Hello There!

Welcome! As you can see I've updated my website - yet again! It seems that as time goes on, and things are added or omitted, the pages tend to get a bit messy looking. So I decided that it was time for a little housekeeping action - with an update.

Winter has finally arrived in my neck of the woods. Call me crazy, but I've been waiting for old man Winter's icy visit. Fall was very warm and long. I enjoyed it, but when in early Winter there was only a skiff of snow on the ground and the temperature didn't go much below 0 degrees celsius, I began to yearn for the cold. I'm not generally a Winter person, but there is nothing like walk in the cold to clear and refresh. I know some of you won't feel much sympathy for me, but I just can't help but feel that, where I live, Winter should be Winter, and Spring should be Spring. It's the natural cycle up here. It was just last week I looked out the window to see what was tap-tapping on my deck only to find water dripping off the roof in a resounding splat from the melting temperatures. I can't say that I liked that too much. I'm much more comfortable now with the -24 we're feeling today. Now as I look out my window into the crisp, cold air, I see that the bird feeder needs to be refilled, and the suet cage needs a new chunk. But I'll take care of that later today. . . . . when it warms up a little more!!!

Warmly,

Phyl
