Dad used to snowblow the neighbours sidewalks just because he loved his new toy. Once he started getting used it and noticed not one person said thankyou, he stopped doing it. Maybe DH will too ?Happy Sunday!

Morning everyone . Hubby dismantled the pipes near the water intake and got them working just before dinner time last night (the heater wasn't working fast enough). Now our furnace is not keeping up with the cold for some reason today . The furnace isn't that old so i am hoping it just needs to be cleaned.

I also have a ton of laundry to do today as DD leaves on her roadtrip to BC this evening. She brought in a trunkload of dirty clothes. Do girls always have 10 outfits in their cars?....weird

The snow clearing inquiry is one of my pet peaves LOL. My hubby does our driveway, the gentleman (older I understand this one) across the streets and the single guy next door and sometimes the neighbor(young couple) on the other side. No one ever helps him with ours yet he continues to blow away. The driveways out here are quite large so this is a huge effort and as I mentioned earlier not a lot of protection from the wind so the snow drifts get huge.

Wishing you all a great Saturday filled with much joy.

Good morning, all!

I knew I shouldn't shovel yesterday! It's snowing again, has been all morning. Guess I'll be shovelling again this afternoon. At least it looks light...

Just finished doing the canvas art with the kids. Geesh, that was a chore! lol. The set up, painting itself, bath time after (the kids were a mess) and then the clean up after all that.

But the kids had a lot of fun and they look neat. Can't wait until they dry!

lola, snowed here too overnight, and more is falling now. Honestly, we have way more snow than we need!
Since you did some yesterday, there is less to shovel today!

True. I thought if I didn't shovel yesterday, that I could justify snow blowing today but now I'll just shovel again. It's not enough now to snow blow (at least I think) and hopefully it'll stop soon so I can do one semi quick shovel and be done with it.

I want SPRING!!!!

I'm very happy to have a son who is pretty good with a shovel!



When I was growing up, I was the one who got stuck with the bulk of doing it - we had a split-level house, and the driveway went down a slope to the garage, and it was a LOT to shovel - gah, I just hated that, it was so much!

FORGET YOU SNOW!!!! &*^*^&$^%$^%$%^&%)$$#!@

Got the kids all suited up after lunch and went out to shovel. Got about half the driveway done and DS wanted back inside. Got them both inside, undressed and set up with toys and back out I went. Finally finish and it's snowing again! lol

I really should have just waited and snowblowed as planned. lol

Hey, it worked! lol.

This is the end result to our morning of painting. You can kind of make out DS's foot print on the bottom one. He decided to stand on his when I was helping DD. lol
