Spring in South Dakota

This picture was taken this morning. We got A LOT of snow last night, and it all fell straight down. There is a 7" blanket covering everything, even the top of our fence! It is quite lovely, but I am a little worried about getting to work today. My car is completely buried in snow... but at least it is warm enough so the snow is already melting. And the dogs are having a wonderful time. Apparently they haven't heard that it is supposed to be SPRING and we are VERY CRABBY that we have to shovel again!
This is Rose with her snowball feet. Rosalyn has a lot of hair between her toes (although we try not to talk about it because it is a sensitive issue for her). Every time she goes out in the snow she comes in festooned with these quite decorative snow balls between her toes and hanging off the long hair on her legs and belly. She doesn't seem to think it is as funny as I do...
