The Garden is your sanctuary!

Right! You are doing this for you, not for them @Teila. And I think we all know how you feel about having to listen to stuff you don't care about. Been there, do that

Hey, @Teila, looks good to me.

Honestly Teila, that is the way my family always treated me father, mother, brother & my son. My father was sitting on the sofa looking out the front picture window, watching me shovel snow. I was outside over an hour and a half.

When I came in I asked him "who shoveled the snow?" He said he didn't know. I really blew a gasket and told him he had been watching me shovel all that time. He just shrugged.

I have learned I don't need their recognition or gratitude (never coming) The surprise would probably kill me anyway.

Like my father: my brother....backed his car over several inches of snow on the front lawn - missing the entire cleared driveway I had finished the day before. Car wouldn't budge. First I tried digging it out 2 hrs. He tried it - no good. I rested up and did another 1 1/2 hrs.- tried again, no go. I told him I couldn't do anymore.

He said "I'll call triple A and they will get the car out." They did, yanking it out with a chain. I was so I could have melted all that snow. I asked him what it cost. He said nothing because he is a AAA member. I asked why he didn't do that first, since it was a free service. He shrugged. See a pattern there?

PS you can see I follow the pattern of being a victim. I should have taken a long nap, with a Do Not Disturb sign on my door.

You were a free service as well DD and he didn't have to hurt his fingers dialing AAA!

So we made it back from picking up Gabbie about 2:30pm....just in time for tending to all the other animals, spend a little time letting Gabbie getting aquainted with the backyard and then final round lockups. Here Gabbie is after we got her and she settled down a bit... ....this is one taken a half mile from the house.... ...this one is in her area getting a bite of food and water.... ...then here she is playing in the leaves as she ventures around the yard...

My Shepherd is going nuts in the snow! She loves it. Much harder to play fetch and hubby did not play frisbee with her today. They did go for a walk though.
Glad she is home! Hope she sleeps for you tonight. What a cutie!
