FEBRUARY SHOCKER


Tell me we weren't all SHOCKED at the amount of snow that fell last weekend!! 


When I woke at 4:00 a.m. to watch the hockey game ( in order to go to church and not wonder what was HAPPENING! or, worse, have someone tell me what DID) it was dark.  After whooping it up upon the close of the game, I was ready to take Skipper out for his morning pressure relief before breakfast and opened the curtains......I closed them again!!


Just a little snow....

Removed in no time....













But it kept coming down....and down....and down....Monday, Tuesday....finally it stopped. 




Broken trees, especially the willow on Laughing Pond..... but even the upper area was loaded and some broken...


Tuesday it got a little better, but all of it did not go....
 Lanes were clogged, not much was removed, because there is just too much!  I took a walk in the "new section" with Skipper yesterday and was knee deep trying to go completely around!  Sure did remind me of Smithers....
The good news is that Smithers is - 25 and we were +7.....a little to be grateful for!!
 I hope everyone had a good "snow holiday"...I used the time to get caught up on some desk work.  
 Hope all you in the South are suitably impressed with what is going on here....DO NOT  be smug!!  I believe this happened because we sent far too many green and sunny photos out to our friends and family and they all thought DARK THOUGHTS at us....do not be tempted to do the same!! Just joking, of course!

At the Bistro on Tuesday Karen Kimmerly was telling us about a new book she's looking to publish soon.  It is a Healthy cookbook and if you've ever sampled her recipes ( at Christmas or potlucks) you'll know that she is an expert in her field, because everything that is good for you TASTES good! So watch this site for availability. 

   Hope you all have a happy day.  I certainly intend to!
