I saw Spring Flowers today.  Is spring really here? or is it just teasing.  I think teasing.

Darn weather.. and it was only 9 am.. and it’s all over the grounds.  And it’s only the beginning . .of winter.. it’s not bad till February. .and then it never seems to wanna go away .. EVER..!! DARN CANADA..!!!

Told you i had to replace some shingles on the roof.  The damn developer didn’t do a good job. .and whoever put the house together didn’t do a good job.  Slackers ..!!!  and now we don’t know how much this is gonna cost us.  Oh well..!! can’t have everything good eh.

Yes.. the snow says it all eh.  We are snowed in on New Year’s day .. so far we haven’t lost power.. thank God..!! “touch wood”.  How was your New Year..??

What a day..!!!  it was horrid..!! that’s all i can say for now.  I never want to ever have another go on this kinda weather.  It is not only scary.. !! boy..!!! we could have lost our lives.. from the cold because power was gone.. and all.  It was the longest few hours .. before we headed to a friend’s house to get some heat.  A wood stove is the way to go .. i guess next year for our spring project.  But once we put in the stove .. i’m sure we will never get another storm.. given our luck.

Frosty the snowman is definitely in town..!  unfortunately, the real frosty isn’t as cheerful as the one here.. and he brings the cold with him.  Ahhh…!!!  i hate winters..!!!  it’s cold.. we spend too much on oil and power.. and no one gets to go out .. and we stay real fat.. !! bummer…!! sorry frosty.. no offence.. but could we only have you like on Christmas Day..?? or the eve only..??  well.. one can always hope eh.

The day after the snow.. is what i love most .. because i get to see the snow melting.. and then drying up when the sun comes out.  Definitely look a lot nicer.. than with all the snow.. and i don’t like the snow.. because it gives me the illusion that it’s freezing inside and outside.

What a shame.. !! this came down .. during the Christmas Parade.. !! it was nasty.. we could hardly stay outside and watched.  My hands were frozen.. and i bet the folks on the floats much have had been worst.  I was surprised.. they didn’t get a pnemonia or something like that.

Truly enjoying snow for the first time.. my kid had a blast for a few minutes before we left for work.  And here i thought to myself… only a child would like to be in the cold.. and not any adult.. they don’t know any better eh.  But it was cute to see her have so much fun.. with actually nothing new to us.  Afterall, we have snow every year and we could skip a year or two of it eh.

First flurry of the year was seen this morning.. just as i was doing dishes.. from breakfast.  *sigh* .. gonna be a long winter .. i tell yer.  Such joy right..!
