We had freezing rain warnings for Tuesday. Wednesday wasn't much better. Joe hustled in to get groceries. It's not the rain, it's the ice rain we worry about.
Tariff Tuesday began... We're trying to look after ourselves. The stress for so many is palpable. They are threatening cutting Social Security, which employees pay into over their work lives. Then, Medicare and Medicaid. I just don't get the deal. There is no art to these deals. They are crippling Americans as much as Canadians!

This is fabulous!
What about retail therapy? Buy Canadian, buy from Scotland! I ordered a new purse from Maritime Tartan Company. They are based out east, with all products made in Canada or Scotland. It's a Harris Tweed Tote! All we can do is support Canadian workers.
I packed up my new purse and set out in a storm. I had a haircut booked in Carleton Place, a 45-minute drive away. At home: snow; on the way: rain, near Franktown (aka: the Hostage Exchange from Gramma Camp) there was snow. Heavy snow. A transport was breathing down my neck on a slippery road. I slid around into the lane for the spa. By the time my hair was done, rain. Home through rain, not so bad. At home rain turned to ice pellets, then snow, back to... you get the idea.
Arriving home at our driveway, I stopped and thought about checking for mail. I decided it wasn't a good idea to fetch it right after a haircut! All tidied up. Of course it doesn't look like I had a haircut, but that's the idea. I am looking for easy, safe and predictable.

That is quite a place to get a haircut.
I had seen photos of the Canadian Goose/Eagle kerfuffle. One was better than the other.

Your bag is beautiful (I may be biased...). Canada is beautiful. You are beautiful. (My unbiased opinion.) YAM xx
ahhh, Spring in Ontario!
We did some grocery shopping yesterday. Like many folks, seen in the NoFrills (canadian), I was checking my labels. My beloved brussels sprouts in the mesh bag were from the Netherlands, the loose ones were from USA. Hmmmm. The bagged ones were absolutely lovely and fresh whereas the loose, not so. I wonder if they are dried out and wilted because they aren't being purchased?
I plan to add to your economy next week. I wish I could find that purse during my visit -- it's fantastic. We're very concerned about social security and medicare. They're already messing with Medicaid which really affects the underserved. Things are getting very stressed here.
Your hair is cute and it suits your face shape well. That new purse is so cute, I love it. We had some rain last night and wind today. No snow or ice though.
Yesterday we had heavy rain and a scary thunderstorm.
Your new hairdo is cute.
Take care, enjoy your day!
Lots of the News out there is fake, nothing is happening to Social Security, Medicare or Veterans...Our President is just trimming fraud waste and abuse. Keep calm and carry on:)
Wow! Your weather really changes often! I had no idea. Glad you made it home safely. Have a great weekend.
Cool haircut...like the eye shadow too! I don't have any anymore. So there is some eyebrow pencil and lipstick if I want to get gussied up! And maybe somewhere some pink stuff to brush on my cheeks, which turn pink on their own these days! Oh the weather you all endure is enough to definitely make you a stronger breed of humans. Enjoy your non-American goods. I hope this is over before too many of my poorer neighbors suffer. I am grateful to have what I do have, and if the aid I get from the government goes away, I can live more frugally (which I have done before in my lifetime!) They just better not take away my earned Social Security. It's my savings from years of working. I don't blame the many federal employees who've been fired from making lots of noise.
Only the very bravest would dare to drive out there in that snow, ice, rain, sleet and graupel. But after all that, I love your new haircut.
the nasty weather just keeps on coming.
