"Oh, oh... what a world, what a world..." - The Wizard of Oz, Wicked Witch of the West as she melts from having water poured on her.

It has been raining now for 3 days.
That means up north it has been snowing on and off for that duration as well.
Thankfully plenty of people prayed for the weather to change so it is now snowing here too.
The winds have been howling since early this morning and the majordanes just stare through me when I try to coax them outside, as if to say..."Oh NO! Not until you do some moisture and temperature control out there!".
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here to state that it is now official: The Winter of 2007 has EATEN the Spring of 2008. It was hardly a fair fight. That being said, the Majordanes staff at the home office have decided to pay homage to the lesser of two evils - the rain.
Rain mixed with dogs makes for interesting experiences of shaking fits, wonderful new and fascinating smells, and sad looking faces all around. This would have been the perfect time to use Tom Waits' song Rain Dogs, but alas... I have played it here before and decided to focus on the rain and go with one of my favorites from high school - Rain, Rain Beautiful Rain by Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Enjoy Streamers!
Sending soggy thoughts your way!
The Big Dogs were here...

Here they are in all their damp glory.
Enjoy Streamers!
if it's AnY Consolation... it's raining here too
p.s.
oh and Dalpha ?.... we gotta talk about the SiZE of your Post... Do ya got a 'wide screen tv monitor ???
Sherry
Sheeesh. Can you say MOIST?
I have my life jacket on and we've battoned down
the hatches! I will be around tomorrow.
Cranked my back today and I am laying flat!
UGH
Hope you are having a good weekend. Are you sure you guys didn't fall into a bermuda triangle of weather madness or something? Geeze. Do you guys usually have a spring? Perhaps you might consider moving?
Enjoyed the post! Happy Saturday to ya.
Oh crud? Ok - tell me what you see when you view my posts.
I have a WIDE screen and it seems like every time I use html code for centering
I get this crazy 32 pt font. No idea how to get rid of that, but I am always willing to learn!
Or is it the graphics that are crazy? Say the word and I will work to make it better for sure!
Much love woman - and thanks for not letting those prairie dogs loose on me this week!
Ok fires are NOT fun!
Northern MN is covered in
snow again. The picture over at
Taylor's place on OVERHEARD
sadly matches the current view outside
many picture windows! A fire would be tough
to fight in these temps! It looks like you had a great anniversary
tonight Sherry! I'm so glad. You are a strong community
member here on the stream and I am better for knowing you.
Much love your way!
Hope you had a great night. I have been flat on my back
again. Just can't sit at the computer so I will try to visit
everyone tomorrow!
The weather is just relentless!
I have no idea why we are suffering.
I think somone up north pissed off Mother Nature
and frankly, I think it's time to APOLOGIZE to her.
Spring lasts for about 3-4 weeks here, but like I said in
the post... I think she has been eaten with no hope
for a reprieve! Poor thing. I wouldn't be surprised to be
in the 80's in a week. I am telling you... LOCO here!
I came by earlier for a SHORT visit and saw the sweet picture
of a dog and water and I think I saw a second one
from you as I glanced over at Taylor's
OVERHEARD post. Rockin! Nice to see the canines being represented.
Here's a little feline for you Bella!
Have a great night & catch you tomorrow!
Don't mind me. It's the daquiris.
Bear Hugs!
PolarB ;)
Very cool Tunes Dalpha!! I loved The you tube too!! Sending some sunshine your way..
My door for this week is.
I have been up for an hour now and
can finally walk. Whenever I injure my back, my body locks
up at night (no tossing and turning, no nothing!). I think it
is a protected instinct, but when I wake up I have to spend serious time
getting my muscles back to working condition. I ice, stretch, repeat -
until I am able to walk upright. Until then, crawling works for me!
Around here it is Dawg days of [insert your word here] - take your pick!
I remember being told of the Dog Days of Summer
when I was a kid and that we couldn't go swimming during it.
I gotta look that up so I figure out what the heck that meant!
Hot on the trail now!
to die for! I want that in my backyard.
What a magical place!
Secret passage ways are always SO cool!
I hope you have a great day.
Hang in there, dry weather just may be on the way. Pray we don't have another draught!
Have a wonderful week, you and those precious Danes!!!!

