First Snow

Last night was the first snowfall of the season. It is already gone, of course. But, it was pretty exciting for our daughter as well as for her friends who came over this morning to play all day. By 8 a.m. she was outside making snow angels. And I tell you, I forgot how crazy a toque can make your hair when you pull it on when your hair is still wet and don’t pull it off until your hair is dry. Eeeek!

They put a playground in beside us which is very exciting. Many hours have been spent there already. And I have met a pile of neighbours. Strange though, they all ask when they discover just how close we are to the park, “Did you build or buy?”

Like really, are you trying to classify me with some strange schemata you have in your mind? Because, you can pretty much toss it out because we didn’t do it for the reasons you assume. (Although, I am not sure what reasons they are assuming…basically, I just don’t understand.)

Anyway, the snow was wonderful. But, I suppose it also means that I shouldn’t procrastinate much longer on planting my daffodils and tulips if I expect them to come up next spring!

And of course, the other outdoor projects…

Still haven’t gotten the car fixed. But then again, I am sort of hoping to hear from Nissan that I won a Versa. I sent in my essay for this week’s draw (which actually happens next week). Now, of course, I never win anything. But then again, this would certainly make up for a lifetime of not winning stuff!

Okay, okay, I won some peanut butter brittle when I was 17.
