Thankfully we didn't get a dump of snow from this last blow that went through the province. We chuckle when we hear Toronto is in a tizzy over a "snowstorm". They just aren't prepared for a bit of the stuff.
It's a chilly day, but the sun is shining. The sun is so warm now. The pets are enjoying themselves napping in a sunbeam.
The garden boxes are still well frozen here. The things that need mulching didn't succumb to the warmer temperatures of a week or so back. A warmer winter is not a good thing for a garden
Our car is still on the sick list. Hopefully they will have it fixed today. The old part (Control arm, a major fix) does NOT want to come out. Some bolts are really rusted in.
There is still no movement on our chimney rebuild. The restoration company isn't having any luck finding a contractor available to take on the job. There are so few companies still in business and they seem to be fully occupied building new subdivisions. I'd like to know where all these people are coming from and how they can afford these houses. It's not like there are a lot of good jobs to attract folks in this immediate area.
Waiting isn't fun.
ReplyDeleteGlad you avoided the snowfall.
You're right, a warmer winter is not good for the garden. Here they worry about the apple crop in the future.
ReplyDeleteThat is really tough. That Caivan development in Perth is a disaster!
ReplyDeleteWhat really gets me going, is when people that don't care about the places they rent, and practically destroy them. That's who is going to live in most of these developments. (Sorry about the rant.)
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
These subdivisions have street after street of identical houses. They are selling for around $459,000.
DeleteOh, I hear you. I am trying to find a good windowwashing company at present. Where are all these jobless people, anyway? Not looking for that kind of work, I guess. I used to do it myself. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI need a good window washer too
DeleteA little weird to see all the snow in TO, and look out at our bare ground!
ReplyDeleteIt was a gorgeous day.
New subdivisions? They are all over CP.
ReplyDeleteIt's frustrating with stuff that needs fixing (car, chimney) and having to wait and all. We got a bit of snow but it should be gone by today.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you soon find a contractor for your chimney rebuild.
ReplyDeleteThe lighter snowfall this winter will pose problems if we have dry spells.
