The Good Day All Thread

Good Sunday morning all. Currently -5°C and snowing. I took the dog for an extra long walk this morning, and now he is snoozing on the floor beside me. I'm sure he will be up soon, and full of energy. My daughter wants me to take her to a new store in the next town, and I think I'd like to hit the craft store, so if the snow stops soon we will head out. Since we have a big snow storm set to blow in on Tuesday, I need to make sure I have lots of cardstock and vinyl for the Cricut projects we will be sure to do while snowed in. Have a great day all

 

Good Monday morning all. Currently -9°C and snowing again. Snow has not been in our forecast, but it has been snowing non stop anyway! Good excuse to stay in and clean or work on planning my garden, or playing with my cricut machine! Have a great day all

 

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently -4°C and overcast. All of southern Ontario is under a freezing rain warning this morning, and so all the school buses have been cancelled. I had a look at the future radar map and it seems it wont hit us until about 2pm. It may bring significant ice damage before the temperatures warm up to above freezing tonight. We have everything we need in case of power failure. Darling daughter has declared today a 'crafting day' and I am curious to see what she wants to create. But first she has to crawl out of bed! Have a great day all

 

Sorry Toni, but Mother Nature is being kind to us! I planted some onions this morning, sifted and added compost to two vegetable beds, and have grand plans to finish cleaning out one of the front flower beds. The paper whites are in bloom, and I'd like to be able to see them!

 

Good Wednesday morning all. Currently -5°C and the sun has just come out! The ice storm wasn't as severe as they had in the forecast, but the ground is a sheet of ice and the buses are cancelled again this morning. We took our regular dog walk this morning (as if Sargent would let me get away without one ha!) but it was slow going. I did not fall down!
Not sure what is in store today, probably more cleaning and a bit more crafting with my daughter. Have a great day all

 

Had a great morning! Husband trimmed and mowed the back yard while I played in the dirt. We now have onions, carrots, broccoli and spinach planted, and both of us are sore! Spring can sure hit a body hard . . . .
I'm roasting buttered pecans for Valentine's gifts for two diabetic friends, and will make home-made chunky applesauce to go with the gingerbread for other friends.
A day of planting and baking--who could ask for more?

 

Good Thursday morning all. Currently -16°C (BRRRR!) and sunny. Such a difference in our worlds MG ... You are gardening and cutting grass and I am frozen to the core and trying not to fall down on the ice that is my driveway! See that 'shiny- ness'? That is ICE and it made for a very slow dog walk!

Off to do my errands and shopping as soon as the sun warms it up a few degrees. Have a great day all

 

Netty, having lived through the ice/cold/snow/wind winters, I can sympathize with you, and only admire your tenacity and survival strength!
It was colder here today--didn't get above 55, so I waited until noon to water the seed beds and transplants.
We had a bunch of robins come in to get a drink and examine the surroundings. Here is one that is no longer thirsty! If we are getting robins on the move, it won't be long before they start arriving farther north.

 

Our Robin's never left this year MG! I have seen a large flock of them the entire winter!
Good Friday morning all. Currently -11°C and snowing. It started snowing yesterday, and is still snowing today. My daughter had hoped for a snow day, but the roads were all clear.
I need to vacuum and dust today - the woodstove seems to be messier than usual. Have a great day all

 

Toni, enjoy your get-away trip! Somehow you will find an interesting little shop to do some nosing around. If you do, I hope whatever you find is just perfect.
Today was pea planting day--sugar snaps, and shelling peas. I up-potted some tomato and pepper starts, and got both chicken coops cleaned and new nest box shavings in. Of course, the hens will toss out the shavings and lay eggs on top of the nest boxes or in any of the craters they have dug in the coop floors. The newer hens just don't grasp the idea of "nest box" but they sure have the idea of "whoopee, let's toss all these shavings on the floor!".
Hope everyone is having a great day, and that all in the US northeast is safe, warm, and not snowed in.

 

Good Saturday afternoon all. Currently +3°C and overcast. It sure is nice to have some milder weather! Maybe, just maybe, some of the ice will melt off the decks and pathways and I might be able to get to the composter to empty my buckets. I also need to get out to my gardenshed to get some wood for a project I want to try. Snow is deep, and my snowshoes are IN the shed. I will have to put more thought into that next fall when I clean up! Have a great day all
