The grip of winter kept us closer to home this past week. We walked the boardwalk a few days but walking the neighbourhood meant we could escape to home easily if we needed too. One day, with windchill of -23 C, cold stung our faces making an escape necessary.
Not only is Bedeque Bay ice covered now, with all the the snow we had last week, it is snow covered too. In places now, one can’t discern the shoreline from the snowy, ice-covered water below.
We attended two gymnastics competitions which our youngest granddaughter participated in last week. Her enjoyment of the sport and determination to do her best are wonderful to see. There is another competition next weekend which we will attend if weather permits.
Also recently, one of my friends from book club passed away. Another ‘bookie’ and I attended her funeral last week. Katie was an avid reader and a kind, generous, loving person. I find it hard to believe she is gone. She will be missed.
Many in Canada watched the news on Saturday about the 25% tariffs the U.S. will impose on Canadian goods entering that country. In response, Canada will impose retaliatory tariffs on goods entering Canada from the U.S.
Our daughter sent us this photo of the golden grand-dog, Daisy, early Saturday evening.
I wrote, “Daisy looks worried.”
Our daughter responded, “She’s scared the tariffs are going to affect her number of treats.”
It is good we can chuckle about it. For now…

And that worried dog photo... I think many people can relate to that concern about tariffs. 🌍 Here in Europe, we’re also thinking: what’s that "guy" in America going to do now? I heard we’re prepared, and that there might be a halt on imported goods out of the USA. 🚢❌ Well, we’ll see how it goes. Great blog, by the way!
Always difficult, those funerals. Wishing you strength. 💔🌹🙏
The cold makes everything a bit harder to cope with, but I think the granddog will be fine.
It's cold here too, but nothing like you have. And we got some snow last night. It will be an exciting trek to the bus this morning.
Laughter is the best medicine, and do we ever need medicine.
The Wall Street Journal calls it "The Dumbest Trade War in History." Not that it will deter the Orange Menace.
Sorry to hear about your book club friend. It's hard when our social circles start to diminish.
Hello Marie, I love your first image looking out over snow covered Bedeque Bay. Having enjoyed your photos of the Bay in warmer times, I can fully appreciate the covering of snow that makes it seem like there is no water at all under the ice and snow. Great shot. Poor Daisy definitely looks worried. I certainly hope the tariffs don’t affect her number of treats. 😊 Speaking of tariffs, our buffoon leader, elected by some of our lower IQ citizens, will, I predict, come to regret his moves to place tariffs on our neighbors and best trading partners. We will see. In the meantime, just know there are millions and millions of Americans who despise the buffoon. And most of us, including me, love Canada! John
Daisy knows just how important doggy treats are! So sorry to hear that you have lost a loved book club member. As we get older, we experience those sad losses more and more. And as for the tariffs and Trump, he is nothing but a vengeful evil man who aims to be the emperor of the world, and I am worried about what the future will bring.
Wow so much happening..Sorry about your friend😢Looks like yourKing winther holding a strong grip on your place..zBut remember sun will always shine again..and little spring Flowers will return.Hope and pray you will have a peaceful week.Stay warm💖
Sorry to hear your friend passed. It is never easy and hope fond memories help. I do love Winter but the bitter cold that sometimes comes with it, not so much. However your wintery photos capture the best part, serenity.
I don't know what too say about the tariffs, other than it will cause more division and hardship for many. I also love Canada!
Gymnastics is fun to watch, except I could do without sitting on bleachers. My oldest grandson just started participating. Have you tried taking photos? I think it would be a fun sport to photograph, if allowed.
