The daughter in Pakistan sent an email yesterday saying that she missed the snow. Yeah. I had to drive to our shopping town yesterday and it was an, um, interesting drive as the weather was doing one of those things it does in Eastern Ontario in February. Cloud, snow, wet and clingy, wind, sky clearing, more wind, cloud arriving, more snow, and repeat. So, I slithered, breathing through my mouth, part of the time and stepped cheerfully along in the sun for the rest of the time. We have snow. We have almost all of the snow that the snow gods have dumped on us for the last month.
I have a blogging buddy called Nance, who just put up a post about shovelling. She may need counselling soon. Oh, Nance, if you want to do some shovelling up here, feel free to pack the scraper as well because there are spots where it will be needed.
I just took some photos from our porches. Our unshovelled porches. YD, feel free to admire as you sit in your garden where, I imagine, you have flowers.
Tomorrow we have a fine young man with a strong back hired to shovel the roof.
Sounds like one of those miserable winter excursions.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a guy with a plow. You must.
We have a snowblower on the tractor that JG uses to do the laneway and path to the deer feeding station. The path to the birdfeeder is one shovelful wide and is done by womanpower, mostly.
ReplyDeleteOh, horrors. We are finally getting enough warmth consistently to have a full-on thaw. FOR NOW.
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone, ever, miss snow? THAT is someone who needs counselling. ;)
Thanks for the plug. It is much appreciated. And I am so relieved to know you have someone else shovelling your roof.
I think that what she misses is the ability to play in it. Snowshoes. Cross-country skis. Toboggans. I miss them too as I am now lack the balance to do much of winter play.
ReplyDeleteLate winter wet snow is a bugger, for sure.
I wish the deep freeze was over though it doesn’t snow in the bitter cold.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. I will follow yours.
How nice of you. I found you through John's website - he has some fine photographers in his comment section, you among them.
