There is a comedian I think they call him Tatortot who made a joke one time about people tying themselves to trees and such during a hurricane, he made the point that it wasn't that the wind was blowing but what the wind was blowing, you know things like cars and such flying around. Well I tried to grab a door from the wind the other day and got a reminder of how strong that wind is when it slammed the door into my hand. Nothing is broken but it certainly is bruised really good.

We had a pretty awesome day yesterday as far as weather was concerned too, we had what they were calling a weather bomb. Apparently there was thunder and lightening early in the morning followed by rain, then hail, then snow and finally some serious sunshine. Apparently the worst of the weather hit Nova Scotia, PEI and Norther NB not sure how southern NB managed to miss all the excitement but I'm not complaining either.

This morning we watched two deer grazing on the front lawn for about ten minutes. I never even thought to try and get a picture unfortunately. There were two squirrels playing in the maples out front as well. I love living here, we have had deer, moose, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, foxes, rabbits, snakes and bears on our lawn at different times. The moose was actually checking out the compost pile a couple weeks ago, wonder if he found anything tasty.

Today I saw a video on pinterest about waterfall braids and of course I tried in on little punkin's hair. I don't think it works quite the same with curly hair but it certainly is interesting looking. A couple hours late she had most of the 'waterfall' parts pulled out of it. I put a french braid in it awhile ago and it was really adorable looking. She had a hard time staying still for this so one side looked decidedly better than the other. This video does a really great job of explaining how to do it if you are interested.

Expelliarmus! Nice to see that happy little face, Rolana!

Photo shoot. She's a pretty happy kid most days.

i think maybe my little monkey is putting a spell on somebody. This is a shot her sister took during one of their 'photo shoots.' She has gotten pretty relaxed around a camera, mind you big sister will take a couple hundred pics in a couple days.

I really think this blog is kind of ugly but can't find anyway to change the layout or colour, how sad is that??

Well emailing it worked, but it's pretty small :( can you get emoticons for your blog?? Does anybody know????

What a lot of snow out there but it is so pretty. I keep thinking I want to take my camera out and take some pictures, but I'm such a wimp when it comes to the cold. I'm trying to upload a picture of Scruffy smiling, its one of my favourite pictures of her.

I really need to add a Canadian dictionary to Firefox because I try not to use American spelling and I hate those squiggly red lines under my words.

Well we are a good bunch only took me two weeks to see your post :) Must be a way to set this to get an email notice of an update somewhere, then they might get read in a more timely fashion. Ande, I am home most of the time so feel free to call me or stop by anytime.

Anyone watched any good movies lately?? I'm looking forward to seeing Due Date and the new Harry Potter movie. I really wish we had a theatre in town, so silly having to drive an hour and a half to go to a show.

I hate that blogger picks on my Canadian spelling, does this bother anyone else or am I unique??

LOL - Funny that you should ask!
I just came on blogger to update my personal blog - twice a year,eh...nice. :) Are you busy Friday night? You should come by for a drink. In fact, I may even get off my ass and call you. I am having my one year CT scan to look for tumor reoccurrence.
