A Year of Precipitation!

This has been quite a year for moisture here in Manitoba, and probably in your part of the world!
This is a view from our front yard in June, when our street was like a small river,  and today.

Today’s pile of snow, and we didn’t even have a strong wind to drift it…

My husband has spent a great part of today raking the roof!
There is flooding predicted for our Red River Valley this spring, so let’s hope we have a slow thaw…

Incredible amount of moisture...here in South Dakota too!! When all of our snow starts melting it will be flooding again. Maybe we should all invest in a row boat!

Hard to imagine so much snow. I am eager for Spring.

We sold our home and most of the furnishings and will be looking for a small home all on one level for John. I'll be away from blogging for a little while but look forward to catching up with you soon.

Take care Millie.

I can imagine you are looking forward to spring (we all are!) but not the inevitable flooding that they are calling for in the Red River Valley this year. It will be nice to see some colour in our world won't it? Pamela

Hello dear Millie,
Wasn't that snow fall something? That is not normal for here, is it? When I lived in northern BC it wasn't unusual to get lots of snow every winter, we really don't get much here compared to there.
I am praying for a slow thaw come Spring, perhaps it will start in early March like it did last year. That would be nice maybe.
Hugs, Cindy

Party Day…Our Deck

Image
Rhondi is hosting a porch party, and I am very excited about seeing decks, porches, etc. from many places, encompassing climates and decor of all sorts. We don’t have a porch, so we are welcoming you to our deck today. Please keep our Manitoba climate in mind, as you will notice our summer is just beginning, and plants are not very advanced yet. The afternoon sun is highlighting part of the table, and the rest is shaded by the umbrella. I have set the table in green and white, and because it will just be two of us , it is casual. Before the sun goes down, let’s see what else is on the deck….    another table with some lanterns and plants.. ..a bakers rack which I sprayed light green and which holds green plants.. ..a bench with more of the tropical print…   …and a grouping of potted plants Looking out at the yard, the sun is streaming in from the West. the days are longer now and it is still light….at 8:45… …and now finally night has fallen…it is now 10...
