SNOW!

Nigel's squeaky chicken no longer comes inside because it is filthy.  It's kind of a step up from the regular snow angel, if you ask me.

I woke up this morning to a wonderfully crisp day and thought I'd share it with you.  I hear heat records are being broken all over Canada and while you're sweating and swearing about sweating I thought I'd help out with a little dose of shut it, it's cold here. Who am I kidding, though, I freaking love it!  Ha! I've been rocking mitts and a toque since July 30th :) 

 Standing on my porch you can see some of the crates from the construction across the street.  I also like that you've got a decent measurement of the snow on the banister.  Looking at photos from winter last year, I have to say, the information on the internet about this community is FALSE!  Last year, they received almost 16 FEET of snow but the stats online declare the annual precipitation to be 30cm.  Now, I admit to being a bit foggy on the cm-ft conversion but I'm almost certain those two numbers aren't even close...

I smiled the whole walk to work today :) The snow does something to the sunlight to make it so pure and the angry wind that usually blusters constantly from the north was at bay today.  Granted, by the time school was over most of the snow was gone but I can't help but think of all the snow to come!
