It's Fun at the Fun Factory!

We promised that things would be exciting here and they are: 2 weeks ago I went into the back yard to clean up after the hounds. I walked down the same slope as always but was carrying a shovel (this slope was ice covered recently but is now clear). Slipped, fell and the shovel hit my knee and severed the patella tendon, ouch! After surgery, two weeks of rest and a knee brace I'm ambulatory again - just in time for our tourist season. Lucky break, too, as the Spring Special is bringing in the guests. High point of my convalescence: watched daytime TV for the first time in years and saw a high school literature class in action. When queried about a Shakespeare play, several students felt that Romeo and Juliet killed themselves because they were "asshats". Interesting perspective...

Winter Redux!

3/26: We thought spring was here for good so down came the snow stakes on the road and other winter items. We have a group from Australia staying now (check out today actually); they had rented a car in Moncton that had snow tires. "Won't need those" I said. Then we got snowfalls on succeeding nights! No problem though - it's beautiful today and our guests are riding the OCEAN from Moncton to Québec (wish more guests would ride the train) and temps are on the way up. We might even be able to see the waterfall/fish pond in a few days...

Dog Days of Winter

3/21/11: Spring is officially here but we've still got about 1/3 of our snowpack to melt in the yard. It's -3C right now and there were snow flurries yesterday. A week ago, while the world was watching events unfold in Japan, the two hounds went to the vet for their annual vaccinations. Jie the Harrier (pronounced gee-eh; she was named after Chinese statesman Jiang Jieshi), celebrated by having a seizure at the doctor's, followed by incontinence. Fast forward- a week's worth of working with phenobarbitol dosages fixed the problem (lots of cleaning downstairs too).

Spring Has Sprung! (sort of...)

3/10/11: Spring has arrived! We're getting days of +32F temps and the snow is melting fast. Got out onto the deck for the first time since January today - the storm door had been completely blocked with snow. The West River ice broke but it refroze last night.
