You know I had to write a post on Zeke today. He loves the snow so we went out and enjoyed some snow and sunshine.  Since the snow was so deep, Zeke decided to find a spot to sit a spell.   Zeke is digging out a spot.  AH, now he has his own spot......  Now, Zeke is looking for the ball I threw him......  Zeke found his ball and plans to keep it in his little spot. Happy Sunday everyone.  I am so thankful for this glorious sun shine and a rise in the temperature from 7 to 19 degrees today in Lewisburg, WV.   01/24/2016
