Beginning Another Trip Up To The Farm

Hey, wasn't it only yesterday that I posted pictures from our trip back from the farm? Yes, but the contractors were beginning the barn restoration work only a week later so the dogs and I were soon on our way back up north to see the big doings. There was still snow in the Adirondacks but I was able to get off the road a bit to give the dogs a rest stop. I had to encourage Wally to come with us as he was unsure of himself with his limited eyesight:

Everyone jumped back into the car except Wally. I continued to call him without showing my impatience as I knew he was making his way through the snow without benefit of eyesight. Once all the dogs were loaded into the car and I'd counted them several times, we resumed our journey through the Adirondacks toward the farm:
