Speaking Of The Weather

Vicki grabbed this shot on Tuesday morning (Oct 28/08) when we woke up to find that we were living in a winter wonderland (all of a sudden).

Take note of the cedar hedges at the rear of our yard (middle-left in the photo)... bent over under the weight of all that wet snow! Neither of us noticed that precarious situation until later in the day, at which point Vicki subtly suggested that we needed to go deal with that problem before we lost a future set of noise bafflers (against the neighbours behind us). I went out and shook off all of the accumulation, and it seems like they may yet survive. And that predicament, of course, was nothing compared to the array of downed branches that now adorn our neighbourhood and beyond.
