SNOWHEART 4 U

So this is what happened in the last 24 hours.

A MAJOR SNOW DUMP

a late winter sky-opening snow cover

as big as all get out!

The winds blew and howled drifting so much snow.

covering absolutely everything

almost covering up our blue/green horse weather vane

on the clematis covered driveway fence

This is truly the 1st time in my 8 years

that I have ever had to deal with this amount and height of snowbanks.

But when a girl has to go ~~~

well, a dame has to relieve herself ~~~

underneath my favourite snow-peaked birdhouse

(only one here 

even if it looks like 2)

But with all this surprise of white fluffies,

look what I found just for you guys!

A SNOWHEART on our pear tree!

(will this make the pear blossoms come sooner?)

Here I am foraging my way through the snow drifts out our back door!

(You'll see the SNOWHEART to the right near the end!)

 Mid-March in Nova Scotia!

It's either cold 

or some form of snow!

No wonder School Break is this week.

Really they don't know what they are missing!

OH LOLLI LOLLI LOLLI •*¨*•♫♪

.•*¨*•♫♪  sweeter than apple pie .•*¨*•♫♪

.•*¨*•♫♪ like lightning from the sky •*¨*•♫♪

•*¨*•♫♪ POP ♫♪.•*¨*•

Seriously this is the way I see life!!

MR. ORANGIE'S PLIGHT

Mr. Orangie helps me keep my composure

most of the time

but when the ocean beckons well

we rocket over the dunes together always waiting

which allows enough time to sniff out something/anything



that may have been washed up on the shore





we know that there's something intriguing here

but all we get is SNOWBALL MOUTH this time of year



Oh Mr. Orangie you don't think you are going to get away from me today do you?

Such is Mr. Orangie's plight

with so many rocks stopping Mr. Orangie's get-away fast

Somebody has to be in control in this DOODLE WORLD, eh!?!



ALL THIS BECAUSE OF A CROW ~~~~

One crow sitting alone on the railing

Took off without detailing

That I should be careful on this beach

Because strange happenings not far out of reach

 Can bring freezing winds like yesterday's post

Stirring up that ol' Frisky Ghost

That keeps an eye on unsuspecting landlubbers

wishing they had forgotten their rubbers

But alas this time I don't need my BOOTIES

 Covering up these blond beauties.

CLIFFHANGER, SORT OF ~~~

OK, this weekend the guys took me, and now you, to a new spot

at the very end of our harbour and peninsula, called 

Herring Cove Provincial Park Reserve.

.

This is the spot where cruise ships round the corner

on their journey along our province

and head into the city of Halifax.

Yes, the rocks are everywhere in Nova Scotia

and in this case careful footing with the snow and ice.

I'm standing on a high vantage point

surveying my new surroundings ~~

and the mighty wind is

lip smackin' fierce!

I've scouted ahead and figured out which route to take.

Even my speed in the snow doesn't curb me from fear.

Look!

The grass is camouflage grass

(same colour as my naturally blond tips)

but my feet are getting bunged up with mini-snowballs.

Uhm, guys where are my PURPLE BOOTIES?

Since they forgot them,

I'll keep scurrying around,

like a DOODLE POSSESSED!

(here's a windy sightly noisy view of my new fave place)

I heard the guys say that they would bring me back in the spring

when the rocks aren't so treacherous.

No real cliff hanger

other than what could have happened 

if I had slipped

but relax folks,

I didn't.

OZZIE, NOT OSBOURNE THOUGH !!!

What in the world is that barreling towards Jim?

Nose diving into the snow, 

what would seem to be a camouflage technique

because I don't see him at all now,

do you?

Oh, there he is!

That's Ozzie ~~~

and look Ozzie has on GREEN BOOTIES

just like my stylin' PURPLE BOOTIES!!

(you'll like this one guaranteed)

DOODLE DANCING

is our specialty

and usually ends up with the pawticipants

panting and pretty wiped out!

Hey look it's MR. ORANGIE!

(the human version)

Ozzie's Dad is mighty cool,

and because he's so friendly

I'm going to set things straight

with a lick and DOODLE BOUNCE or two or three!
