My Monday Walk on Tuesday

….thanks to Jo for hosting Jo’s Monday Walk

There was no time for a walk yesterday. My day started with making bread dough for Wednesday’s bake at Montgomery’s Inn and weighing and mixing 41 pounds of dried fruits for about 100 Christmas cakes. After that I drove home, picked up my neighbour and drove to Shuffle and Play for two and half hours of Bridge. Following that the two of us headed over to the hospital to visit a neighbour who’s been experiencing some health issues. Once home we went to see another neighbour to bring her up to date on what we saw and discussed at the hospital.

When all was said and done it was dinnertime and then it was dark….not ideal for going on a walk and taking photos.

Today, however, was a mild and sunny day. Perfect for walking with the dog and taking photos of the neighbourhood.IMG-4538

Temperatures are Still Below Normal

….so the snow is still on the ground

Earlier in the week we experienced a snow storm that broke all kinds of records for November 12th. Usually when snow falls this early it doesn’t last more than a day but there was a lot of it and the seasonal temperatures are well below normal. The seasons are all confused. There are still leaves on the trees but today many of them decided it was time to come down. It’s quite strange seeing leaves on top of snow.P1080566

The snow certainly has put some people in the Christmas spirit and decorations are starting to appear in the city.IMG-4467
