SNOW + FRESH AIR = JOY

Yes, you guessed it right my loyal followers

♫♫♪•*¨*IT SNOWED AGAIN!! *¨*•♫♫♪

white fluffy powder snow

just enough to get me 

DISCOMBOBULATED!

enough to send me into orbit around the cherry tree

and prepare me for an unexpected trip to my favourite hill

~ MacDonald Hill ~

Jim is trying to knock the snow off the mugo pine

so that it will land on me!

~ AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN ~

I am too smart for his shenanigans.

Pawlease!

Jim headed inside MacDonald House,

it's Sunday ~ his day of work.

Ron and I will just take in this view

and watch the surfers.

This surfer's legs are covered in snow,

as I mentioned it snowed again last night.

 ~ Deep deep snow down the trail to the bluff ~

(Did I ever tell you I came upon a film crew here

a couple years ago,

 so being a friendly sort

I walked right in the middle of things and 

introduced myself.)

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!

Looky here the snow is beginning to melt

which truly is a good thing 

because 2 months of storms 9+ 

just about frays the nerves.

I heard the humans say.

Really this winter has been a long one but

for me an 8 year old DOODLE in love with LIFE

I can handle 2 months of snow,

since I have my chauffeurs ready 

whenever I need them.

SNOWMAN & NO SYMPATHY

We had another snowfall yesterday 

which really was quite beautiful,

all white and fluffy.

See my ear!?!

(Go on touch the screen ~

YES it is just as soft as you might think it would be!)

We edged along the roads to Dartmouth

and ended up at Birch Cove for a energy release

for me of course

and then it all started ~~~

~~~ they couldn't hit me with a snowball if they tried!

HA HA !!

Huh !?! What's happenin'!?!

What are you doing, Daddy Jimbo?

Do you need some help?

I real good at helpin'!

 Some Dads are just nutty

that's all I can say!

Hey, you know he looks pretty good like this

suits him to a T!!!!

Fake grin, Fake grin!!

This is what I have had to put up with all winter.

No sympathy!

I hear ya!!

OH LOLLI LOLLI LOLLI •*¨*•♫♪

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

.•*¨*•♫♪ sweetie than candy on a stick .•*¨*•♫♪

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

•*¨*•♫♪ POP ♫♪.•*¨*•

Seriously this is the way I see life!!

•*¨*•♫♪.•*¨*•♫♪.•*¨*•

ICE IS EVERYWHERE!!!!

My word, my world is covered,

smothered in ice

so thick

so slippery

so dangerous!

Did I ever tell you that "fear" 

is not part of my repertoire.

I am walking along the edge,

the very icy edge of the slope.

Why not!!?!

Oops, there goes my blond legs again,

slipping with pretty much every step.

A much needed break ~

I can run here without any worry of slipping.

My back hind appears to be taking off behind me!

Here's that super icy trail again.

Did I ever tell you that I can figure out things pretty quickly

as in walking along the edge of the ice

always works better than ~~

landing on your DOODLETUMMY 

with all your blond legs splayed out around you.

Once I realized that going over the edge could

be a possibility then I stepped much more carefully.

So glad you are on my side Daddy Jim,

I do believe I growing weary of this ICEWORLD.

Let's head back to the car, OK!?!

This will show you my ice world high on the hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean

on this rather calm, slightly overcast with sun pushing through day.

Look what I saw on the hill as I was working my way back to the car.

Beautiful but very strange indeed!

1000TH POST !!

My DOODLE Blog life
started here on May 11, 2010 

with
this No. 1 little ditty < click

Today I share with you my 1000th post since that day.

Who knew that I could write this much and
have this much DOODLE INFO to share?

The past year I slowed down a smidgen because
Daddy Ron got sick
and well you know
~ I have to be the caretaker and "take over" ~
Oh heck, I love doing that
wouldn't have it any other way,
It's all about priorities, right !?! Right!

So, my 8th birthday was on Ground Hog.
(oh BTW, he saw his shadow and we will be having
at least 6 more weeks of winter and snow)

We were wallopped with 3 storms already in the past 2 weeks with 2 more to come.

Come have a look at the ice!!

Our side yard in amongst the evergreens and birches
totally laden in ice.

I managed to squeeze under all the trees, shrubs and hanging branches
listening to the crackling sounds.

The clematis vines, so many vines
are completely encapsulated in thick ice.
Having fun with the orbs again
gives the ice a glasslike effect.

After surveying the yard
I came inside to discover
 this little box of goodies
~ all for me ~

~ from my favourite ~
all-time favourite doggy bakery
The Three Dog Bakery

I was allowed to look inside
and sniff

then this is what happened,

now who did that with my cookies?

 ~ even Ricky was in on the tease
not a peep from him either ~

See my nose pointing at the cookie?
The control one has to have
when silliness prevails.

Cookies are good you know!
I finished then grabbed a seat to watch
all the going-on
with the guy next door
who was kindly clearing out our driveway
and
the neighbour's parking lot.

I hope the next storms are not too bad.
Fingers crossed!

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, SORT OF

You would be surprised at the little things that amuse one,

like learning to spell using the lights 

of  a building at dusk.

Yep, that's my name written in the skies ~

using these lights one evening last September.

The other day when the sun was setting again ~

while sitting patiently in the car

I practiced my spelling again ~

with much more vigour.

I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Don't you?!
