Jan. 16: shopping, cleaning

 It's been snowy. Saturday Joe went into town for supplies. You know how that goes. The streets are awful. It looks very pretty, though. I sped up the video, added sound effects, just for that winter look.


 I managed to refill feeders, vacuum, shovel the back deck, and decided to clean the fridges. (They came with the house.)  It's tricky getting up off the foot stool, too hard to sit on the floor. I seconded Joe. Sitting on the foot stool, I ripped the parts out of the door, handing them to him where he was washing them in the sink. Teamwork! 

Then, I washed the kitchen floor. Do you know what happens when I wash a floor? I drop something on it. Yes, I did. I had an old jar of gravy on the counter. I was trying to figure out how to get rid of it. 

The snow just keeps on coming!




My gloves are wonderful! 

No bird bathing today!


Meantime, Aster went snowshoeing with her gr. 10 outdoor ed class in Gatineau Park week ago. Exams start Friday. Great excitement there.

On the weekend her Trex group camped at Foley Mountain Outdoor Ed Centre.

We took the kids there during a summer Gramma Camp during COVID.



Out in B.C., our Vancouver grandies are getting outside. Ski season begins!
Oh to be young again!

  1. Wonderful snow pics. Good on you for tackling the refrigerator! And the floor too! Sorry about the spill! Loved seeing the summer/winter scene differences. I've forgotten about driving on snowy roads completely. And there you all are just zooming along!

  2. You seemed to drive into town from the north, or were you leaving at that point? Somehow, I always pictured you more to the south or southwest.

  7. Your town looks so pretty, very like the Ohio towns over the river from us. Lots of snow in your area though!
    Those fridges would be impossible for us, just too low. It is an interesting design. Kind of reminds ne of the ones we saw in England. Their appliances were much smaller than what we are usdd to.

  10. Yes, loads of snow here too not that far from you. So much so early in the season too. But loads of opportunities for sports, etc. and makes great photos too, trying to be positive here. Meanwhile lovely photos of the family.
