Where have I been?

I've been posting very little lately.

Where have I been?

I have been here, at home, doing nothing.

Yup, that's right ... nothing!

Well, not really nothing, but nothing exciting.

It's seems my life right now is in such a routine that it is hard to break free.

I've spent the past few months hidden away here, cleaning, cooking, eating, sleeping.

No projects on the go, no renovations, no new recipes, no gardening.

I just haven't had anything to SAY!

Since there is another major snowstorm on the way to southern Ontario tonight, I will still be stuck here, in my rut.

Wake me up when spring gets here!

A blast of winter - February 8th

The winter of 2012 was uneventful, but a winter storm snapped us back to reality on February 8th.

Heavy snowfall and strong winds reminded us what Canadian winters are all about.

Part way thru the storm I went out to shovel the walkway and the snow was over my boots!

 The wind was blowing snow and people were advised not to travel

It snowed and blew through the night. In the morning, the snow was deep and the sun was shining.

I wish I had a photo of the snow blocking the doorway when it was opened. The snow was piled up as high as the door handle! After we dug our way out, it took several hours before the driveway was clear and walkways were done. I brought a fresh supply of firewood into the house and then went outside to enjoy the sunny day. For only the second time in 10 years I strapped on the snowshoes and went for a little walk.

The new snow sure makes everything look fresh and clean, don't you think?
