Snow Storm

Yes, we now have snow! There is more to come. Kirk gave me the forecast.

Right now, Kirk is shovelling snow very slowly. I warned him to take his time and not to exert himself. (the heart situation is always on my mind)

In the mean time, I have been cooking up a storm. It serves two purposes; heats the house and more food than we can eat. The dehydrator is a great heat source. Kirk now has bags of venison jerky. The oven is the best heat source. Baking tuna casseroles and bread. (items on my menu) Stove top is good too. Venison stew is a hit.

I think I'm gaining weight. I should be the one shovelling snow but Kirk says he needs the exercise. Yes and no. I did get plenty of exercise when working at IGA. Now, getting dressed to go outside and undressed to go inside is the chore. Putting boots on and off wear me out. I think we should put a chair in the garage just for boot removal while wearing 5 layers of clothing.

We are glad that we don't have to go anywhere. Kirk's trip to the shop, over a few snow drifts, is as far as he wants to go and I only go there when he calls for help or to take the dogs out which are real short and fast trips.

Ah, winter in Canada, got to love it. Can't leave it.
