Getting slammed by snow storm after snow storm
We’re getting slammed with snow here in Toronto this weekend.
Friday we got about 15 cm of snow and today … well I don’t know how much we’ve had so far, it seems a little less than Friday but it’s not over yet. We spent yesterday just relaxing as we knew we’d be outside shoveling most of the day today. We have more snow coming on Tuesday. At least we get a days break between storms.
It’s a good workout, but it’s also freezing outside. I can think of other ways to burn calories that are much more fun!
On that note my flower of the week is the Maltese Cross. It’s a lovely perennial that grows to about four feet in height and it’s flowers bloom in clusters at the top of it’s stalks. Here’s a cluster of Maltese Cross flowers:
What’s your flower or plant of the week?
BTW did you know that it officially became Winter earlier today? Uh huh sigh …

We haven’t gotten any snow. I’m so jealous. xD

That flower looks SO beautiful and so welcomed … all I see is snow, snow, snow. It just won’t end and here it is only December with months of wintery weather in my parts to go. Honestly…
Anyway, sorry to whine ( will go get some cheese to go with that! ) but did want to thank you for that picture. It’s true that a picture can say a thousand words…for a moment there I felt summer in spite of being buried in snow.

About ten days ago, I had over four feet of snow around my house. I can only dream about gardening. In one storm we had an all time record here in northern Idaho – 37 inches.
