Nope, just wanted out of the city after retirement. They shopped for their house online and bought site-unseen. Personally, if I had to move....I'd move to Prince Edward Island.
I have no choice but to give in and go for groceries today. The storm is starting after Supper and will continue with messy weather until Sunday evening.

About your neighbors... Well I feel sorry for them, but as you say, they shoukd have researched the area...I bet they have not even thought of the upkeep associated with all the snow & such that you get.
Be safe getting your groceries.

I am home Junie...it was a quick trip. The neighbors knew of someone in the lower part of my province and thought the weather was the same....but the top(where I live) to the bottom(where the acquaintance lives of the province jumps 3 gardening zones. We have at least 6 to 10 feet of snow everywhere...the lower part has less than a foot now.

School was cancelled today for meetings, then we get the call that the meetings are cancelled as well due to the weather. That means they might make Monday the day of meetings. At this rate the kids have a 4 day weekend ahead.
It might be good though since half the kids have Covid, there was also a case of Chicken Pox. I haven't heard of that disease in awhile but the child got it from her Aunt having shingles from Covid.
I think I'll catch up on some laundry today.

Gracious....😕😕if it is not one thing it is 10 others. SMH.. Although I bet the kids are happy for the extra time off of school.
Oh my goodness, chicken pox...I have not heard of that disease in a long time.
I went for a walk today. Now I am waiting for the kids to arrive. Rest at this point of the day is a good thing.

It won't stop snowing. People say not to wish your life away but by the time March rolls around....I'll wish that month gone any time.

Bestofour, Do you live near your siblings where you are now? Meaning, do you have extended family close by? Yes, my oldest daughter, Shelley, and her 3 children live 16 miles down the road from me so I'm not alone. I will adjust one way or the other. Sunny, is it still snowing? spring is definitely here and so is the pollen. The pollen usually isn't this bad this early but it's here. Thankfully yellow is my favorite color. Our farmers market opens next weekend but I'll be at Ginger's so I'll miss it. In years past it's stayed open all year but closed for a few months this winter for some reason.

Hey...I say you are only wishing away one month..not your whole life.
I want April here as well. I am willing to give up one month. That is not too much to do right.
Sleep well my friends....sweet dreams.

Bestofour, it is still snowing...non stop. There is about 6 to 8 ft of snow in the fields and such but the banks in our yards and along the roads are 12 to 15 ft in places...it is a discouraging sight. I am glad that you have family close by.

Gee, that is a lot of snow, Sunny. I can imagine how discouraging that is. Pray for spring and be safe.

Sheri...I am glad there will be family near by for you. That makes me feel better. I am glad that spring has arrived for you..even if it does bring pollen with it. I did not see your post about Shelley until just now...I am sorry I missed it I wish Tina would pop in... I will say goodnight now. Sleep well my friends.

It has cooled off a bit here and the wind is non stop but still better weather than poor Sunny. I'd like to work in the yard but the wind has made that impossible.

How is the garden planting going Bestofour? Junie. I had landscaping edging many moons ago. It was the black stuff with the round rolled edge. I put it in one Summer...and pulled it all out the next spring. It was a horror to deal with from the frost heaving it right out of the ground. I still have not gotten my blower belt yet and yesterday the tire on the tractor blew. Today it is storming again....and Sunny is giving up on Winter.

Yes about the frost heaving such. I miss my colored brick edging at home. Free bricks in 4 colors and I just.but them in the ground on one end to keep them in place. Never any heaving. Oh how I miss those..them and my fescue grass. I am done with that bit of landscaping. I will add some hostas and perhaps a columbine. I have to put flowers in somewhere after all.

My sister and I went to see my mother today. She was very with it and we went to lunch and took her and bought her 2 pair of shoes. The weather was sunny but cold and windy.
