Monday Musings

Hello everybody,
Well we went to P.E.I. this weekend and for the first time in my life I saw pink snow. There isn't a lot of snow covering the farmers fields this year so on one side of the road if there was some snow in someone's yard the dirt from the farmer's field across the road had blown over and settled on top of the snow making it look pink. I was going to get a picture of it but I didn't so I guess you will have to use your imagination to picture it.

We have come up with a date for Jean's birthday party. Saturday, August 19th. Black flies should be gone by then. Hope that you all can make it. 90 years old. Imagine. I wonder what changes the rest of us will see by the time we reach that age. I hope to have at least one grandchild by that time (ha,ha). Speaking of grandchildren here are two cuties that I got pictures of this weekend. Sierra and Harley Murphy.


So I must close. Ralph should be coming home from curling any minute and I have got to go and get things organized for work tomorrow.

Okay, enough already

What was I thinking to post something like I did about the beautiful weather we were having here in Halifax. Serves me right that we have what you see on the left here this morning. Ralph is out there now trying to get to the end of the driveway and Joe and Trish are getting ready to go out to shovel front and back decks. Jake is patiently waiting to go out with them to play in the snow.

Everything is shut down in Halifax today. No work for anyone. All schools and businesses are closed and Metro transit buses were pulled off the roads this morning. It has mostly stopped snowing now but it is still blowing around out there. The snow started last night around 7:00 p.m. We did not lose power which is wonderful. Don't know about the rest of the Metro area as I haven't been listening to the radio.

In case you have forgotten what it looked like in our front yard just a week ago scan down to my post from the 22nd of January. Quite a difference huh.
