First picture is what the laneway looked like before the snow.. the last picture was taken about an hour AFTER the plow had come by to clear the lane so I could get out yesterday morning. I fortunately turned around about 20 minutes away from my home when I realized that even the main roads, although a plow had gone through, were dangerously rutted with snow caused by the cars that were trying to make their way through. Visibility was not good, blowing snow made it impossible for the wipers to really clear the windshield. I got home put the car in the garage, shoveled the snow away from the garage door piled it where the plow driver could pull it away.. did that all along the side of the house too.

You can see by the pictures of the back deck, it had been cleared of snow down to the wood in anticipation of the coming storm, I had prepared. Still, when I went out to clear a path.. so I can make my way out of the house by the back door should there be an emergency, you can clearly see the dump. It fell hard and fast for hours before slowing down,

Have a “let’s do it” attitude.

Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind it is given by the Universe/God, and accomplish it. (PL2021.14)

Yes, my legs and arms did some complaining, but life is what it is.. and I thanked God/Universe that I have the ability to do it.

on the positive .. the snow .. was feathery light, the air was intoxicatingly fresh… the breeze/wind was teasing…friends touched base to see I was alright… sure in a *perfect world ** I would have been able to just sit by the fireplace and chill with a warm ginger tea, and my love wrapped around me… substitute a heated blanket … and Quincy came to cuddle.. Hey.. life is good! Even Quinn came to purr she actually got on my lap of her own accord. Time and patience.…

the 13th.

Snow..lots of it… you won’t melt, get out and enjoy it. The snow falling is light and fluffy, there is breeze that blows the feathery snow around.. kind of magical. It had to have been a steady downfall, it is the first time that I’ve had to sweep out the snow from the feeders with a little brush. Swept it off the domes too.

The snow started falling in the evening and we’re told it will continue till late afternoon. A really fun day to be on the slopes or snow shoeing across open fields. An afternoon by a cozy fire, the flames snapping and crackling creating an ambient sound that is relaxing…a lazy stay at home day… your choice.

Ohhhhh sooo happy, the plow just did a first pass on my laneway… Whoooo hoooo, that means I’ll be able to get out..

We are all wonderful in our own way

Although results are important your effort is what is truly precious.

Ok everyone, now I can get going,,, heading out… have a great day …

LOL.. still will have to shovel the snow from the garage door, the plow can only get so close.

If the snow is falling in your area.. be careful, stay safe.

2024.10

Good morning world.. A lot can happen in a few hours. picture #1, my backyard was without snow, none to be seen. Picture #2 is what I see when I open my side door to get to my car, the contractor has been by to clear my steps and in front of the garage, the plow will come and clear the lane.. It was done twice last evening, what you see is what fell with the freezing rain pellets in the wee hours. Picture 3 shows you what I see from my back door. I had already cleared a path twice for Keeper to get off the deck to the back .. my last attempt was around 11:30pm.. you can see to the left, the accumulation. This is winter weather in these parts,, we have had it easy, December was one of the warmest months ever. and what snow fell was gone within days.

I saw the poster on the right when I was trying to find a picture without snow of my backyard.. Gave me chuckle, I love where I live, I enjoy the four seasons, and all that goes with it. However from the grumbling I’m hearing on the radio.. there are a lot of unhappy campers out there, We did get spoiled with the clear highways in December. Just means, the birds will be wanting their feeders cleared of snow, the Jays will hope for extra helping of peanuts, and the crows.. well.. they are in for a treat… I had check wings for supper, they get to pick the bones and enjoy the wonton wrappers I didn’t eat.. (I cheat, I like the shrimp or meat inside the wontons.. and save the skins for them…)

It is easier to adapt to something when we find it interesting. No matter how enjoyable a situation is, a slight change in our attitude can make it boring. Let’s face any situation with curiosity and enthusiasm.

If you are driving out there, be careful, seems some parts of the highway are like skating rinks, lots of water and under the water could be black ice. If you live where the sun is shining and the roads are bare and dry, offer a thank you.. and send positive thoughts out to people living under different skies.

I’m going to have Thai coconut chicken soup for breakfast!! yum!

Rose Parade

Good Morning, thought I’d share a little sunshine from down CA way. Temperatures here have dropped, no snow to speak of but way below freezing during the night. I think I heard we could get sprinkles here and there over the next few days, good thing the ski resorts up in the “hills” have been able to make artificial snow.

My “playtime” climbing and enjoying close up and personal time with the trees I showed you yesterday caught up with me. LOL.. good way to ensure, a sound sleep!

Be flexible to change. A flexible way of thinking and responding is one of the keys to getting along with others, (PL 2023.31)

A note… a news bulletin, altho’ there is ice on some lakes and rivers, the news reports are that they are not safe.. we already have had drownings. Please be careful out there.

sugar

Is there anything I can help you with? Enjoy a feeling of happiness to contribute to those around you. It will give you confidence tht you have something you can do for others.
Perfect Liberty 2023..3

It was a sugar coated world yesterday . Mild, very pleasant. There is a simple joy in standing quietly while the fluffy snow flakes dance merrily through the air. Of course if I stood too long, there were complaints from the peanut gallery that the morning breakfast was being delayed. Interestingly when they see the chair and I sit.. they stop chastising me and go about cleaning up their “plates”… they seem to know, when the human sits and closes her eyes, I’m having a ” time out”.

