SNOW...AND MORE SNOW

It started to snow yesterday around 3 PM, and it looks like an accumulation of 8 inches or so already, and continues falling – those big, fluffy flakes giving us another splendid winter-wonderland view. Karen, although SHE has been doing the shoveling, remarked more than once how lovely the whole... Sign in to see full entry.

MONDAY, MONDAY

Here we are, Monday again. I had some catch-up work to do on Saturday, so it feels like the weekend was too short. It was filled with hockey games and basketball games and some reading and cooking, the eternal studying, then housework and sleep, although there was not enough done of the last two to...

EARLY SUNDAY AM

Good morning Folks. Just a short post to tell you that we are well and under oodles of snow in our bush. I have a tough, like really tough, exam to do this week and I am stuck in my books –UGH – so not able to get out and enjoy it. It is my Japanese DIL’s birthday today, so they will be joined by my...

THIS AND THAT

It is very early AM (3:15, to be exact) and of course I am up, sitting by the kitchen window admiring the stillness of the night, the little pools of outdoor lights chasing shadows on the abundance of snow out there. I rekindled the fire as the coffee machine did its thing, and the beasts, who... Sign in to see full entry.

TO DRESS, OR NOT TO DRESS.

So today will be the first day in over 2 weeks that I will venture out of the house...if I decide to go that is. I certainly don’t feel like it. Even if I had another good, long sleep last night and am in top shape, the need for company or visiting just isn’t on my wish list at the moment. Maybe I... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023

I spent New Year`s Day alone with my beasts and the bird; in silence, no TV or radio. I did a few chores around the house (not many), did some reading (light fantasy), lots of sleeping, no social media, no telephone, no texting. The only time I did messaging was early evening when my daughter began... Sign in to see full entry.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS IN BLOGIT!

I have 25 coming in for supper and, yep, they will all make it in spite of the weather. We've had at least 2 feet of snow up here in the bush, and it is still falling. I'm giving them each a shovel on arrival! After 2 days of no electric power, there is lots of last minute rushing around to have the... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I will be back! Am in full fledged study right now - in fact I have to write the first part of an exam later today after work, and I admit I may have bitten off more than I can chew. However, I intend to at least give it my all and we'll see how it turns out. I'm also caught up in finding fosters... Sign in to see full entry.

AND SUNDAY...

I am supposed to be studying, but my course is on the same computer as Blogit so…oops! I got distracted reading and commenting, and now soon my Little Flea and her parents are to arrive for, and with, supper (Chinese take-out on the menu), then it needs to be an early bedtime because it’s back to...
