Blizzard 2016

... and winter come with a vengeance: it started with arctic temperature the week of January 18 and it ended with 30" some inches of snow by January 23rd.  Bernie hold down the fort at Howard Lodge, taking care of the horses and cats.  Francesca spent the week-end at Blanchette's house to take care of Max and Hallie, while said Mr. Blanchette was sun bathing in Tortola!  As of this writing, Bernie is hard a work with some of the neighbors to dig the Private Road out: the last picture I received was not very comforting and I am sharing it with you all:

Happy 2016!

Quiet first day of 2016 here at Howard Lodge: Bernie and I took it easy, and so did our pets: Mr. Jones had a long relaxing nap on the sofa, Pixie and Spritz shared the attic room, and Luna and Nash enjoyed their day in the new field close to Wendy's horses.  
Happy New Year everyone
