cold .....   SHE said buck up little orange dude ....  drink out of a bowl and snuggle up ....  it won't last forever ....

We're really lucky the leaves aren't out on the trees yet.  Lots more would go down in this wind.  All those leaves create a huge sail area to catch the wind and bend the trees even more.  And did you know the leaves on a tree weigh like 500 - 1,000 pounds ???   Learned from somebody who's done brush chipping and hauled it away by the pound !!

Snuggled up nice and warm out of the wind

Disaster control shows up on the scene .....   and bark at the offending tree .....

Resting after all that hard driveway work ....
