The Good Day All Thread

@toni - Anytime you want a Canadian experience just head on up Got lots of room and, if you don't mind non-stop rain + snow, there is lots to see and do here (Although summer time is much better time to visit )

 

I agree ... those are temperatures I can only dream about until summer arrives! It is currently -7°C (19°F) and windy feeling more like -15°C (5°F). Snow blowing all around and covering the ice of yesterday ... makes for a tricky dog walk. Just 2 more days in 2016, boy did this year go quickly!!
Not sure of todays plans, other than 2 hours of ice time for my daughter to practice. It may be a lazy day!

 

The count down had started ... A Very Happy New Year to all!!!

 

Happy New Year everyone!! Currently -1°C and overcast. We had a lot of fluffy snow fall yesterday, and everything has a nice, fresh coat for the new year.
Made it up to midnight, but just barely. Today, I'm canning beans and some cranberry sauce. Used the last jar of cranberry sauce for Christmas dinner.
I will probably start taking down the Christmas decorations today, but will leave the tree for a few more days.
Have a great day all

 

Hello.
I am just sort of lounging-about here....pretty sleepy. We stayed out until 04.00 hours last night, so I got up really late and still did not sleep eight hours. Yawn....
Our decs will go down on the day we call, "3-Kings". I am always sorry to remove the colourful lights all around the house.
Hope you guys all had a really good "Season".

 

@toni - I love the summers and, in particular, the SUN! and summers here are wonderful however fall, winter and spring with incessant rain and no sign at all of sun can be downright depressing.

As a tidbit of trivia to living where there isn't much sun - There is also an interesting sideline here that many of us who live here are very deficient in Vitamin D (me included requiring I take a daily suppliment). Research and studies are on-going however there is a suspected link to MS. I'm probably the only one of my group of same age female cousins on my fathers side who hasn't been diagnosed with this.

 

Good Monday morning all. Currently -6°C and sunny. Yesterday was a lovely day, with temperatures near the freezing mark and lots of sunshine. I made sure to get out and soak up some vitamin D. Today looks to be the same sort of day. I took down most of the decorations and all that is left is the tree and the garland and lights on the banister. I'm not ready to take those down yet. Have a great day all

 

@toni - I think we all lust after and want what we don't have and that is probably what makes the world go 'round. Today it is cold here but we do have sun so 'soon' I'm gotta be out there soaking up a few rays

 

2017 started off soggy and today there are warnings out for tornadoes and such it is very wet out so we are in watching tv playing board games ad hoping for a dry out so we can continue playing in the yard. Hope ya all ahd great starts to your new year. We ahve company who decided to stay with us today cause the weather aint good for driving and das a good thing!! if ya gonna be hot and clammy on a rainy day ya might as well have company

 

We had a power outage at 5 a.m. on the second day of the New Year--sure hope Toni's mother's prognostication doesn't hold true for us!
When the power came on three hours later, I got busy doing laundry and cleaning the kitchen. Again, I hope Toni's mother was wrong!
All the decorations are down and stored away for next year, and I'm thinking of perusing the seed catalogs we've received so far, marking what I want to order.

 

Good Tuesday evening all. Currently 2°C and raining. It has been raining all day. The snow is melting and there are puddles everywhere. Hopefully all this water will fill up our well, which has been very low since early fall. Spent the day with my girls and son in law today, shopping at Costco and the mall. Fun day it was!
All the decorations and the tree have been put away now. Time to get back to reality!
Have a good night all!
