Winter arrives at last

So far we really haven’t had a winter. Yes we have had cold weather, sometimes very cold, but we have had very little snow. In fact this is the least snowy winter we have had since being here. However, winter has finally arrived. It started snowing on Monday evening, then turned to rain on Tuesday, but last night the snow started and it hasn’t stopped so far. The weather man said we might get 20cm over the next few days.

This is what our garden looks like at the moment.

Last night we also had the deer wander through and because it wasn’t yet dark I managed to get some photos.

I seemed to have pressed the shutter just as something spooked them…

We went to Kingston yesterday and purchased some new fish for our tank. They are very pretty and I will try to get some photos of them to blog soon. At the moment they are still a bit shy and skittish, so I will wait until they are more settled before making them pose for the camera!

Also, last week we went to Toronto for the Autoshow. We took some photos but I have not had time to look at them and get them on my blog. Maybe soon.

Christmas Eve and all is well

Well, Christmas is finally here. We will definitely have a white Christmas tomorrow as there is still plenty of snow on the ground. It looks like the temps are going to warm up so they seem to think we will have rain rather than snow tomorrow.

Went out shopping for groceries this morning and we missed all the crowds which was good. So last minute grocery shopping turned out to be fairly painless.

Here is a photo of our back garden at the moment – plenty of snow about.

And here is our resident Hairy Woodpecker

The next time I write Christmas will be over.

So, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.
