Oh my, but it's cold outside. Jumping from temperatures in the 40's (Centigrade) to those substantially below freezing comes as a bit of a shock to the system. I arrived at Toronto's airport with a temperature of minus 14 but the wind chill factor dropped that to minus 24, something I haven't experienced for what seems an entire lifetime and something that this poor tropically spoilt body will take some getting used to.
However, there is a positive side to all this. Firstly, I arrived to find my Mom looking extremely well despite the fact that she's just returned from hospital, have got to see my sister and all her family and woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. It had snowed the day before and into the evening and having no wind, the ground, trees, fencing, everything, was covered in that beautiful white fluffy stuff made even more beautiful by the bright sunny day we were delivered today. It brings out the kid in me.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch (Calypso), Paul tells me he's working flat out sanding all the pillars and posts inside as it hasn't stopped raining since I left. It appears even more nasty weather is on its way with some severe storms so I can only hope things don't get too uncomfortable for him down under.

I can relate to your winter wonderland...it is pretty - just darn cold still! I hope the rain has let up for Paul with his so important tasks. Hope to see you.
