Let It Snow.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow. Well the weather outside my abode is frightening, upwards of 3 feet of snow mixed with freezing rain and ice pellets. Nasty, downright nasty. Its 5pm Sunday and my drive way has yet to be plowed. Two cars are stuck in the middle of the complex parking lot. The neighbours cars have been stuck since early morning.
I am thankful that I am off this weekend, so no travelling for me
in this messy weather. There have been loads of accidents, people just dont know to stay off the roads unless its a true emergency.
I will admit that the 3 feet of blowing snow looks pretty from my window, it would be nice however if I could actually get out the front door, to find the front steps to shovel. Oh well just another Canadian winter.
Well I have done my best and have now forwarded the Snow Storm on to Quebec and the Maritimes, and a few of the North Eastern United States.
This winter storm is best viewed with snacks by a windowsill. Dont get caught in this one. Deirdre.

Aquas

Yesterday a beautiful young woman called Aquas age 16 years was found with only a slight pulse, was rushed to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. This young woman only lived about 30 minutes away from me in Missisauga.
This young woman was pulled off life support today and pronounced Dead. Aquas was apparently murdered by her father, for get this, not wanting to wear a Hajab, (muslim headress). Her father has now been officially charged with murder. Aquas was apparently brutally choked to death.
Imagine this, you are supposed to be able to live with rights and freedoms here in Canada. This girl was savagely murdered for wanting to live free.
This young girl's murder here affects us all. My sympathy goes out to her family and friends.
It's times like this I wish Canada had the Death Penalty. No real justice can be had here, because Aquas father, will probably get sentenced to 10 years and be out in 3 or 4 for so called good behavior.
Justice for Aquas? I don't think so. Hug your kids a little closer tonite and tell them you love them, and light a candle for Aquas. Deirdre

Just A Wee Bit Peeved

Well ever have times when you just have to give your head a shake? Well this would be one of those times for me. Tried to get a nice background for this blog......Tried for an hour. Didnt work. Tried to upload some new pics. No Luck. Silly computer decided all by itself to just shut down. Frazzeled.

Now having No Luck really sends my brain into hurtful spasms, as I am an Irish Canadian, and we are supposed to have the market on Luck. Must be some nasty Goblins running amuck in my pc. Goblins take your leave as I have now ordered some Pixie reinforcements.

Jadey if your out there I need your help with this background thing please and thanks. Some days are better spent in bed then written about. Leaning on my own understanding. Not a good thing. Amazing a pic finally appeared. Oh well theres always tomorrow to try again. Maybe this background thing will come to me in my dreams. I must take my leave and meditate on the copy and paste thing. Deirdre

Checking Out? Dont Even Think About It.

The other night I watched a documentary on Assisted Suicide. I honestly cant believe I watched the entire show. It was sad, shouldve come with a warning. A man who had a terminal illness for sometime, decided with his wife to fly to the Netherlands and end it all. They actually showed him accomplishing his goal. Terribly sad. I just dont understand. He knew his condition was terminal for a long time. Why did'nt he end his life on his own before the paralysis set into his hands? Instead he chose to spend a big chunk ofhis life savings, make his wife part of the process, seek out a doctor over seas to help him do a deed that is illegal, in his home country. Another couple on the show wanted to die together thru assisted suicide, but were fortunately turned down. He did have a heart condition, but was not terminal, and absolutely nothing wrong with his wife, she just didnt want to live without him.

On a side note. At the end of the show, apparently in the Netherlands now you can be assesed and granted Assisted Suicide for any reason at all now. That has saddened me greatly. No reason at all. Very Spooky. Very Sad. From my point of view it is also very wrong. Would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Check out my Guestbook!

The picture below I snapped in a local cemetary chapel. Morbid No. Pretty Yes. The chapel is full of beautiful stained glass. Just wish the photo wasnt so blurry. Imagine having nothing to do but checking out cemetary chapels for pics. It was either that or take a nap.

Let It Snow.

Well my area of the world got dumped on by Jack Frost and his demons last nite and today. First snow storm of the year here. Have a half foot of Snow....sorry for using such a bad word. With freezing rain to follow. To fellow bloggers its been a while. Along with working working and occasionaly sleeping i havent done much worth writing about. But after spending a good deal of time securing a new password and putting up with pc probs, I am back. Here's a pic of something i enjoy viewing instead of this awful snow.

agg

Here is a pic of me on the right with a wee little friend. We are just a couple of Anne of Green Gable posers. I look pretty good with red braids.

