This was a bit of a boring week in that nothing terribly interesting happened. Friday was Remembrance Day/James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement anniversary. As a result Friday was a holiday and it was only a 4 day week at school.
On Friday I went in to school to try and get some work done. I had been coming down with a cold on Tuesday night so I didn't stay for too long on Friday since I was still pretty tired. There was a bit of a storm on Friday morning and Heather was worried that her Circus guest may not be able to get on the plane for Montreal. The storm dissipated for a while though and everyone got out no problem! Although I did find it quite humorous that the weather network said it was 3C and partly cloudy and then when I looked out my window it was friggin' snowing!
Anyway, I ended up going for a walk on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday it snowed too much and the dogs were hiding underneath the houses. On Sunday though it was much nicer out and I was joined by this happy little fellow:
I made a few steaks for dinner this week and I saved the fat and grissel for him. He seemed more than happy to have it! I figure that the dogs here have pretty low body fat and they can always use more, especially since Winter will soon be here in full force.
While I was out I came across a traditional tent. Apparently people just set them up and leave them as they sometimes just go out and sleep in the tent on nice days.
Since I had so much time off I decided that I would do some baking as well :) I still had a bunch of wild blueberries left from when I first went picking.
Here is one of two bags that I collected off of the slopes. I decided that I would use them to make myself some danishes.
Finally, I figured I would give everyone a snow update. It's been a little difficult to gauge exactly how much snow is on the ground since the winds blow it around so much. The least amount is probably 4-6 inches and the deepest is about 8-10 inches. I was a little tempted to build a snow dragon or something since we had all this wet snow, but I got too lazy and played Mass Effect 2 instead. Here is what the country side looks like now.
This week should be busy since we all have to get ready for report cards. Term 1 ends on November 23. It should also be interesting since Mark and Nancy will be away for meetings next week. Hopefully everything will run okay without them!
Does anyone take the dogs in when it gets really bad? The danishes look great! Did you share?
ReplyDeleteYou know...Ashley asked the same thing. Some people do and some people don't. I've noticed that the dogs do burrow underneath the houses to get out of the wind though.
