What The Heck?


We live in Victoria...it's not supposed to snow here!  There is more snow on the roads than there is on the grassy areas. 
Here is Noodles running around with Janet's sock just prior to going for a walk.  She managed to get both of the socks all damp and mushy.  Janet was too lazy to go get a new pair, so opted to go outside in the snow in dog slobbered socks!

Here we are, acting like perfect angels.  Janet made us sit for the photo, and forever the hopefuls, we assumed she had cookies for us.  Wrong....she's probably cranky because her feet are wet and cold.
 In our walk 'round the 'hood this morning, we saw three taxis!  That is amazing as we almost never see taxis near our house.  We heard Phil say people here aren't experienced in driving in the snow.  Phil likes to maintain that he can drive in any conditions as he's from Alberta and grew up driving on snowy roads.  He forgets that he has been in Victoria for the last 27 years and perhaps his snow driving skills are a tad rusty?
These are Janet's formerly pretty primula flowers.
Janet's friend Lolo will vouch for us when we say our house is cold....even when it's not cold outside, it's cold in here. Our house is 98 years old and we guess "back in the day" heat was probably cheap.  Not only that, but we guess Janet and Phil are used to the temperature inside.
Today, however, it must be cold even by  their incredibly low standards.  Phil put up some "weatherstripping" on the kitchen door.
