More Snow from the Snow Fairy

Yesterday was a snow today and the snow fairy dumped another three inches of it last night...looks gorgeous, but my body isn't too happy with the idea of more shovelling. The temps rose yesterday and the snow turned into concrete...so much so that the snowblower stopped blowing it after I did the driveway..Lets say that I had a few issues and thus I was out there for no less than four hours hacking away at the snowload. I will go earlier today and hope to have it all done before any of it starts to melt. The snowblower can stay in the garage... it is way to heavy for me to maneuver...even tho it doesn't require pushing...I will be happy to have Emil come back and tend to the snow duties... I miss my sweety:-)
other than that, I did half of my Christmas cards last night and hope to finish the rest up today. I tried to whittle my list down to fifty cards this year,so don't feel left out...just read my blog and I will be putting my very funny Xmas card up on header,come December... Why, that is only a few days away. I hung my Christmas wreath and removed my fall decorations fromt he front signpost... might hang a red Xmas ribbon up today instead to try to get into the Christmas spirit this year. It won't be the same without our four girls, but thankfully we have phones and skype and the ability to easily communicate nowadays. Our first Christmas in Quebec was one of the lonliest,despite having friends over for dinner. It is hard to be away from your family, but not as difficult as it used to be in those days without email, easy phone plans and cameras mounted in your computer. I will look forward to a rest after a busy few weeks at work that doesn't end until Christmas eve.
Ok, enough procrastinating...out to the snow shovelling!
Happy winter to everyone!

A little bird came out of the snow on the roof of my feeder this morning...he was fluttering his wings to remove the snow...and made me wonder what the heck he was doing there in the first place...the food is down below!

Do you see that patch of blue? It is coming up in more places between the clouds. i understand that the weather will take a dip in temps tomorrow to -9*
