Well it has been a little chilly of late. We are down to the minus teens now.

I shouldn't complain because by and large its been warmer and much less snowy so far this winter than last.

Shane bought a new snow blower from Canadian Tire and its hardly had a work out yet. Still after the gruelling experience of an unreliable snow blower and the tons of snow we had last year, he was taking no chances.

Here is a pic of the handsome and effiiant beast. The snow blower that is not the husband.

On a different subject, I thought I would show you an interesting house I saw while out and about.

Never in a million years would you get planning permission in the UK for this errr extension/loft conversion????

Though not for a moment do I think this one has the relevant permits!

It is one of many strange and wonderful sights you will come accross in the wilds of the NB back country.

Well there is not much going on right now. This time of year on the farm is about doing the chores you need to do in respect of looking after the animals and then retreating to the house to curl up with the computer (how times change. It used to be a good book) by the wood stove.
