Good Morning and Welcome to Tuesday the 6th day of December, 2016.
Happy Birthday Cousin “J” on this COLD December day.
Alvin and I wish you a wonderful day and the best year ahead.
Yes, it is true, winter arrived in Edmonton – in most part of Canada late on Sunday.
I knew that there was something about winter that I did not particularly enjoy.
It was these frigid temperatures.
My poor Alvin ….. no walks in the immediate future.
Just too cold, especially after I gave him a hair trim on Saturday.
Last night as I was out shovelling the driveway and deck, I had him in the house and he watched out of our bay window in the kitchen/dining room and was not really happy.
He likes to be where I am at all times when I am at home.
I let him out here and there but it was / it is just too cold for our fur babies to be outside for more than a few minutes.
I realize that some of the bigger dogs need to get old but watch the time.
Their poor paws will freeze quickly.
When I was shovelling at the front of the house with the exception of the porch area and front part of the sidewalk, I was in his visual range and he was okay.
Poor guy.
Sure is nice that he misses me.
I am so blessed to have a ride to work this morning.
Another tea order arrived yesterday and it all goes to my co-workers who support my tea business.
I am so grateful for them.
My neighbour that is giving me a ride ….. so grateful for her.
She has been here since I moved in and is a great friend and neighbour.
Really hard to concentrate on words when you are thinking about how cold it is outside.
Even the house seems a bit colder.
Our furnaces are truly getting a work-out in this weather.
Well time to go and finish getting ready.
I hope that you are safe and warm.
Do not head out on the roads if you do not need.
If you do go anywhere be prepared.
Blankets, flashlights, safety equipment, flares, water, gas can with gas, some chocolate and breakfast bars and make sure if you have a cell phone it is charged.
Safety first.
Always make sure someone knows where you are …. when you leave and your estimated arrival time.
Have a great Tuesday.
Special Hello: to my cousin “J” ….. who is one of the most intelligent, kind, witty human beings I know. Happy Birthday Cousin.
Always, Carol and Alvin