Enjoy the day everyone, don’t know about where you are, but here, the airwaves are full of the holiday cheer “songs” and “stuff”

Rest easy

uh huh not going no where – that is thick crusted heavy snow. Had to use the shovel to move the snow from that one step and it was not cooperating.. it was wanting to stay right where it was.

My intuition told me when I woke up… You staying in girl. I started to change my mind wanted to try leaving … when I went to test the situation, I saw that …uh huh.. my first thought was the right one….

Value your intuition.. when you suddenly have an “a=ha!” moment , or when a thought pops into your mind, it is God sending you a message. As soon as you notice something you should act upon it right away
Perfect Liberty 2014.19

See dear friends, still at this tender age .. you would think I would simply know to trust my intuition, (shakes head) the headstrong child is still part of my BEing. Going to focus on decluttering.. Have a good productive day! This storm is blanketing everywhere… stay safe, dry and warm.

weather

rust you say!

Nay it is art…

IMG_20190831_112725_resized_20190901_123149043

under the majesty of the sky

the temperament of the clouds

the treasure lay,

surrounded by a crowd of flowers

lush and green waving in the breeze

cheerfully saying hello to passersby

oh… for a closer look

checking mirrors back and front,

I pulled over to seek my treasure out

IMG_20190831_112744_resized_20190901_123148650

not gems that gleam in the sun

but a sturdy piece of artwork

that has been lovingly blessed each day

by natures wonderful expressions

(most call it weather)

set in concrete for all to see,

this piece of art has grown lovelier with each passing season

I can’t say for sure, but I would guess

that not many are struck by its beauty

or come to admire, yet pass it each day

such is life, in French there is a saying

“to each his/her own”

You see rust, you say! Lad show me the way!

PL calendar day 3

Instead of worrying, do something about it..

It doesn’t help to over think situations such as, “What if this happens?” or “Things might end up that way.” Instead be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.

Wednesday 8th

Day 8 of the PL calendar

First accept Everything

Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and at times inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.

Bom dia!! Greetings on another bright sunny morning. Mid week already, where doe the time go.

It was fantastic day yesterday to travel the roads, the trees along the highway are starting to bud, I could feel the anticipation in every direction. The water levels were still very high as we approached the West Island (heading into Montreal). We observed that the water was still half way up the trees that would usually be above the water line on dry land.

Please take time to remember that tho’ the weather is currently dry, there are thousands who have suffered severe water damage over the last weeks, and need our prayers. Not just a few, but many people have lost year of memories and accumulated treasures, and are finding themselves in a place of sadness with weeks and months of rebuilding and hard work just to regain a sense of “normal”

Life is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood– Ralph Waldo Emerson

anticipation 4.3.17

Anticipation

as the days grow warmer the anticipation grows

soon, not only will we celebrate a new day

the new buds of spring will come alive

and the art of the bloom

will bless and bring colour

to skies that have been winter gray

Bees will actively tend their hives

and our toes will be free again

=^_^=

YAY !!!

polar vortex, Artic chill

What do you think? Does this suggest to you that it is cold outside 🐱

weather-dec-15-16

The sun shone so brightly today, for the first time EVER in my life, I out on a second pair of sunglasses over the ones I was wearing so that I could drive safely. Even then, the glare was so hard on my eyes, it actually began to feel painful. My eye balls wanted to retreat deep into the recess of my skull.

The sky was the purest of blues, if not for the constant reminder that we were under a frost bite warning, and a caution that it was going to get colder as the day wore on, AND with the wind chill factor, it was like minus 30 degrees Celsius .. Note I am a Canadian that relates to the weather, as seen above in Fahrenheit.

snow-coming-down

I have been told, snow is coming, it was clear and bright today, but it seems certain that over the next 24 hours, we will have snow. The snow will come and the temperatures will raise, so that we will be in for freezing rain/sleet.

Knowing this, I have prepared myself for a day of creativity indoors. I am lucky that if I decide not to go out, I don’t have to. The joys of being retired.

shovel-snow

Yes, snow does have to be shovelled, or getting out of the laneway, could be a challenge, but for those who love to be outdoors, skiing, whether downhill or Cross-Country, snow is welcome. When was the last time you sailed down a snowy slope on a toboggan

tobagganing-fun

LOL true, once at the bottom, you have to make your way to the top again. Great way to stay in shape, and it is something the whole family can do.

Yes it is cold, Yes it is going to snow, Yes it could get slippery, but you know what, you have managed all these years, you know how to deal with the Canadian winter, or the Colorado lows… where ever you are, use common sense, dress accordingly, drive safely, enjoy the world around you.
