Good morning!

Wow you folks got really hit with snow!! And thunder snow? I’ve never heard that expression before, did anyone hear it?
Not a flake fell here, so driveways, streets still black…I’d be sobbing if that hit us here.

Be careful out there, take breaks if you’re shovelling or snow blowing…stay home.
Unbelievable.

yes we sure got a wallop of snow. Trouble is there is weight to it, not the fun fluffy light stuff that even I can clear away. Thank goodness DS did us a solid from the front deck down the entire front path, then cleared a narrow path to the driver side of the vehicle, then tackled that 4 foot pile that the plow so graciously dumped to block the driveway.
He was pretty much toast after that, took him 40 minutes, but he declined to use my handy dandy electric snow shovel. Geesh I wanted to use it but just not physically up to that atm.
The street is filled with very energetic neighbour's all out playing with their snow blower toys!

@Lynn49 hope your eye procedure went well, thank you for your snow sympathy got about a foot here.
My body hurts probably from not walking but not doable today with the sidewalks.
Everyone just do what you can and try not to worry about what you can't. One day at a time!

@walkonby even with the snowblower my DH took over 1 hour to clean the drive way and whatever the plow throw to block our driveway. Then he had to do the back for my fur baby . On our street everyone was out . A few house up my street Has 2 seniors in there 80’s he then went to help them . So he had his work out for the week. Ours was also very heavy snow

Thank you, @Skippy, I have a check-up in 2 weeks but I'm sure it went well.

So today YOU and I changed places!!
I couldn't just let that sunshine kill all that snow out there without witnessing it, I wanted to trapes through the lakes at the intersections, so spring coat on, I actually was the one to take the pooch out for a walk! Not far, of course, dang bursitis in my hip, but we did 2 blocks and as you all had neighbours out shovelling, we had neighbours out walking dogs, kids splashing in puddles, and everyone was in such a good mood as we walked along and met up with.

Strange set of circumstances, but I'm sure March isn't finished with us, yet but I sure do bless days like this!!!
Take care, Skipper!!

That kind of heavy snow really takes its toll on blowers out there, as well as our hubbys...I hope there's muscle relief cream at the ready!!




Stay safe, everyone!!

Good morning everyone

Morning all.

The 3 Lord Of The Rings, ( or LOTR as you cool fans refer to it as ) PLUS those 3 Hobbit films. Can ya imagine RE-watching those in a weekend? Nope, neither can I.
I LOVED Gollum the very first time I watched that performance on the big screen and became sucked into the trilogy because of that character. No I'd never read any of the books, whadya think I am ? a nerd? lol

Well DS and DH did some bingeing of the flicks, which saw me miss watching my Sunday evening shows!! ( they were recording so I didn't protest ). It is what it is, sometimes the heart wants to watch armies of creatures fight over stupid stuff.
Whatever....just give me a couple of laughs with the Dwarfs and Gollum and I'm good.

Good morning everyone, we are supposed to get some light snow tonight. Again...whatever?

Happy garbage pickup Tuesday all! ( I celebrate the small things here ) .
The Leafs are successfully doing what they do every year, which is drive me bananas! Should I even watch tonight? I will, I've been indoctrinated.
Carry on with whatever is floating your boat today, I'll do the same.

Morning peeps!

[walkonby]

Too much sunshine out there today, it's blinding me but I know it's wrong to gripe about it. Instead I'll post this very very sexy horsey side eye!!
What a handsome horse!

good morning, just wondering if anyone has seen farmer's market pack of 6 muffins in irish cream flavour? I found a pack at my local rcss two weeks ago and i'm in love. Since then i've been on the hunt for more and was not able to find any at several rcss. I even went to NF but their selection was much smaller. I'm thinking they brought that flavour in for St. Patrick day.
