And now you know the rest of the story...

Just got in from the off-leash park, where there was mud (recent thaw) ice (recent freeze), huge snow flakes falling from a blue milk sky...

CANADA

On the sixth day God turned to the Archangel Gabriel and said: "Today I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty. It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats, and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes
bountiful with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life, and rivers stocked with salmon."

God continued, "I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Canadians, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth."

"But Lord," asked Gabriel "don't you think you are being too generous to these Canadians?"

"Not really," replied God, "just wait and see the winters I am going to give them."

You guys DO pay for it, don't you? lol But I have to agree, it's a wonderful place! Hubby and I honeymooned in Banff!

"Not really," replied God, "just wait and see the winters I am going to give them."

But then again, it depends on where you live in Canada, doesn't it?

My buddy mentioned how I better cut the lawn this week, now that V Day is over...

My late parents used to live in Tswassassen. I went to visit them on my Christmas break when I was in University. The snow shut the entire region down... they didn't have equipment or the knowledge to handle it.

In this part of Canada, we can.

You're absolutely right, V.

When we get ANY snow at all, we just can't handle it.

Something about not having any snow plows, knowing it will all melt in 2 or 3 days any way...

...and ya' don't need to tell me about Winnipeg winters...born & raised in Saskatoon, first job after University was in Calgary, and the next northwest of Edmonton.

That's why the Prairies are a good place to come FROM (emphasis on the past tense).
