must be crazy

So yesterday my plan was to go do some shopping. I thought that buying a few new crafty toys would help jolt me into making something. I did a few things around the house until it was late enough that the stores would be open. (I got up a little early on my day off)
About 15 minutes before I was ready to leave I look out the window and see this


Want a closer look at what it's really doing?
Yep, that's right. It's snowing like crazy.
Did it stop me? No way. I still went out. A girl could suffer from serious cabin fever if she stayed in every time it snowed like that around here.
So what did Duke think of all this?

He told me to take it slow and don't forget to bring him a special treat.

    Woof! Woof! That's great Ann ... but at the same time crazy. So what did you get? Did you really bring something for Duke. Hope it stops snowing ... Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar

    I can't believe you went out in that. You are the brave one and nice to know Duke looks out for you. Of course, I would brave the snow just to bring Duke a treat :D

    I wouldn't have went out in that. Oh wait. I wouldn't live in snow country. Just saying. At least Duke has a level head and he has his priorities straight too.

    Have a terrific day. My very best to wise Duke. :)

    Oh you tease! Duke is saying, "GO get some good stuff so we can show people!"

    Can't wait to see what you got.

    I would have stayed home with Duke! Glad you made it home safe and hope you found the goodies (and treats) you went after.

    Atta boy Duke! You know where your priorities are.

    The snow looks beautiful ~ I know it can be a hassle but I sure wish we'd get a little.

    Oh Ann - I can't believe you decided to venture out in that. Almost reminds me of that very old film 'The Trap' (Oliver Reed and Rita Tushingham) out in the wilds with all of that snow.
    I don't think I would have been tempted out .... hibernation comes into mind!!

    Duke ever the gentleman is assured of his seat in the House of Lords with all of that commonsense.

    I hear you! Just keep the faith that Spring will indeed be here before you know it. And I hope you brought back something for Duke.

    You went out anyway? How did it go? The driving would have scared me to death, you must have a four wheel drive. You are braver than me! It doesn't look like your roads were treated or plowed! I hope you got lots of good things to make the trip worth it. Yikes, don't let Duke out, with all that white he'd never be found in all that snow!

    We had some snow yesterday too, but it wasn't snowing that hard. Will have to do some clearing again :(
    Well - it is winter. I guess if we didn't want snow - we'd move south?

    Duke, you got it all straight, the priority is the treats for you. Hope Mom made it home all right. That is a lot of snow. Take care and have a fun week.

    We have been pretty busy with the snow around here. I have a post up today. I dig out five cars over here and it took me until Friday to finish the last one. Another Nor Eastern coming in for this coming weekend.
    Duke is looking good as usual. Hope you got some goodies when you went out.
    Have a good week.

    donna either that or maybe it was "what do you mean you're leaving me home alone"...lol

    sandra I don't like driving in it but sometimes when we've had a lot of snow I just need to get out before cabin fever sets in

    vanilla seven it hasn't been special in a very long time...lol

    donna yep, it was cabin fever alright. Duke got some chewies

    bossy betty but of course he does :)

    gayle I get cabin fever way too easy.

    out on the prairie excellent motto, I think it's one that I follow quite often

    Lin he knows that a little retail therapy for mom benefits him as well

    The good thing about shopping in a snow storm is the stores are not very busy. I hope Duke ended up with a nice treat.
