Still Walkin in a Winter Wonderland
This is the winter that never ends - and I love it! I know a lot of people are complaining, but I figure if I live in Canada and winter is one of our glorious seasons, then let it snow to show for it! We have just been through another day and a half of snow (approximately 25-30 cm in the GTA and 50 cm in the Niagara area). I went shopping on Friday and have hunkered down for the weekend. I have tried to upload some pictures but had no luck for the past two days. I will try again soon.
On Saturday night Don and I went for a walk around the neighbourhood at 11:30. It's a great time for a wlak because no one is around. As we went down one street we heard a lot of arguing. We stopped to listen since we were not sure if it was people joking around or not. Well, it was not. There was one man and two women screaming. We had to do something, so Don walked to the door and knocked. The teenage girl who lived in the house was attacking the man of the house with her mother in the middle. There were tears and angry words but with Don and I there eventually there was some semblance of calm when the girl took off in the family car. Rather than finish our walk Don and I went home and called the police. Our conscience just couldn;t ignore what we saw and heard. The family is known to the police and we were told they would check in on the situation. I wonder what ended up happening...

i can tell you what happened - the girl went home within a day or two and the whole thing will happen again. sure makes you grateful for what you have
Snow....what it that? We had two little dustings this year, if that is what you could call it. For us, spring is arriving.
I love the snow. If we don't much of it, at least I want the sun - that's what we get a lot of here in Southern Alberta. The temps have been so warm that the trees are budding and the bulbs are popping up.
Thanks for being a "neighbour" in your community. It is one's business to know that our neighbours are safe.
I hope things turned out okay for your neighbors.
There's more snow in front of your house than we've seen in Washington over seven winters!