M. I. A.

Well the calendar says that today is August 1. Missing in Action. That would describe me lately to a tee. Imagine actually being to busy to post on your blog. To those who visit me on a regular basis i apologise. I have spent way to much time in the real world working overtime lately and writing for helium in the contests held there. The only good news is i won in one of the contests. Been busy patting myself on the back for that too. Missing in action on my blog for a month, I can hardly believe it, but apparently its true. But it is good to be back hanging out in the blog realm. To all a good day. Deirdre.

Well look who showed up on Canada Day

Here are a couple of friends i visit regularly, Gina a lovely Canadian Black Bear, and next to her, Artie, a beautiful snow white Artic Fox. Both enjoy being hand fed, and have been bottle raised. Deirdre.

Took my own Poll

Well it has been quite a week. While remembering to smile and greet those who crossed my path i noticed 2 things. One people really like a good morning hello and a smile. I was able to roughly greet about 6 people everyday this past week on my early morning walks to work. Thats 30 people, and it averaged out that 26 people smiled back and said hello. The other 4 who didnt smile and greet i will have to work on. Maybe hand them something special, like a flower or a peice of fudge.Then i pondered, its nice to do this smile and greet cause maybe its the one smile that may help other's get thru their day. So word up. Smile and Greet. Deirdre

What If

What If
What if i said good morning and gave a smile to the strangers who crossed my
path on the way to work today
Would they say hi, smile and perhaps brighten my day
What if i choose to see the silver linings, in every conversation today
Would it encourage anybody to do the same
What if i stepped it up a bit and went the extra mile for someone
Would they in turn find someone to be there for
What if at the end of the day i could look in the mirror of my soul and say well done , you have made a difference to someone
Would i have encouraged myself to try it again tomorrow Oh tomorrow, let me do better tomorrow, let the wisdom of kindness rule my tomorrows.

Canadian Elk

Here we have a lovely, very friendly Canadian Elk. Not showing well in the pic, but has gorgeous chrystal blue eyes. My sweet Elk had a great feed of peanuts from my hand. Just wish you could see his eyes. Deirdre

Colour Baths.

Hi Everyone. I am curious. The other day i landed in a quaint gift shop. Guess what i found?? Packetts of Colour Baths. Have any of you tried them? I bought a few. Makes for a fun time in the tub and truly a bit of stress relief. There are quite a few different colours to choose. They don't stain you or your tub. Some of the coulour baths will relax you and some are said to increase your energy level. Totally believeable as Colour is a form of light and thus it is energy in itself. Wow. Now i can look forward to something other than clear water at tub time. A couple of well placed candles, a few bubles and a Rainbow of Colours, My tubtime now entertains me. Give them a try you will most likely enjoy all the pretty coulours. Don't forget your Rubber Duckie. Deirdre

I Built A Fence.

Here is a little diddy for you about a fence i recently built for my back deck. I built the fence for my boy's, Rasty and Bailey. I needed the fence so they could have some play time out back without me hovering over them.

Well i found some beautiful chocolate brown snow fencing and began to build the fence, all went well and after an hour i was finished , realeased the dog's to the back deck so they could have a boo at mommy's handiwork, and enjoy their time outside on the deck.

A super handy girl i am not, but i learn pretty quick, Bailey my big Clifford boy behaved very well and accepted the fence. Good Bailey, here's a cookie Bailey.

Rasty Jack my wonder dog however did not, Rasty glanced at the fence , looked at me, glanced back at the fence, gave Deirdre a famous grin as only a Border Collie can do and boom he went under the fence . Cursing Rasty's intelligence once again the chase began, took forty five minutes to catch my lovely collie. How did i solve my latest collie episode , so glad your curious, well i found out just how handy a hammer a nails can be and proceeded to nail the bottom of the fence to the deck. Rasty's deck bound finally, As for me i am developing my carpentry skills. Deirdre.

Christian Museaum

I heard the news today oh boy, about a Christian Group who made the grade. A Creationsist Museaum has been built in Petersburgh Kentucky, U.S.A. The museaum has been built by a nonprofit ministry called Answers In Genesis. The cost of the museaum is 27 Million dollars. Built with private donations. This museaum tells the story of Biblical Creation. The museaum will have a 180 seat, special effects theatre, along with robotic roaring dinosaurs, and huge , 12 meteres high actually, exhibit of Noah's Ark. I checked out the website answeresingenesis.org, really interesting. I think a road trip might be in order. Kudo's to Kentucky and Intelligent design. Deirdre

Breakfast Chant

Good Morning. Another beautiful warm day here in Southern Ontario. I heard or read somewhere that it takes twenty one days to develop a new habit. So here's a Mantra all can practice till it sinks in. Ready to Chant? Good Better Best. Never Take A Rest. Until Your Good Is Better And Your Better Is Your Best. There is also a mantra for developing Patience, but i wouldnt even dream of attempting that one. Deirdre
