Back To Normal

 

 

Well thats all the hoopla of Christmas and the new year done and now all is back to normal  , Papa is at work and Miggs and I are back into our daily routine .  We have had the odd snow squall here and there and the ground is frozen now but still no snow laying on it  , we are still green  and no sun was to be had for over a week but I see the sun rising this morning in the far south east and it is a welcomed sight .  The past few days the birdies have been far and few between at the feeders but  yesterday they all showed up at the feeders feasting like mad !

JANUARY 2016 (8 of 14)

There are a mix of Goldfinch and Pine Siskens here and well the little Red Breasted Nut hatch showed up there to check out what a all the commotion is about , this is the first time this year I have seen the little guy  we have had 3 of  his cousins the White Breasted Nuthatch here since the beginning of the season  .  I love all the birdies we have here .

I am still a bit dizzy every now and then especially when laying down and on my back and I roll from my left side to my right never had this before maybe I have a pinched nerver or I do infact have an inner ear thing going on but I have no pain in my ear  weird it is ,  other then this I feel  pretty good , I will be making an appointment with our family  Dr  to get it checked out if I can get in, sometimes it can take a week or more  which is absoloutly nuts . Oh well .

                           Whilst we had snow squalls and windy cold conditions over the weekend Miggs was doing this .

JANUARY 2016 (12 of 14)

                                        Lack of sun shine  gets to our pets sometimes and they can get the winter BLAHS ! .

But  she is not laying about this morning  as the sun is shining Miggs is outside keeping an eye on the yard and chasing a squirrel right now up the tree lol  oh it is good to get back to nornmal again lol !

The days are getting lighter longer bit by bit and there are more things to photograph now to  . I am now thinking of my gardens as to what and where I want to plant more perennials . In the spring we will be building a white picket fence corner garden that Papa already has made and it is all sitting in his work shop waiting till spring .  Papa finished one side of the laundry/mudroom painting the panneling but where he will be putting the storage cupbords he will have to remove the panneling and put up gyprock walls cause they are stronger for holding up the cabinets and smoother for paining  so that will be an on going project for the rest of this season as Papa  works during the week  and only has the evenings and weekends to do it   , me I am no good at painting or building stuff like this   so I leave it up to him to get the job done right !

         Well thats it for me today  . Miggs and I are going for our walk  gona have to bundle up as it is cold out there- 10°C Feels like –18°C or  14°F Feels like 0°F  BRR !!  Then I must get some house cleaning done , it just doesnt cut it being down ill  for almost a week  for me I get behind on things and have to make up for it all lol  .

                                                                               Until next time .

We Welcome 2016

 

Happy New Year Everyone !

Well  .. we are in another new year , how about that . The end of last year 2015 was a bit rough for me as I was ill near the end of it but feeling better day by day  all though still have a bit of dizzyness here and there  mum always said I was a bit of a dizzy Lizzy  lol   or  more like a wirl wind  lol ! We figure it was a combination of vertigo caused with and by a virus  , apparently the virus is going around .

Any who  I am  looking forward to this new year  . Papa has already started off the new year by giving my mud/laundry room a face lift  by painting the dark paneling white  then  a bit later on  he will be building  white cupboards on both sides of the  room  like a huge  wrap around pantry with a coat and boot closet  through out  as well so looking forward to that when it is all done , one can never have to much storage space  I think  lol . 

We still dont have much snow yet either just a dusting that has already some what melted from yesterdays snow squals .

JANUARY 2016 (3 of 4)

There really hasn’t been much to photograph as the weather has been quite gloomy and cold and even the birdies have been scares from the feeders which is odd .  Miggs has been enjoying the cold and the odd snow squall here and there !

DECEMBER 2015 (5 of 5)-3

She just finished rolling here and something across the yard caught her attaention as she stands and watches looking like a rag a muff  lol ! Miggs is going to the groomers next weekend to have a bath and get that shaggyness cleaned up ! It will be her first groom of the new year .

So do any of you have plans for the new year , planning your gardens already maybe  or any DIY in the works  or just going with the flow ?

As for me I am just going with the flow for the most part  kind of play each day out as it comes lol ! I find for me the days , months and years go by so fast so I dont want to rush them by planning to much to far ahead lol !

Any who I hope all had a safe and happy new year  and hope this year is full of  good health  and new and exciting adventures for all of us to enjoy and share  .

                                                                                 Until next time .