Dogs love to share.
into my brain!
Jeez - I think the rain brought out my best
"whoa-iz-meeza" - crazy pity party!
[hey? hey you- Dalpha! snap out of it... everybody's watching!?
Sorry - won't let it happen again!
Thick blood left over from the winter will help us through that one!
Have a great week!
Much love your way!
The danes are sitting on the back step soaking up the
rays and working on that Minnesota tan!
Crazy pups?!
Oh to have two weeks of picture perfect weather!
What a blessing
But dry is no good either so let's aim for that happy medium!
I am going to work a little more on my window today to
make sure the wide screen problems are all worked out.
Let me know if that ever happens again (where I change something
and the post goes haywire... that is no fun for anyone!) and I will get
right one it.
Still working on my summer travel plans
and will let you know if I am near by.
I hope we have the chance to connect
but with our schedules it may prove to
be difficult to make that happen.
I hope you are enjoying your week
and hope the pack is all back to
full strength there soon!
No more over working those
po' ol dawgs!
We returned today to find an empty bag
in the hall that used to house home made biscotti...
(Luna - that guilty guy looked so sad when I said his name...)
and last night the Numa-kitty was attacking the bags
of tortilla chips... what a weirdo!
Much happiness your way!
I love the gotta-pee-rain-dance from the danes!
Give give give - that's all those dogs do!
Hope you are having a great day!
I wanted post this here for you too!
A short clip of Spirited Away.
Sen is a human child who has accidentally floundered into the spirit world.
In this clip she is working in the bath house and the stink spirit
that comes in for a spiritual cleansing... was inspired by
an community experience of helping clean up an old creek.
Enjoy!
Take Care!
I think what is blowing out your screen is putting some of your pictures in side by side. If you notice, most of the rest of us stack them. When they go in side by side the screen expands so we have to scroll sideways to see everything. Does this help you?
Bella said you were down in the back. You MUST watch that pole dancing stuff, it can kill ya.
Sherry
Have a wonderful Friday
Gloria
And now the van too!
It has cleared here for the last few days
but tomorrow promises more rain.
It was nice to have a break.
Kids joke for you:
If April showers bring May flowers, then what do May flowers bring?
Pilgrims.
No more until this sucker heals!
I will have to rope off the pole and hang a sign...
"closed until futher notice."
And thanks for the info on the side-by-side pictures.
I don't see that on my screen.
I will make sure to only set side-by-side photos
if they are smaller in size!
I hope that helps.
What about the font?
I centerit, and it looks REALLY big to me on my screen.
Any info you can give me on that or maybe wait
til after this weekend. Thanks for letting me know.
Ahhh! Thanks for trucking on by!
Glad you enjoyed the visit!
Always good to see you!
Huggggggggggggggggggggggz,
Taylor
Those poor wet dogs...
I AM!
I went from Sunday pain level of 10
to a pain level of 2 today.
I have one more chiro appt
and then I should be back
to HAVING a back!
Whew!
I checked into Pilates
studios. I will have to try that
and see if the machines can
help stabilize my back enough
to work on strengthening my core.
Know what that means?
No MORE pole dancing until I get this under
control and my dreams of being a MN Roller Derby Doll
may fade too if I can't get it back to good!
Thanks for checking on me Taylor.
BTW - Bemediji area last weekend got 15 inches of the white stuff?~~
MERCY~!!! Uncle!!!! We give - you win Mother Nature!
ick.
Have I told you each time I read "Busmanterry"
I started humming "Mustang Sally" ?...
so now I sing "Busmanterry, now you can't slow the busman down..." to that tune and
enjoy a little song as I send you off a message! Try it - it rocks!
Have a great day!
I was already going to lend you my Minnesota Viking Roller Skates with the lights in the wheels!
Guess we'll have to chase another dream ... How do you feel about joing the circus? You'd look way cuter in this itty bitty costume!
Huggggggggggggggggggggggz,
Taylor
P.S. I am THRILLED that you are feeling BETTER. Hurting backs are NO FUN. Please keep me posted on how the pilates thing works out.

That's it. I have to continue the fight!
For all the shattered dreams of a life...
I will not add this one to the list.
Send the light-em-up skates on Taylor,
and I will venture once more into the dark!
Ok - but first Pilates might help me a bunch and I will keep you posted on that!
Ride - Terry - Ride....

I had no idea it was that crazy?!
How you doing?
Weather letting you get out

The pack keeping up with you?
I hope so! Kids and family?
Any summer family reunion plans?
Those are always fun!
I have to get up early to do a grad
ceremony tomorrow on campus.
In june, I head to a graduation in Boston
but I will miss the ceremony and guest speaker
(JK Rowling) and attend only
the family party. I look forward to soaking
up a little east coast air, so be sure to save some for me!
Have a great evening and I will catch up with you
this weekend! Much love your way n.
Look at you... catalyst for change in the world!
One small blog step for dalpha... one giant step for the danes.
BTW - I found a graphic perfect for you

tonight. I can't wait... so I may sneak over and just give it to you!
So fun! Seecha later!
Oh Night Light! You are SOOOOO right!
I keep a paper bag just inside the door,
filled with old rags. Good for
paws and
