Yumpin Yimminie !! We wakened (or I did) to see about 3" of freshly fallen snow on the ground ..
Yesterday the patio and driveway were SO icy .. and now, after I shoveled, well, it's going to be treacherous getting around .. I slipped and almost fell twice while clearing the snow a bit ago.
The wind has returned as well .. ahh well .. am thinking it'll be short lived.

Laurie, glad to hear 'Charlie' is doing well post operatively .. one thing about these wee beings .. they are RESILILIENT!

COOKING !! Had thought post retirement that it would be LESS of an issue, but, I am still cooking full on suppers 95% of the time. I DO sometimes lean on M&Ms .. but mostly I am chef. I really don't mind though ..

Had a fire yesterday in the chimenea outside .. had to dig it out as it had been tarped. I shoveled and cursed and Gord grabbed a hoe to help me .. I grabbed the blue tarp and gave a MIGHTY pull, it let go and I landed on my tush in the snow with 2 dogs walking on me in a panic !! Couldn't help but laugh ..
Have a pic of Lorna sitting by the chimenea .. can't see the fire in it, but, it's there .... long ways away from today THAT is for sure !!!

Off to run the dishwasher .. have a fine day everyone ...
