Mom of 3, Grandma of 6, and thrilled to have the time to babysit, along with Grumpy Grandpa!
So much for my squirrel buster bird feeder. Breakfast time!

The snow is so deep, I didn't think the flock would be back after I finished refilling the bird feeder. It isn't even off the ground anymore, but here they are!

Well I'm glad I left my Christmas wreath hanging! This guy has found a use for it. He has found one of the mushy strawberries I threw out into the courtyard. It's frozen solid! He's going to be there a while...

Mr. Trump claims the issue is about drugs. U.S. customs officials only seized 43 lb of fentanyl at our border last year, but more than 21,000 lbs seized at the Southern border. We are spending $1 billion more on security to patrol the border, with more foot patrols, drones, and helicopters.

I've not been commenting, but I can't stand it any more. The president of the United States lies at whim. We here in Canada take issue with the guns that come across our border from the US. More migrants cross over into Canada than vice versa. Less than 1% of fentanyl comes from Canada.

Mr Trump also points out that they don't sell cars in the European Union. I wonder if that's because they drive on the Left Hand Side of the road. As such the steering wheel needs to be on the right hand side of the vehicle. Is General Motors willing to retool their lines to make this adjustment?

The president of the United States falsely claims US Banks aren't allowed to operate in Canada. U.S. banks now make up over HALF of all foreign bank assets in Canada. There are 16 US-based Bank subsidiaries and branches with around 113 billion Canadian in assets, currently operating in Canada.

The snow has let up again, so the goldfinches are dive bombing the bird feeder while they can. This picture doesn't do them justice, but they sure are fun to watch. It will start snowing again anytime now. Snow squalls off and on all day today.

🇨🇦 Snow Day! 1st one of the year.
All Simcoe County school buses and vans in the North Weather Zone (Elmvale, Midland, Penetanguishene, Orillia and surrounding areas) have been cancelled due to current poor road conditions.

And then an hour later this is what we have. Here we go again! My poor husband. I try to help, but he tells me to go back inside! You don't have to tell me twice 🥰

And the way everything is illuminated is just stunning.

The sunrise after a snowstorm is always just so pretty.

It's here! Yippeeeee!!! ❄️ Best when you are home to watch. So far about 5cm has fallen in an hour and a half. I would help to clear it, but only my hubby knows how to operate the snowblower 😉 That's a Blue 💙 Job.

Wow stranded on Hwy 11 for over 5 hours, not moving, due to snow squals and zero visibility. It's a scary wait for help when they close the Hwy. 😱
December 1, 2024 at 3:40 AM

I drove by the day this fellow started setting up, in plain sight, & then added "rooms". Now they get help! We don't have places for them to live. What would you do? The System is backwards. Eg. Single Mom can't get a daycare space without a job, and can't get a job without daycare!

Well we went to Vaughn Mills, Black Friday, total gridlock now. Trying to get home and they have CLOSED the bridge to get over Hwy 400 AND the ramp to 400 north bound. Total gridlock when they only needed to close 1 lane for a hydro truck. Bonkers! #TorontoTraffic #gridlock

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

Good morning!
I have not looked at "X" in over 6 months, and recently deactivated my account. Hoping this app will be a ray of sunshine. X has become distressing to me. #hopeful
