It’s Valentine’s Day!! And another snowy day on the weekend.
That’s ok…no big plans today. My sweet Valentine is working a 12 hour shift today and tomorrow and I’m staying cozy inside curled up drinking coffee, having a few treats and reading a good book. Just a wonderful relaxing day.
Happy Valentine’s Day…I hope you are enjoying some special moments with your loved ones!
Tonight we were sitting down for dinner getting ready to eat and I looked outside and saw the MOST beautiful sight…
You have to be pretty quick to catch them! They visit us often, usually in the wee hours of the morning sometimes in the backyard and sometimes under the crab trees in the front yard.
Thanks for stopping by!
Cozy inside…it’s a BLIZZARD out there!
Yesterday these were the headlines for Nova Scotia…schools were cancelled, flights cancelled and delayed, Facebook was a buzz with people posting questions and comments as to whether the storm had started. It was windy, very windy all morning as we waited…
and waited… and at about 1:30pm yesterday it started. Snow and wind and yes siree, a good old fashioned East Coast Maritime Blizzard. It snowed and blowed all night!!
So today, again, there’s no school and we are cozy inside ( after shovelling) Well, I didn’t shovel this one. David had to work early so he was up at 3am snow blowing and a little guy came knocking on our door this morning wanting to shovel the driveway so James hired him! And then James went out and helped him and they did the back deck instead. We paid him ( gotta encourage them when they’re young) and then James finished the driveway with the snow blower.
So now, we are cozy inside eating pancakes with maple syrup because it’s Tuesday and it’s Shrove Tuesday aka Pancake Tuesday! Yum!
The sun is shining and everything is melting…ENJOY your storm day!
It’s that time of year…Super Bowl Sunday!
The Denver Broncos meet The Carolina Panthers.
Lady Gaga sang the National Anthem!
Got my jersey on ( ok so sadly Cowboys aren’t playing, but it’s all I got lol) ✓
Got some eats ✓
Let’s Go Broncos!!! 🏈
Great commercials ✓ Love the commercials.
My 2016 favourite…The Honda truck with the Goats
An AWESOME half time show ✓ Cold Play…Bruno Mars…and Beyonce
And the winner of Super Bowl 50 is…The Denver Broncos!!!! 24-10
It’s sure been a busy day! Goodnight all.
Some days I miss China more than others and today is one of them. So even though it is Super Bowl Sunday here in Canada and I am anticipating watching the game later (and will make some fun treats for that. It will be a two post day) it was all about Chinese New Year’s Eve.
This is the biggest holiday in China and the New Year’s Eve Family Reunion meal, CCTV New Year’s Eve Gala and Fireworks is “the thing to do” on this evening, which is actually morning and noon time here. So we did. I watched the Gala LIVE, and made some of our favourites including jiaozi, we lit sparklers before our meal ( fireworks is tradition ) and enjoyed our favourites. James even got a red envelope ( hong bao) because he is “young” and also because it is his year… The year of the Monkey. I also chatted and called a few of my Chinese friends and family. I’m so thankful for technology and excellent internet for live streaming.
Oh how I miss China…新年快乐！
I’ll take it!

February 5, 2015…not so nice
Have a good weekend! It’s the start of Spring Festival/Lunar New Year in China, Carnaval in Brazil and it’s Super Bowl Sunday! LOTS of fun!!!
No Shadow!!! And what that means is…
It’s Groundhog Day and Shubencadie Sam, the local rodent Spring predictor, didn’t see his shadow this morning and go scurrying back in to his borrow. So…
It’s an EARLY SPRING folks!!!! Yay!!
It’s February! The short month ( well not this year) It’s a new month and my January Photo Challenge is finished. I have to say I enjoyed it for the month of January. It was different just to post a picture with no words. It kinda takes the “pressure” off, not that there’s any real pressure to blog, but January is … well, it’s January…you know…
So with January 2016 behind us , here’s to a brand new month. Have a terrific Month of February!!
See you soon ❤
PS~ So I just had to add to this post. It feels like Spring has sprung this afternoon! Sun shining, warm temperatures, a little breezy… wow, what a great 1st day of February.
