Random Snow Day Post

Hello dear friends. Sophie and I have been very negligent when it comes to our blog. I have no reasonable excuse for our behavior, so I might as well get to the business at hand!

We had the first big snow of the season over night. There's probably 7" outside as I write and the forecast is calling for another 3" tonight. I'm like a little kid. I love snow! So does Sophie. She demands to go out much more often when she realizes it has snowed. The first order of business is to roll around on the ground until she's covered in snow. I don't have a picture of her in today's snow, but this is from earlier in December. She is such a clown!

My favorite farmer/husband has all the equipment he needs to clean out our farm lot and driveway. In turn he cleans out the drives of our neighbors who don't own such. He went out a bit ago which leaves me time to write!

So much has happened since I last posted. We traveled to South Dakota and California.

Our third granddaughter will make her arrival by the end of next week...how exciting! I am looking forward to meeting her! I've been baking the past two days. Photos to come. In an effort to be brief, we will bring this post to an end. Enjoy your weekend.

Welcome to my Sophie Doodle world!

Hi there, friends...or soon to be friends! My name is Diana and I am the human voice behind Sophie Doodle. Sophie is a Bernedoodle, which is a cross between a Bernese Mountain dog and a standard size Poodle. She is 3 and a half years old, she is mostly black/silver with a beautiful white Phoenix on her chest. My doodle-dog has the most beautiful, big brown eyes. I was hoping to get a tri-colored puppy, but they are not very common. When you can find one, I have noticed they tend to be VERY expensive. She weighs 75 pounds but thinks she is a lap dog, which can be a big challenge. Sophie is very lovable and very bouncy! I sometimes believe she is the reincarnation of Tigger...Winnie the Pooh's friend. She literally bounces on all fours when she is excited, which is most of the time. My Sophie is still very much a puppy, the vet says it may be that way for some time to come. Oh. My. Goodness! I'm so glad you stop...

Sophie Doodle's Joy de Vivre!

Happy Friday! After several weeks of unseasonable warm weather, Sophie Doodle and I awoke to our first truly fall like day. Unfortunately, not one of bright sunshine and crisp temperatures but rather a dreary, overcast type of day. Sophie perches herself on our back porch and sits facing the wind, giving her a model's shot with the the wind fluffing out the fur on her snout. A very elegant look for a very comical doodle! My doodle has been blessed with an abundance of energy, or rather a joy de vivre when it comes to her personality and demeanor. Meeting someone new is not met with trepidation but with a "Oh! I'm so Very, VEry, VERy, VERY glad to meet you! (insert a mental image of a 75 pound dog with her tail gyrating at take off speed, trying to cuddle up against you in order to really get to know you!) This is how I am greeted every single morning upon her return from her morning constitutional! She is definitely a lover. ...

Glitter, Glam, and forgetful Mom!

Happy Turkey Day! Sophie helped her momma decorate a Christmas tree for the local hospital's fundraiser. Actually our offering is a wreath on a mirror with a matching tree. Who knew the level of stress accompanying the design of such a donation! There have been no less than four different attempts at the design. In momma's opinion, there is nothing worse than GLITTER. She has had glitter everywhere over the past 3 weeks! Usually, momma helps a friend with the set up and isn't in charge of actually designing the tree. This year her friend asked for our help because she had the gear for two more trees donated by a lovely retiree who moved south and didn't want to take it all with her. The two, along with her own tree would be quite a challenge for one person to decorate. Momma said yes, she'd help and as such, momma was blessed with the bronze/brown decorations to design a tree on her own. In all honesty, the tree and wreat...

I'm a Sophie Doodle Dog!
