A good season for reading!

We had 80km winds on Monday. There is lots of loose and drifting snow. I drove into town to pick up a grocery order, and there are garbage cans and recycling bins all over the place. My recycling bin was in the ditch. The garbage can on the road, and rolling. I threw it behind the fence while I carried on into town.

We had snow overnight, on top of the cold winds. I heard Ottawa is a bit of a mess in spots. It is still dark as I write this. I'll have to do the driveway!  After breakfast and coffee!

I found an old video from Muskoka, where we used to live. This is from 14 years ago. Lake Effect Snow!

These are days for reading indoors. I have three library books out. It is time to Take It Back! 😏 (Get it, A/C?!) Two new authors for me. Kia Abdulah is very interesting. A twist on what one expects in both books. It is an excellent introduction to Islamic religion and culture. I've taught many kids from diverse backgrounds. It helps to understand.

📚I haven't attacked the green one yet, it's a series, and !

🇺🇸 I had a thought. The US president thinks Canada is benefitting from US protection. They think we need to increase our defence budget. Thing is, we don't have many enemies, and if the US didn't provoke so many other nations, we wouldn't need protection! Just sayin'!

Seth Abramson is pointing out the really poor decision-making of the US Administration. Middle class taxpayer money, since oligarch brolicarchs don't pay much in taxes. Nor do they donate to good causes. 

🇨🇦 Same old critters at the feeders. Great excitement, we are having family visit on Family Day weekend! It'll be nice to have someone else to talk, to other than each other and the birds and cats! 

🛷 I did a Wetland walkies with Daisy back in March, 2017. This sled I hauled up to the back yard. It was interesting to research it!

 

I spotted an old archival photo, and that is the sled I found in our backyard wetland.

😺This is the link for Cat zoomies, in case you cannot see it. Let me know if you can't see it. A couple of people have said they can't see my embedded videos. It is posted below: 

I hung this Jan. 4th on the guest room door. The plan was to find a local, hand done one, but there aren't many festivals these days. This will do for now.
