I`m back with a few pictures of what our day here is like in Ontario because we`re having a snow day. We were going to Oshawa for the hubbies yearly family re-union Christmas dinner that`s held in a pretty little church basement. Luckily I was the one bringing the jelly salad and a few cookies and not the turkey. They don`t expect many to make it this year though. There have been over 200 flights cancelled at the Toronto airport and I imagine a lot of disappointed people. Hope everyone is safe. Bad time for storms...this time of the year when there`s so many Christmas do`s.
Yesterday we went under my parents bird tree and it was really something to see the chickadees fluttering around to each house. They were almost tame compared to the giant sized blue jays and the woodpeckers, who stayed away. The chickadees wings gave a tiny wuurrrring sound as they flew about.
My dad gave me this cute little bird house so I could watch the birds. I took this about 7 am this morning when it was freezing rain outside....
And this was it two hours later...
The rest are from around 10 am and it`s still snowing. No bare feet in the driveway this Christmas sis!
The weather report is saying that this is the worst winter storm in decades so please don`t go out on the roads if you`re getting this one. It`s a doozey.
If you click on this picture you can see the tiny chickadee that stood still long enough for me to snap a picture. The best birds pics are the ones I didn`t take because of course I didn`t have my camera LOL
The back garden. It`s now about a foot of snow.
Last trip out the snow was up to Elvis` belly. Here,earlier, it`s on it`s way...
"Here I come!"
Being so time and energy challenged, when I couldn`t find the thingy that hooks over the top of the door to hang the wreath on, I stuck it on the grill...
I think I want to make Christmas cards for next year out of this picture of Elvis. He may not be centred, but it`s one of his prettiest. He`s such a sweet boy. A "hog dog"..... a "getting in the garbage dog"...an "I`m starving to death dog" but a sweet boy. If you click on it you can see his expression...
It`s all pretty out there if you`re safe at home, but it`s cozy inside......
Have a really nice and really safe weekend everyone. I think I`ll go curl up and continue reading Sylvia Brown`s "the Other Side and Back".
And Merry Christmas again!
