Yup ... when the snow left and the sun came out, it sure was beautiful. I have a bird feeder, and the tree near it was covered in sparrows ... they were too busy fluffing out to do much singing
A couple of them also provided nice snacks for a hawk that has been hanging around the neighbourhood. I had some shopping to do; so, I walked up to the local Tigre Geant and the El Cabo ... all kinds of people out walking, well bundled of course.
Everyone seemed cheerful ... calling out things like, "Nice day, eh." (Go figure, eh
), and "Cold enough fer ya". Extreme winter weather might be a pain in the ass; but we handle it ... 'cause we're Canadians, eh.
Day after day of temps in the mid forties? I don't think I would like that. It's going to be at best -30 tonite. But I'll put on my winter coat, wear my mad trapper hat ... oh, and long johns
... and I'll be nice and comfy when the dogs take me for a walk. But at 40 plus, how do you get comfy
I think the Aussies have it tougher than we do.
