Snow!!!

For the first time in many years, it looks like a white Christmas is pretty well guaranteed for us. We got dumped on last night, about 8 inches of snow in one night. I know that may not seem like a lot to some of you, depending where you are from, but for this city, it’s a major storm. And I’m lovin’ it. Ok sure, being in a wheelchair it means I am trapped in my driveway unless I use the van. And it means I can’t go to Starbucks at work, unless I send out a scout to let me know if the sidewalks between us and them have all been shovelled. But hey, it sure looks perty!

Speaking of looking perty, Kelly posted her first video today! After coming in from a walk in the snow, she felt energized and ready for me to set up the camera. You all finally get to see how absolutely adorable she is, and why I know I am the luckiest man alive. If you check it out you get to hear my voice too, a little bonus treat.

While the video was uploading, I went out to help with the final cleanup of our driveway. My neighbour and his son came over to do the brunt of the work and I just did a bit of cleanup. Just to give you an idea of what it looks like, here’s a picture of our front yard, facing my neighbour.

I came back in just as the sky was clearing and the sun was setting. A quick glance out of our patio door at the back of the house provided this view of what mother nature painted on her canvas for us.

Kelly made another wonderful dinner for us tonight. Lamb with a spinach and artichoke heart casserole. I am stuffed. Back to work tomorrow. Four day week. Coasting to the holidays. Life is good.
