This has been a particularly tough winter this year. Sooo much snow and prolonged windchills in the -30s and -40s °C. March is typically our snowiest month, but Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb has seen more snow than ever. My Canadian fortitude is waning, and I am so done with this. 🥹

What an insanely brutal winter this has been so far. -20s. Has snowed every single day. My fence is 5 ft high, and my dog can walk over it. 80 km/hr winds on a regular basis. No sun. This Canadian can't take much more, and it is only January.

The last 10 weeks have been the coldest, windiest, cloudiest, and most early winter weather I have experienced in the last 40 years. I shoveled every day in November, and almost every day in December. I live in one of the sunniest places in Canada, yet it has been cloudy for weeks. I need sunshine!

Oh my! Is that blue sky, I see?

My husband sent me this. He said, "It is very fitting."

I am so done with shoveling snow, and it isn't even winter yet. Sigh.

If I am a Telus customer, and my bill is paid up to date, is it reasonable to block them because they are calling 3X a day?

I was making tuna melts. Turned to see this guy sitting at the kitchen island waiting for his share. He isn't allowed to have it, but I think the person who relinquished him to the vet before I adopted him used to feed it to him. He will come from a different floor to ask for some.

My cat just tried to kill me. I was carrying something heavy and could not see the floor in front of me. He decided that it was time to feed him at that very moment and wrapped himself in my legs. I am still alive, but I hurt my back. My perfect form for heavy carrying was ruined. Cat is still alive

This!

I have another frog to eat today, but I just spent 3 hours doing a neighbour's farm chores while they're having cancer treatment. Do I procrastinate eating my frog because there is snow coming, and they might not make it back in time to do evening chores, and go do their stuff again instead?

Yes to Cotton Candy grapes! Oh my...where has they been all my life? Costco has them.

I have a frog to eat today, and no spoons with which to do it.

I am still a little shy to post on here. I will post pics of some of my critters,ask for recommendations.. but after X, I am extremely reluctant to voice an opinion or comment on something for fear of being attacked. I know how to block. They've worn me down and into silence. I don't have the energy
