Let the Plowing Begin!!!

What an awesome sight out of my studio window last night.

Winter has decided to make another entrance this month, and a very loud entrance this time.

I was looking out my studio window while I finished up my order of 50 handmade Christmas Tags for a local business The Banana Basket, and I could see the snow whisping its way across the roof tops.

I felt like I was looking out at the base of a mountain, and those of you who live at the base of a mountain, I'm sure you're giggling to yourself now....LOL

As much as I despise the cold, the slippery walkways and slick roads, the 4 foot drifts at the end of the driveway and the nuisance of piling on all that winter gear...... I do think Winter is pretty.

With its sparkle, its fresh fallen snow in the morning covering a multitude of sins, and with the power in the wind that gives goose bumps and not from the cold.

Ah Winter is here once again for another season!!!!

I just heard the first plow of the season go up the street...{{{brrrrr}}}

**Earth Quake and Tornado**in one day

I would never of thought!!!!

First there was felt the effects of an earthquake that hit Ottawa this afternoon, apparently my neighbours felt furniture shake and had Nick-knacks slide off shelves. I was driving home from ladies group and didn't feel a thing.

Then sometime between 6-7:00p.m. an apparent (environment Canada is here today to determine) TORNADO ripped through Midland. Thank goodness that it hit a mostly industrial area...Smith's Trailer Park was in the path and reports have it that at least 40 trailers are totalled.... one picture had them all smashed into one another like fallen domino's.

There are reports that 10 people are injured and have been treated, and thank goodness that as far as I know there are NO fatalities.

This kind of weather mayhem just doesn't happen around here, it was (is) very freaky.

Of course my mind started questioning WHY???? What the heck has changed in the atmosphere (spiritual)...then DING!!!!

We are hosting the G8 and the G20 this week.... delegates started arriving YESTERDAY (same day). Maybe there is a connection, maybe not...

Well our Major has issued a "State of Emergency", a large section of town is without power do to so many fallen lines.

My family and I have power, and I have to remind myself that just 6 minutes the other way, the town is upside down....

Tom Brokaw's View on Canada :0)

My daughter and her best mate are headed to Niagara Falls today for the opening of Hart & Huntington....on route they have come across another display of honor for our fallen soldiers... she emailed me these two photos...

Rumour has it that the Broadcast company FOX... has said some unpleasant things about Canada and her fallen children....

I have chosen NOT to view the statement, instead I have found a very delightful view of my home from Tom Brokaw (an Olympic broadcast).
