Hi Tony, glad your feeling a bit better. As soon as the snow is gone and it warms up, you will begin to feel more like your old self. Sun is shining here today although it is cold enough. Looking forward to those 40s from Thurs on. I guess Spring finally is going to come to SW Ontario. Sure looking forward to those 50s and 60s. Just maybe I can get out and about to do some yardwork soon.

Thinking of ya.

I clicked on your avatar to read the graffiti.
Ain't that the truth.

Oh, my gosh. That's not exactly a pleasant sight out your window! What is that? Two, three inches?

I'm sure glad to see you up and about - glad you're feeling better. I hope it continues. Just think - this weekend is the time change. We don't get any more sunlight and it doesn't guarantee any less snow, but it's one more step toward spring!

Good morning Tony, continued improvement on the health front. Damn you got more snow too. Looks like its hitting a lot of folks today. So far nothing in our forecast but I am beginning to wonder if the weatherman is snoozing...sure looks like a lot west of us. Guess we will just have to wait and see. Right now sun is shining and it's rather pleasant out with only a light wind to add a bit of chill.

Take care of yourself, don't attempt to do any outside stuff yet. I am sure the Queen has put her foot down where that is concerned.

Thinking of you.

Good Morning, Tony!

Seems many of us are tired of all these miserable, late seasoned snowfalls or storms. Glad you're able to resume blogging again after a needed two days sleep or rest and that the Queen has called on an experienced outside source to help with the removal of all that snow in your driveway, etc.!

We may be seeing about eight inches of what we call "heart attack snow" begin tomorrow afternoon and last till Friday. Thankfully, we have all our essential goods on hand and a working old snowblower. Hopefully, this heavy, wet stuff won't gum up the works or tire us out to collapse. Guess, all we can do is keep pacing ourselves as best as possible. Will be great when all this cold yukky white is able to finally dissolve to reveal greener earth and sprouts of spring.

Hope your spirits haven't been too dampened by recent health and weather related issues, and that better weather will bring a much needed uplift to you and us all!

I thought I posted yesterday! I know I did; WU must've ate it! I remember writing that I'd rather sleep for two days while sick, than be awake and suffer!

Glad you are doing better!

Good Morning, hope you had some good dreams with all that sleep. It's the only thing that makes my "sleep the entire day spells bearable.
Go slow and don't set time limits for getting projects done.

It's not looking very cheerful out that window. I imagine you and Abbey both are going to be ecstatic to see the first hints of real spring.

I hope you're feeling ok, still, and just are being lazy. Laziness is acceptable!
