...well not really

( although the 2-4 cms of snow in Calgary last night they might wonder but a good damper for the dry grass fires of recent weeks )

but these shots are reflective of my rather schizophrenic life style as I maintain the house in Alberta but travel north to work.

That red bag had a gift that was never picked up while I was away so took the contents out and mailed them. These decorations were up when I left in December, some taken down and unplugged by my house sitter, but the boxing and testing for burnt out bulbs on the outside lights just done yesterday.
M y next project is to totally unpack the large blue rubber maid travel bins under the kitchen table.... 

Interesting follow-up to the last two posts....about 100,000 Canadians pledged to turn lights out but one of the reasons sited for non-compliance on CBC radio here in Alberta was the Edmonton-Calgary hockey game at that time...btw Edmonton won 2-1.
