That’s a great looking balcony.  Is it some of the first of your winter weather?

 

We were blessed to receive 5” so far today. Enough already.

At least you report inches instead of centimeters.

I tried to get a photo of our amaryllis, instead Owen photobombed me. 
 

 

 

Should I be worried that it isn’t upright? 😂

That’s a great looking balcony. Great for entertainment. Lately, we had only one other couple, as to maintain social distancing of 2 meters.

Yes, it is, 1st rain. We very rarely get snow, and not where we live -- sometimes in Jerusalem (which is higher than us) and the Golan Heights.

 

A year ago....

10 hours and I’ve had enough. I think Lucy has too. 
 

Hopefully you finished all your outside jobs.

Andrew, I remember that she has a place in your barn ("farm cat") and hot drinking water, but is there a low temperature which she couldn't withstand? My heart breaks when I see her outside...🥰

Outside work done.  Fired up the snowblower today and ran the lawnmower and trimmer out of gas.  All set.

Tell Lucy that it’s only 118 days until spring.

Haven’t gotten together with our friends in quite a while so enjoying a nice charcuterie and wine afternoon 

 

Looks yummi. Reminds me of Jamie's plank... 😁

After all the grocery shopping, daughter and I went liquor shopping.  We made everyone happy with our banter, so proud of us.  One guy cracked up when she told me to buy the large Belvedere because I deserved it.  We also mentioned that we would have to sneak it into the house so hubby wouldn’t notice it.  Probably that is what he found funny🤪I told the cashier what happens in the liquor store stays in the liquor store.  Mums the word!!!!

Kudos to you and your wife.  Nothing worse than trying to get in and out of a grocery store quickly than a bunch of couple shopping together clogging up the aisles, nattering back and forth over what brand to buy of something to save a couple pennies. 

At our grocery store, they were announcing that only one person from a family group was allowed in to shop!!

Does Lucy come inside?    I always found it funny to watch Splashes walk in snow, especially deep snow.

Our food stores did that last March thru May.  I wish they would do again.   Last week I ran into a family of 5 and they all had their masks below their nose!!   Great parents teaching their 3 girls how to be responsible, Not!

Always happy when snowblower starts right up after sitting for months.  I siphoned out gas on my tractor then sat on it in my shed till it  ran out.  Put away all my patio furniture including my outdoor bar.  😢

You Canadians waste good gas?  Snowblower?  Is that similar to basements?

After 42 years of marriage, I believe we've got it figured out. 😏

Ours also request that but many don’t heed the request.

We haven’t had to plug in her heated water dish yet, but her winter bed of shavings has been fluffed for the Queen. She’s good with her heavy winter coat she has been growing out all fall. 
 

She’s at the side door waiting for a few cat treats.

No, she has always been an outdoor cat.
 

This video was from after a snow fall a few years ago.

Too Cute!   Is she riding a Roomba?

 

Yes, but there is also a furniture dolly under her.  That's why it is confused

Bucky did well to run them through inside the wall, but I had to connect everything up.  Was about to toss Bucky outside after a bit...he is not a patient type of person.  Was driving me crazy!!  😖

Cheers to Bucky from the Husbands Union Hall 🍻
