| very long doodle....what to do???? |
Well....as you can see...not a very encouraging sight down at the cottage...
We took a drive last Friday...had a lovely lunch...some thrifting...
And arrived to see this...
Could not get into our driveway yet again...
Parked out front...and walked in thru our neighbours...
This pile will take forever!!!
And...with the lake still frozen...the normally southern wind, is blowing across ice...and really increasing the wind chill...
Lots of melting around the cottage...which results in lots of ice!
Two years ago...we opened the water on March 10th!!!
It was a record 28*C....NOT THIS YEAR!!!
I think it will be a few more weeks, until we can entertain any thoughts of spending time out there...
This saddens me greatly...
Making our season all that much shorter...especially when there was really no Fall last year...
Seemed to go from Summer......to Winter.....very quickly...
When we can read the paper on the beach deck...
Raise our toes...
CHEERS!
To the lake and blue skies!!!
Very cold here....today is -14*c with the windchill....
Spending time doing housework....laundry...the usual...
***************
On the menu tonight
Roasted crispy pork chops, roasted yams,asparagus
Enjoy the rest of your day...
What are you up to???
Oh yes....planted some Basil yesterday...
Will watch its progress ♥️
Cheers! :o)

That view over the lake is just fantastic - you lucky things! Good luck with the basil; I've never managed it. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Em...can't wait to start the season out there....
DeleteI am growing Basil in a pot....never done it before....we'll see!
But I do see some grass there and some is even a bit green! :) Oh, it's pretty awful with all this snow isn't it? And it's so cold today. It's -11 but I'm sure the wind chill is -18 or more. Brrr. Thankful for the sun which will shine in my dining room window this afternoon as I'm feeling very cold at the moment. Got to get moving I guess. Salmon, tiny potatoes, asparagus and salad for supper. :) Hugs. Pam
ReplyDeleteI see on the news, that you are still getting pounded out there....so sorry Pam....
DeleteGlad you got your asparagus!
Now you just need to find a pink kalanchoe!
It amazing how it is totally clear in some places and then piled up so high in others, the wind does very strange things to snow!! I hope that it does melt soon so that you can get back out there again. It looks beautiful though!! xx
ReplyDeleteAmen Amy....bring on the warm weather!
DeleteLovely photos! Yes, it's still very wintery out there. I was out this morning and it was quite chilly. It saddens me, too, that our warmer seasons will feel much shorter this year. Do we not already have winters that are too long? We don't need more of that!
ReplyDeleteYes....the later we get started....the earlier it is over!
DeleteWe should protest.......or.......something! Ha!
Just working in the kitchen today, on my dog book. Your supper sounds yummy. Homemade Hungarian food for us tonight. Cheers and boogie boogie.
ReplyDeleteAre you a professional food maker?
DeleteCheers and boogie boogie!
Do any of your neighbours live out there all year, or is it just too harsh?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely they do!
DeleteBut....they have permanent homes...ours is strictly 3 seasons...and does not include winter!
It is VERY harsh out there....after all...it is one of the 5 Great Lakes!
You still have all that snow ? WOW ! Your cottage isn't that far east from us and yet we have less snow , weird ! Super sounds Yummy ! Lovely photos . They say the temps are to warm up by the end of the week ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteYup....all that snow! I do believe the frozen lake is keeping things chilly....
DeleteI am counting on the warm up....at least we could do some yard work.....
I'm sorry , lol I forgot what I was going to say after seeing the last few photos, ahhhh, we are still buried in snow, I long to be on the deck again,
ReplyDeleteAwwwww...that is sweet Laurie♥️ Me too!
DeleteI'm calling it sprin-ter ... it is a lovely sunny day but still quite chilly. Snow is melting but it still has a long way to go.
ReplyDeleteDid you make that up, linda? Very good!
DeleteLots of melting still needed.....later this week....fingers crossed!
Great pictures...Hard to believe you still have so much snow. However your dear boyfriend in the lounge chair...that's the picture.
ReplyDeleteDinner sounds delicious. Our sun left, it's overcast and chilly....so I made a pot of veggie soup.
Sending hugs and smiles
Yes....that is where I want to be?
DeleteI made pea soup on the weekend....had a ham bone in the freezer!
What a little piece of paradise you have. You know, if this weather does go the way it is forcast you just might get out there sooner than later. All +'s by the end of this week. Woohoo! I just want to shed the winter crap and get back to my 5k walks. I love your photos, especially your selfies. Deb
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so, Deb♥️
DeleteYes....sick of the winter goats....boots....blah!
Glad you like my selfies....they are fun, eh?
Like your selection of pictures today. You've got a fair bit of bare ground there!
ReplyDeleteYes.....beside the 5 foot drifts! hahaha!
DeleteLake Ontario still has very icy edges and Irondequoit Bay is still frozen at one end. It doesn't look like spring at our lake and your frozen lake still has to get dumped into ours. Maybe I should go shopping for some new sweaters... if I can find any amongst the bathing suits.
ReplyDelete:0)
Ha! Great idea...they SHOULD be on sale!
DeleteYou have some green..let's celebrate!
ReplyDeleteJane x
Not quite yet Jane.....perhaps after another week...
DeleteYes, it's still a bit wintry there! It's very cold here and I heard March was going out like a lion just like it came in. haha.
ReplyDeleteGreat!
DeleteLooks sunny today....but still brrrrr!
28 ! Yikes, what a huge difference. I can understand your disappointment.
ReplyDeleteDId you see it on the news?
DeleteThey actually did a piece on the warm weather in 2012...I looked in my journal at the cottage...and there it was!
All the pictures are beautiful and I think winter is really beauty!:)
ReplyDeleteI agree Gloria....but toooo long this year...
DeleteI know but I think the spring is near to you, here is hot but the liquidambar are red!
DeleteBRRRRRR!!! Think summer...think summer...think summer!!
ReplyDeleteI AM!!!! I AM!!!! I AM!!!
DeleteOh, what a long winter you've had. I can feel it, though, spring is right around the corner!
ReplyDeleteOh......I hope so Jen....
