Where has the week gone? Another wee storm! The sun shone later, though.
I forgot to post this and tell the story. It was rather strange. Now, I like to put out the garbage as soon as I get up. This past Monday morning it was 6:30. There are reasons for this. a) I don't have to get dressed, just pull my long coat on over my housecoat and jammies (it is dark!), and b) I can then go back to the house and have my coffee and relax.
This is what I face down at the highway. I checked the mailbox for snow.

The story: I went down to bring the recycling box back. I noticed a beer can on the ground behind the bin. It wouldn't surprise me if someone was drinking and driving and just chucked it out. Sometime between 6 a.m. and noon. We get beer cans a lot.
When Jesse visited from Vancouver, he brought some art from their girls, Bryony and Cluny! I put it in on the wall!

We never know what schedule the collectors will follow in any given week. As long as I get it out by 9, we’re good, for no matter what route they choose, they can’t get here any earlier. Then sometimes it sits out there until late afternoon.
Today is my garbage pick-up - but I have to push myself to get bundled up to take it over to the dumpster. It's not snowy, and our squirrels sometimes interrupt my walk, but they are grey here. They are becoming more rare, as are the birds. I blame it on the landscapers for having killed so much of the land critters...no bugs, no birds. The pics of the pink girls are so cute!
...Thursday comes around faster and faster each week.

Wow... a future winter Olympian??? YAM xx
I got out a few times this winter for cross country skiing. It's good exercise.
A future champion skier?
A whole new way of life over there, all I had was basketball, tennis when I was older, had to bike on a metal road to get to the tennis courts, and on the farm with my Dad.We all did the same in our small country area, and didn't miss what we might have had.In the South Island, so many families ski from a very early age, snow and slops so handy. Lots of traffic out there on your road, take care as they whizz by!!!Thick coat and 'jamas, that would be a sight if they had to whisk you off to hospital if a car speeding by got too close!!!

We put our garbage cans out this evening for tomorrow's pick up. Luckily we don't have bears or other wild critters that can get into them. Cluny is adorable!
I love the girls' art -- isn't it fun to have kid art in your home. Makes you feel all the closer!
The girls are adorable! I'm sure they will be excellent skiers.
