Milo and I took our morning walk in the snow this morning. We have about 8" of fresh snow today. We walked to the school house and raised the American Flag. This morning we honored the following:
Mark, Chester, DJ, Emily's Father, Tony, Don Trickey and our brothers in arms: All of the British troops currently servng in Iraq and the families of those who have died.
We continued our walk with the puppies, Maui and Plato. Bob approached in the school bus and had treats for all the dogs. He reminded me of an annual event that happens in Nederland, Colorado. Here is a press clipping:
Officially, springtime is not far away but Colorado winter fun is still in full force. If you've never been to "FROZEN DEAD GUY DAYS", hit the road for Nederland this weekend (March 10-12). This winter festival celebrates the town's cryogenically frozen resident, Bredo Marstoe, with activities including pancake breakfasts, snow sculpting, a coffin race and lots more. Get info at www.nederlandchamber.org.
It's been a cold winter in Nederland. For all of our friends who have moved out of Sunshine and are familiar with the event, you know Frozen Dead Guy Days means Spring is just around the corner. Keep smiling. David

You've managed to convince me NOT to complain about Delawarean weather.
LOL

Deb
the picture is great, but I'm happy to say in IL. we finally had a decent day. Around 60 with the sun.
Okay, now I'm coveting your snow like I was coveting Deb's (Frosty Thoughts) a few days ago! It looks beautiful! Frozen Dead Guy Days sounds like fun; anything to celebrate the arrival of spring sounds good to me :)
it is really neat you are honoring those who serve and served in the raising of the flag.
betty
David , hello........... I have never been to Nederland I'm sad to say. The winter festival sounds fun but I will have to miss it I have to work but I wish I could be there to see it. I would love to go to the pancake breakfasts and see the snow sculpting and all of the other activities there. I really wish I could make it. I know it would be fun. We didn't get any bit of snow here in Georgia. It was over 70 degrees of sunshine here......I would love to see a little snow.
LOVE that picture. The dead guy festival sounds really cool !!! I want to go !
Have a great weekend David

I haven't seen snow in so long. I love visiting journalers who share their snow pics. And your journal is absolutely growing on me. I have so many alerts, I didn't really need anymore, but I'm hooked. Love it. : ) GBU, Shelly
"Frozen Dead Guy Days"? Who came up with that and how weird is it? Please tell us more about the festival, I'm so full of curiosity I feel like a cat!
