Baby, it's cold outside! On any given day by 10 a.m. I am dressed and we are ready for the day. We would be planning our walk and what great adventure the day will serve up. Today is not a normal day. The blinds have been drawn for three days; the dog has not been out for a walk and the only adventure we are planning is how to tackle the pile of laundry and ironing. This is day four of hibernation.
I have survived cold snaps before but this is the first with a little one in the house. I have adopted the philosophy of "I don't have a reason to go outside so I won't." Friends in the Pacific Northwest of the USA and the West Coast of Canada are enjoying a few snow days while the Prairies are in a deep freeze. For the third night it dipped down to -30 degrees Celsius and -40s with the windchill. Trust me - that is FRIGID!! Jasper the wonder dog usually loves playing & rolling in the snow. This morning the mere suggestion of "in the house" was greeted with a "get out of my way woman" dash for the front door. Love that dog! Of course his efforts were rewarded with treats. He has since retreated up to our room and cocooned under the covers on our bed.
The little master of the house has been tucked back in bed since the wee hours and is happy to be bundled up like a bug in a rug. If the blinds were open the photo would come out perfectly.
So, what will the day hold for the Cote clan? Well - it will be just like yesterday...snuggles, blankets and movies enjoyed in the comfort of our family room.
