Tales from the Bush in Quebec

I am sitting here in the middle of the night reading your posts and I had to write this short note to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the giggles, for the information, the insight, and for just the clean(except maybe CCT's poem - still giggling on that one), uncomplicated...

Oh my – the last time I posted was in March, nearly 3 months ago!! I do come into Blogit and read, take a few moments to comment here and there when I can but, at the risk of repeating myself, this course I am taking is arduous and consumes any energy left over from the job. I am really looking... Sign in to see full entry.

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.

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...

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.

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.
