Bragging about the weather.

I was going to post this photo yesterday to brag about how nice it is here on the island. A view of the riding stables across the street from me.


But that was yesterday. This is today 22 hours later.

Down your way, it's probably going to be green again tomorrow and mowing by Saturday.......

I like Winnipegs predictability. Today the ground is covered in snow, tomorrow it will be too. It might even still be covered until May.

Hmmm. Better put the charger on the garden tractor then.

Yeah but you don't have this to go with the snow!

Looks like the Keating area, we're pretty much the same out E Sooke way, but I bet your power is on. We're averaging one power outage a day so far this year. Frustrating as I have some surface grinder work to do but don't dare to as my chuck is electric.

Thank you. And we have a window on entertainment watching cars try and get up the hill on the backside of the house. It's really funny when one slides sideways into the 'going down lane' while the other trying now to pass it in the 'going up lane' also suddenly stops and then can't get moving again. Road now totally blocked. The sound of wheel spinning is muffled by the triple pane windows but still amusing to watch.

And we don't have to buy a ticket to watch...

Well it's Saturday. And yes the temperature was up to +6C but I couldn't find the lawn under all that white stuff. So no mowing today.

Too bad you don't live on the steep side! I can imagine the entertainment over there!

Ha ha. That means I have to find the tractor too. I know I put a tarp over it... I suppose I should look for blue...

.... climate change, I suppose.

Winter isn't as bad so long as you're prepared for it.

Ah, Duckboy postcards. Some of my favorite: https://www.duckboy.com/shop/

See 'em in Montana in a lot of places.
