My love/hate relationship with the windows in our house continues.. On a few windows the glacial ice sheets retreated and were replaced with frost again this week, while others saw drops of condensation freeze overnight.

"Silly Goose"

If you ask Ellie who the silly goose is, she will dutifully point to herself and say “sill goose”.
Ellie’s vocabulary of essential phrases continues to grow. While running around the house at top speed being a silly goose she may say “so fast” repeatedly. Or she may respond to you with an affirmative “okey dokey” or a “yes siree”. Sometimes she also says “ohhh! Daddy burp.”

Snow
Since it is the main topic of discussion around here now days, and since most of my blogging co-workers have already blogged about it, I may as well too.
Owen Sound area is getting lots of snow lately, which is great for our Snow Camps. Plus it offers a great cardio workout that actually accomplishes something, like finding your car. Why, just the other day I shoveled 3.5 feet of snow off my deck that had accumulated in the previous 3 days. We have had several family members call us recently to ask about our snow because they had heard about our snow dunes in Alberta and New Brunswick.

The typical forecast we have had since early January.
Snow hanging off the roof like a giant quintuple chin.
We have finally stopped the guys from taking short cuts through the field. Of course, the deep snow there may have had something to do with it.
Once winter finally hits, we generally get snow every single day for weeks. Lake effect snow can fall on a clear day with blue sky overhead..
The banks of the walkway to the office are getting pretty high, as is the snow on the roof above.
