Starting March 1st...I had the pleasure of spending some time with my aunt and a cousin...We don't see eachother often, as we don't go into Montreal very often. My aunt just turned 88 yrs old ..we could all be so lucky to be in her shape at that age. She has a busier social life then most ppl I know. She also sings in a chior and seems to always be on the go. It keeps her young at heart and always a pleasure to spend time with. My cousin is near my age and we all 3 have birthdays close to eachother, so this was a birthday lunch for all of us lol.
Then wednesday, the 5th came so this is my 45th bday photo. Chris and I were just on our way out. We went to a nice dinner then off to the Montreal Casino...unlike the last few yrs when I won money ...this year, unfortunately I didn't. I did win lots of extra credits in the machines enabling me to play much longer but alas thats all lol. The important thing is we had lots of fun....till next yr.
I have that ...Deer caught in the headlights look, on this pic.....
So we come to this weekend. Another major blizzard...worst so far. Lastnight march 8th. We have reached aprox 350 centimetres of snow fall so far...do the math lol, or better yet....
We opened the door this ...this sunday morn....
Oy, were to put it all lol....This on the backdeck is just lastnights snowfall....Here u see our Rae shovelling (he loves to shovel, this yr he has really kept in shape with the help of Chris ofcourse lol)...notice also the hight of the snow at the back of the yard, its to the fense...and our deck hight is over 3 feet off the ground.....
I titled this pic as I GIVE UP! lol....
I thought I would remind you what the yard looks like WITHOUT all this snow.......so BEFORE....
And NOW......since the above pic, we even removed a layer up of the hanging branches on the pine tree..
And before.......
And .....NOW....
With as much snow fallen this yr, we now hope to break the 30 some year record....there hasnt been this much since 70's...so hopefully we can break that, ...hell we deserve it after all this shoveling!! I have to admit, I haven't done any myself....(um, to busy in the house working? yeah thats it>>>I am sticking to that excuse)...
Hard to believe spring is a few days away lol....we advanced our clocks this weekend...atleast it wont get so dark , so early.......I am so looking forward to our trip...and I am sure, the snow will still be here by the time we leave...maybe not as much...but still....

Moon, when all that snow melts, you may be flooded!! I am sure glad I don't have all that to contend with.
You and your relatives all look very nice in the photos, but I'm wondering why you are "cut off" in the top pic?
Thanks Kenju, ...as for the photo, this blog, somehow always cuts off part of the pic, and small size is to small, so just have to click on the pic to see it bigger if u want.
thinking bbbbbbrrrrrrrr.... give me my spring and Autumn...
mind you could make money if you shipped the snow in bottles.. some places over here could use the water..lol
Looks like the movie The Shining, I am hoping that spring will come early for you or you hit the record of snow fall which ever comes first. Pics looks good.
Hugs

So, let me get this right... We have 3 things in common.
1 - we're both heading off to Europe/Paris next month.
2 - you share the same name with my daughter.
3- we are both March 5th girls.
Fancy that hey???
Happy Birthday Moon - sorry it is late. My aunt is still alive in Rhode Island. It's my birthday on Saturday and I wish I could see her. So if one doesn't like snow I suppose one would avoid living in Canada but what I saw of it I loved and the air was crystal clear.
BTW you always look beautiful on your photographs and when you say you look startled it's because of 'red eye'. Usually you can adjust the camera to avoid this but another way is to look at a bright light before the shot is taken. That's the sitter I mean - not the photographer:)
Moon you are looking absolutely gorgeous love ;)
I hope you have a great trip.
Oh I lost that link you gave me when I went to find it that night so Ry and I could watch that thing ya told me to watch. :( Could ya send it to me again hon ;)
I hope to the gods that I look as great at 45 as you do *big hugs to you and Chris*
Good grief, that snow is deep adn what a contrast to those other summery pictures!
Your aunt sounds like an amazing lady! I am glad you were able to have a good time visiting :)
