From Our Windows ,Cold & Snowy

 

Well .. I think winter is defiantly here even though it officially starts on the 21st by the calendar but good old mother nature says other wise .

It has been cold -4°C Feels like –11  to –18 or 25°F Feels like 14 or less with snow squalls and high winds . But yesterday the sun popped out for a bit as it was rising amongst all the big heavy snow clouds .

                                     I like how the sun looks at sun rise and sun set in the cold air !

                       The sun didn’t last long as these great big snow filled clouds rolled in !

Then the clouds let loose  and the winds were howling . White outs every where !

                          And of course you know who just had go out in it all to investigate !

The wood stove was going and I was taking photos through the windows as it was snowing and blowing trying to get Miggs to come in .

I finally got Miggs to come in after all the calling and bribing I could think of lol  She is stubborn when she doesn't want to come in .

She was covered in snow and not very happy she had to come in as she loves being out there but the winds were gusting by this point and it was to  cold .

Then I asked Miggs if she wants a treat well then that was a different story as she woofed yes !

Today has heavy dark clouds over head and snowing and to be snowing all day and through tomorrow , so I think we will just get cozy watch yet again more Christmas movies and enjoy the winter wonderland from out windows .

                                     Until next time … Have a cozy weekend !

Vastly Diminishing

 

Is the delivery of  home postal service and more . The  days of receiving mail at your door is gone and  so is greeting a mail carrier bringing it to your home and having a chat as they hand you your mail . The search for that perfect mail box or even building one  that suits your home and personality  is gone , out dated  and demised .

Whilst here in Canada the home delivery dwindles  fast and large community mail boxes like these ugly ones are put up in each town , village and city .

As so many people in the postal service are pushed out more and more by the modern world of e-cards and  the internet and soon there will be no human postal  delivery service left  as they are talking about the futuristic life of computer remote controlled droids delivering all mail . I think it all has gone totally  POSTAL !!!   I mean they get rid of home delivery , build these huge mail boxes that hold so many and in one spot and have us travel to them . They  have upped the price of stamps and  are getting rid of the workers , I mean what’s with that ? what is this world coming to ? I just wish certain things were  left alone  and stop taking our way of life and doing away with things in hopes for a better future !   key word HOPES !!!! Nothing was wrong with the way things were so stop trying to fix what ain’t broke or change our ways of life  . Sure there are changes in life that’s a given but holly molly give it all a rest .  Our future generations will never get to know what it is like to send or even hand write a card or get that personal  feeling from a card in their hands  much like the demise of the paperback book , or pen to paper , oh don't get me started on that lol  one that some one took the time and effort to shop for write and put in the mail box and send it to them or have it delivered by a friendly mail carrier to their home  .

I am all for the internet as I enjoy this blogging  and sending the odd e-mail but for cards  and do away with hard working people for it   NO !!  , I mean why don't we just have  the best of both worlds new and old . Have you ever seen the TV show Revolution , yeah that could happen no electronics what so ever then were the e-card , e-mails    be , right back to the old ways !  I opt to keeping the old ways alive as well and for as long as I can  . Never say never my mum always told me !

                                  

                              Just my rant for today ! as stamps went up to 85 cents to a $1 !  Mail robbery I say !

                                                        Until next time … Have a good day !
