Canadian Eh?

Well - the good old Canadian Winter is upon us. Here in Southern Ontario - there's no telling what you might get.. In my last post - the day after Christmas - we had no snow - just a lingering fog and frost. By January 2nd - we looked like this: We had 14 " of snow fall from January 1st - 2nd.


It was such a winter wonderland - very beautiful (except the driveway that I had to get my Dad
to come over and clean out with the snow blower).

And - in keeping with the wonderful Canadian Winters in Southern Ontario - by today - everything out there looks like this: Yep - all gone!



By next week - we'll probably be snowed in again. Thankfully - we aren't getting the snow that they are on the west coast - and the flooding. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.


On to other subjects. I've been a little bit remiss this past week or so - trying to keep up with all the work I have to catch up on.

Michelle made this lovely shawl for my Mother in Law in exchange for some yarn that I spun for her. Note the lovely clasp that she made from beads. She is very talented - and I think the shawl is just beautiful. I'm sure the MIL will love it - we'll be seeing her this weekend.


I'm also headed back to work this week - at least part-time. We'll see how that goes. I'd much
rather stay home - alas - I've yet to win the lottery.
