Good Morning and Welcome to Saturday the 30th day of January, 2016.
The second last day of the first month of the New Year.
I just had a thought ….. my message is still the Holiday one ….. time to change it ….
The sky is very pretty this morning at just after 8:00 a.m. ….. filled with shades of pinks and yellows as the sunrises.
It is always quiet at this time of day as the neighbourhood slowly starts the weekend.
Soon there will be cars zipping down the street.
Soon there will be children playing outside on the sidewalk sliding on the ice and splashing in the water.
Last night after work I worked once again on the massive ice/water pool out front of my house.
One of the little girls from down the street stopped as I was chipping away at the ice and wanted to help.
So she took the shovel and was scooping the water/ice into the path to the storm drain.
After two very small scoops with the shovel she exclaimed “it is too hard on my hands.”
I giggled and said “I know, it is hard work.”
Once I put down the shovel …. she wanted the ice chipper …. I asked her to be very careful and she tried to break up the ice but she is small so not to successful.
After that she kind of fell / sat down in the snow bank in front of my house.
It was nice to have company as I worked.
Alvin patiently looked out of the window.
We have not been walking as it is crazy on the sidewalk down the street.
Not everyone is trying to break up the ice.
There are some that have it all chipped away but they do not have the snow melting to the storm drain so it is easier.
Alvin and I have his appointment at the Vet this morning so that will be an interesting walk ….
Thank goodness I have my spikes but poor Alvin will be a slipping and sliding.
I am going to take a small towel with us so that I can wipe him off when we get to his Doctor.
Well time to get this show on the road.
Someone is coming to take a peek at the dryer tomorrow so that is good.
Today I will just wash clothes and hang them as I did last weekend.
Until tomorrow have a great one.
Special Hello to : all those folks just watching the sunrise and loving them.
Always, Carol and Alvin
