MORE SNOW!

Terri and I played catch and fetch in the front yard today while I did some shovelling. I'm taking my time about moving the snow this week; I don't feel up to trying to do it all at once. The helpful farmer didn't come by to move the bulk of the snow this time.

I wrote a haiku for my experience in the snowfall today:
Interlaced snowflakes
Captured by Earth's gravity
Blanket everything.

Yes, "Earth's" is unnecessary but I needed it to complete the 5/7/5 scheme. Yes, I'm aware that my haiku doesn't follow all the rules mentioned in Wikipedia but I don't care.

Apart from photos of my sweet companions, Terri and Flower, I really have very little to communicate these days. I'm enjoying the warmer weather; I dislike temperatures below -5 °C. True, the colder weather makes us appreciate the "good" weather more but I've never been one to take things for granted. I'm all too aware of history and conditions in other parts of the world to do that.

MARCH LION

This wasn't much of a storm and that's good news! The snow isn't as heavy as it was in the previous "real" storm so I will likely be able to shovel the driveway without too much effort.

I haven't been writing for my blog in ages. This is mainly because I have trouble accessing any of the Google blogs. I guess too many people are taking advantage of the free blog space and layouts. Facebook hasn't given me any problems and its interactivity is faster and easier so that's where I've been hanging out.

The reason I'm posting now is that my Shaw Direct TV service isn't functioning. It stopped last night while the snow was getting closer to Ottawa. Usually, I can get a reply when I send a FB message to "Shaw Direct" but so far, no luck. I'll have to return to reading the translated Swedish books I've been enjoying from the library. Authors Camilla Lackberg and Asa Larsson have been keeping me entertained this month with their murder mysteries.
