Only in Manitoba

There is a water retention lake by my house. In the summer it is full of Canada geese and in the winter the city uses it for snow dumping.

The lake was on my work route this morning. I avoided the main routes out of Transcona cause for some strange reason they all seem to be closed due to A) accidents or B) congestion because of re-routed traffic.

It was unbelievable but it is June 22 and there was still piles of dirty snow by the retention lake.

I wonder if the piles of snow will be gone before winter…

I'm back

Hello all. It's sunny out, my toes are nicely polished and I'm sitting on my deck enjoying the peace of the early morning.

A lot has changed since I've entered my last post. I am living on my own and trying to make the best of life for my boy and me. Oh and our crazy hair-shedding puppy Eddy.

It's June and our summer hockey is already over. The hockey wind-up marathon is today. We have a pool party then off to the country for a BBQ, drinks, camping and a good old-fashioned hoe down. Hey what happens in Ile de Chenes, stays in Ile de Chenes.
