PJ DAY

We finally got it ................... best winter storm to hit this area in 5 years, and we loved it. Friday started out with a gentle snowfall that intensified as the day progressed, By supper time we had a good 20-25 cm on the ground and more coming down. What a great day.




Of course whenever we get snow I'm always so grateful when the neighbours drop by with their machines.



A machine like this almost makes the job fun  ................... almost I said.





So when it's blowing, snowing and freezing outside the best thing to do is stay in your PJs, stay close to the fire and put on .......




...................... a pot of beans. On a winter night nothing tastes better than pulled pork, home made beans and a cabbage salad. That's the real meal deal, ............ oh and one of Don's beers.

Here is the latest news on Sherri sent by Rob last night:

Just a quick update while Sherri is asleep and I'm feeding Owen.  

Sherri got her staples out today.  The incisions look like they are healing well.  
She is still very tired but the pain in her head is steadily decreasing.  She is starting to be able to close her eye better now as well.  

All the signs are positive. We just all have to be more patient than we would like.  

Talk soon.  
Owen and Rob

Our view this morning:



The storm has passed, our driveway has been plowed and we are off to town to get supplies. Doesn't that look peaceful?



Safe travels everyone and thanks for stopping by.

  2. we got a good dump here too! Thursday night and all day Friday. Today it's sunny out, and I'm planning on walking from the Y (college and young) to St. Lawrence Market with my camera to get some sunny city snow shots. this beans look great. I've been craving black bean soup (with smoked pork hocks) maybe I'll pick up the ingredients at the market.
