Canada Diary Of
It started to snow
The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven.
It looked like a Grandma Moses print
So romantic we felt like newlyweds again
I love snow!
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight!
Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had!
Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again
I did both our driveway and the sidewalks.
This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again
What a perfect life!
The sun has melted all our lovely snow
Such a disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry-
We'll definitely have a white Christmas
No snow on Christmas would be awful!
Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again
I don't think that's possible
Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.
Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night
The temperature dropped to -20
The cold makes everything
sparkle so
The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks
This is the life!
The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again
I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way
I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.
20 inches forecast
Sold my van and bought a 4×4 Blazer
Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels
Stocked the freezer
The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out
I think that's silly
We aren't in Alaska, after all.
Ice storm this morning
Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt
Hurt like hell
The Wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.
Still way below freezing
Roads are too icy to go anywhere
Electricity was off for 5 hours
I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm
Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her.
Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her
God I hate it when she's right
I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own livingroom.
Electricity is back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night
More shoveling! Took all day
The damn snowplow came by twice.
Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey
I think they're lying.
Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out
Might ave another shipment in March
I think they're lying.
Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me
I think he's lying.
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white
