February - Will winter never end

It was not only those of us in Ontario who were subjected to repeated snowfalls with no "'January thaw" to ease the burden. In Maryland Fells (and Donna) had to cope with treacgerous conditions thanks to snow and freezing rain

Molly in Connecticut and Chewbacca in British Columbia also saw more of the white stuff than was welcome.

On the upside the crappy weather did not interfere with our supper get togethers.

At the very end of February a few decent travel days allowed Anna the opportunity to view and but her very own Bordermobile, a 2019 Coachmen Beyond 22ft Class B camper.

Birthdays in February:
Chewbacca and Molly celebrated their first birthday on February 26th, never forgetting bridge sibling Angel Gherkin.

That's what Molly thinks of the weather!!!
Felek, Lola and Olek have one way of dealing with it!!!
"'You've got to be joking"' pretty much sums up Fell's approach

January - 2026 Comes with hope and trepidation

January once again started off with our annual "goodbye to the Turkey" with Paul Hollywood's leftover Turkey and Ham Pie shared with Anna and Shawna.
This year there was enough leftover Turkey and Ham to end the month the same way, Here's to many more gatherings with our friends on both sides of the border

For the most part January was a marked by frigid temperatures and way too much snow for my liking, heartfelt thanks go to our amazing neighbours across the road for the use of their snowblower on multiple occasions.

On the bright side, Chris has ordered the small outboard for the sport boat and an elextric scooter to go with his electric bike. They bring the promise of some new adventures and exploration opprtunities both on and off the water.

Unfortunately, a combination of hormones and cabin fever resulted in Pickles once again deciding that she didn't want Digger in her life so we are back to musical dogs.

Birthdays in January:
Olek and Fergus celebrated their second birthday on the January 12th.
David and Lisa's Jessie turned 11 on January 19th and Anna's Felek became a teenager when he turned 13 on January 24th

Olek totally zonked after his amazing agility debut. Another star in the making.
Fergus enjoying a romp on the beach in British Columbia. He's settling in nicely.
Winter loving Jessie takes "snow beard" to a whole new level
Felek displaying reasonable table manners while enjoying his birthday steak,
Atypical weather in Maryland certainly challenged Fells and Donna, tough on an older lad
Abbey and Olive have the best idea when it comes to dealing with winter and politics.
