The Dude in a ditch
Normally, the Dude abides. Tonight, he got distracted by the frake attack and froke right the fuck out. I was driving along at 40kph when he just LOST IT, fishtailed wildly across the road, and spun 180° while sliding down the embankment. If it weren't for that tree, we might have kept sliding all night.
Seriously, though, I saw that tree heading straight for Darren's door and all I could do was say, "I love you."
The wheel-well and tire took the impact, though, and not his door, thank goodness. From this angle, you can't even tell there's anything wrong, except that I shouldn't be able to photograph my car from above.
The tow truck guy said that the steering rod is broken, the axle probably bent, and he can smell fuel.
Then we got home and Darren's computer was dead.
Merry effing Christmas.

Frake attack!
The snowfrakes are here! They thought they'd catch me off-guard by coming in the night, but I WAS HERE TO WELCOME MY WEE FROSTY OVERLORDS!

7 Days, Day 2 - DOWN
As in, I'm down with winter. Today, I went down to the bus stop in some snow that was coming down in soft, fluffy buckets. This afternoon, the snow was so fluffy, it looked like down feathers. My alternate plan was to find an OPP officer and have him pose with me, but I'm not sure he would have been down with that.

It's almost like spring is in the air
The WalMart snow bank is totally shrinking. I think there's more snow in the forecast for this weekend, though.

Frake carcasses outside the window
This is the side of the house that faces west, so this is kind of an exaggeration...but not much of one.

April snow brings May...uh...um...
Just leaned out the front door and took this. Whee! I don't have to go anywhere today, so I'm happy!

What he was flipping off
We got a whole 2 inches of snow, almost. I went out later, after he left, and shoveled a clear path from the car to the front door. Also, this was last week.

52 weeks, week 8 - It snew.
This is taken out the front door. That road behind me is a highway. 2 seconds prior to taking this picture, Darren was complaining about all the cold air I was letting in.

Oh dang. Now everyone will know the flowers are fake.
The wishing well in the front yard.

We can't hide the garbage can anymore, either
I mean, we can hide it UNDER THE SNOW, but it's directly in front of the door now. That's only 24 hrs of accumulation, by the way. Garbage day was yesterday.

Horses are in the barn, sun's going down. Must be time to eat.
And that's what we did.

365.054 - catch-up - snow, again
Looks like I didn't take any pictures on Saturday, so this one from Sunday morning will have to do. I like taking pictures of the plows and snowblowers and stuff, just because Cincinnati doesn't have the plow army that Ontario does. This is one of the smaller plows - the ones that clean the 401 are like army tanks.

365.053 - Patience is almost a year old!
We're going to have to start using giant, exaggerated air quotes when we talk about THE BABY, since she's about as big as her mommy now and is going to be much bigger. Doesn't she make a gorgeous redhead?

365.044 - Spooky fog
It's warm enough (in the 40s!) for the snow to get all melty and foggy. And look how small the driveway snow banks are! Gosh, we can even see the street.

365.035 - About winter
One of the few things I dislike about winter: not being able to see out the windows. Salt, fog, and dirt. Then again, when I clean the windows, all I get to see are snow mountains anyway.

365.032 - Baby snowbank
This is me, standing next to a small snowbank in the Loeb's parking lot. I'm 5'8.

365.031 - Deeper than Packet is tall
I was pretty much sitting with the camera level to the height of the snowdrift on Packet's deck. See how the patio door is open? See how Packet just wants to sniff her air? We go through this almost everyday.

365.028 - Ouellette
This is the street we live on. We haven't seen the actual pavement for over a week. For the Cincinnati folks back home, I still need to get a shot of a proper snow plow and a sidewalk snowblower.

365.004 Shoveling and working the remote at the same time
Note that I'm wearing The Sweater. This was one of my first knitting projects, before I came to appreciate the power of gauge. It's 16°F outside, and this sweater kept me plenty warm, thanks to its being knit with double-stranded Wool-Ease throughout.
