The Ups and Downs

That's been our recent weather. After the pseudo-storm last week, we've been enjoying some great weather. The next few days are supposed to be warm, with highs above zero. Then, back to rain and snow and cooler temperatures.

The warm days will give me the chance to shovel some snow off the deck to make it easier for the dogs to go outside during the day. Also, to empty the compost pail for the last time this winter. It's too difficult to continue taking out the compost during the winter months. Not worth the chance of a fall, stumbling through the deep snow to the back corner of the yard where we have the two compost bins.

Remembrance Day here was quiet. We didn't attend any of the local services, limiting ourselves to watching some on the TV and the Web. We did observe a two minute silence about the right time that morning. I thought of some of my relatives who fought in the war. Some died for their country; others fortunately made it home again.

Later in the week, on Friday evening, we went to our favourite sushi place, here in Charleswood. A lovely restaurant called Asahi. Their food is a cut above most sushi places and their service is always excellent. It was a nice break for me from preparing the evening meal during the week. Marg does the kitchen work on the weekend or we go out somewhere. Last night she made some delicious chicken fajitas. The mutts were very happy to get some of the tasty leftovers.

  1. Glad to see you have a lull before real winter hits!Our weather has been cooler but no snow yet- know it's coming at some point! Margaret likes to give you a break from cooking as I like to give Adolph sometimes too! Sounds like a busy week for you! Chicken Fajitas sound good. Natasha wants us to go to a local Mexican restaurant for her birthday dinner next Saturday- real b-day the 28th. Maybe I'll order some of those fajitas!
