What is a begging cillie?
To all of you non snow people we have just gotten more snow in 1 day/night
than we've had total in the last 2 years. And it is still snowing. Buffalo,
Chicago etc have even more. It is so deep that it is above my labs' stomach
and our sheltie nearly disappeared and she is oversized. Last night in the
middle of the snowing we had thunder and lightning!!! I thought I was losing
my brain cells but according to the weather people while extremely rare it
does and did happen.Sorry cillies- no grapes tonight. I have to dig out my
car so I can head off to work. Not even 2 feet of snow will close the banks.
bye Margaret
just north of Toronto Ontario.
