December 1, 2009

The first day of December.... but first, lets reflect on this November

Well, strangely enough we have experienced bizarre, almost tropical type weather....for here that is. True, sometimes in November it is not uncommon for us here in Regina, Saskatchewan to experience horrific sub zero temperatures and blizzards. For instance last year, my husband and I got back from Mexico to discover it had been blizzarding and about -37 degrees Celsius ( which would be around -35 degrees Fahrenheit) This November on the contrary , we had days of +17 - 20 degrees above zero ( about 62-68 degrees Fahrenheit ) and were wearing NO jackets of any kind! I didn't believe my kids when they came in and told me that it was too hot to wear their down jackets, my mind was going tilt! Weather here literally and I do mean very literally changes at the drop of a hat. One day can be roasty toasty and the next you are bundled up in every layer imaginable. So, now that I have highlighted the warmth of this November I have to say I was missing something. It is the something that is usually here by now. SNOW. Yes, I was actually missing that stuff. Maybe it is because my lawn got ripped up this fall and was left with a big mud hole and wanted it covered up, or maybe it is the beauty it brings as it highlights every branch on the trees and provides a satisfying crunch below your feet. That is what December brought. It snowed all night with big puffy snowflakes layering the vehicle with almost a foot of snow. Wonderful!
For my first post I wanted to share some of the items on Etsy that I adore! Clearly I like peacock feathers - I know! And yes, I realize that it doesn't really go with the snow thing either :)
