Good Morning, Popcorn! How are you? Looks like snow is in the air this morning. And I'm home the next few days so I don't have to go out in it!!! I'm wondering how many of them will 'die' in 2014 because of radiation poisoning? Or are they keeping that a secret too?

It stayed way north of us so we were spared the bulk of the storm. We lucked out with about 3 inches just enough so my Corgi wouldn't get lost in it, ha ha! He loves it. The sun is shining now although the wind is really picking up. Going to stay inside where it's warm today!
