weather - snow and relaxing

So, still in Hamilton and back at the mother-in-law's. We just sorted out her turntable, just needed a power supply for the pre-amp. We are now listening to the Hits of the Blitz. It is quite soothing with all the snow coming down the last several hours.

I love snow, but I generally hate shovelling. Yet, today I have shovelled two driveways and had great fun. It was quite relaxing as well. I love big, heavy snowfalls. It is extremely beautiful when everything gets a coating of white. The roads are no longer filthy and slushy (for a while). The farm fields are great vistas of alabaster. The trees turn into cloudy puffballs.

Hey! I just saw a cardinal in the backyard!! One of my favourite birds. A handsome devil.

This is what Sunday afternoons should be about. Relaxing, listening to mellow music, enjoying nature, maybe a read, small fun chores.

The snow has slackened off and I have just been outside filling all the birdfeeders around the house. So, I am going to sign-off and get a book and read and glance up every now and again to enjoy the birds feeding and flitting around. You should too.

Enjoy the show nature has to offer.
