GENTLE BREEZES BLOW

Just read this in an e-mail:

It's winter here in Canada
And the gentle breezes blow
Umpteen miles an hour,
at thirty-five below.
Oh, how I love this Canada
when the snow's up to your butt,
You take a breath of winter
and your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
so I guess I'll hang around,
...I could never leave Canada, 
cuz I'm frozen to the ground!

It's been freezing around here, too! 19F last night; supposed to be 14F tonight! Definitely much colder than usual!

In Mongolia, our eyelashes and hair would freeze on our way to church. Yikes!

This is cool....
It could very well be written about the state of Colorado Winters here in USA too.

But I like the Canadian version.

And your 'update' is sooooooooo wonderful to read.

Oh darlin', I can identify with the poem. There have been days out there doin' chores that the ice crystals form on my lashes and the tears freeze to my cheeks but today is not one of 'em.

I chored today a sunny 53 degree day. It's wonderful out there!

Have a blessed week sweetie!!! :o)

Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later.

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own!

The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...
