Fun Fun Day

Here is the gallery.

We had a full house of fun today. I have much grooming to do. LOL Leaves in the house, stuck to them and wild abadoned fun. They so enjoyed each other and I enjoyed watching all of them. The play was great today. Those that went home are probably napping. Those that remain are napping after dinner.

We had a couple of videos uploaded that Nathan took. He should have taken more.

Our son Jon came over and outdoor furniture and pool stuff is away with the lone table and chairs that can stay out so we have something to sit on in the winter if we are so inclined.

It is going to be a fun winter as we will have pups playing in white stuff. I hate cold but I surely enjoy watching the pups in winter.

Will it snow a great deal? I can't remember a great storm for what 30 years when the city was shut down and we had a crazy neighbour that shovelled his way all day long to the main street. Those were storms. As Nathan says, we do not need a snowblower. We have our arms. All these years I think we still need a snowblower. Will we get one this year? I doubt it. But here is hoping.

That last big snow was January 1999, other than that ice storm just before Christmas 2013, but still remember when I was younger storms routinely locked down the city, heard stories of Montreal, Quebec City and Atlantic provinces totally covered in snow, not many snow clearing equipment then. It took days to clear the 1999 snow, but get this, drove over to see my dad, noticed all the sidewalks cleared perfectly, saw his driveway, yup, he had done half the street block, he said lots of seniors live on his street (he was 72, now he's 94, he cut his lawn previous week).
I prefer a shovel if it's not much snow, and shovel often to not let it accumulate. If it's wet stuff forget home snowblowers.
We would like a bit more snow than last year, barely got a path made for the doggies and it soon melted.☹

It was sooner than I thought. Well sounds like my neighbour took lessons from your dad. LOL

We have always shoveled but to be honest it is onerous. There's the driveway, the walkway to front, the between the house. The paths around the pool, the deck. We shovel frequently too. It would be no big deal if we didn't have to do the back but then the dogs wouldn't have fun so it is all worth it. The body doesn't think so.
