Ulog #44: First School Closure (of many to come) Because: Snow

in ulog •  6 years ago  (edited)

Bwa hahaha I love Nova Scotia!

No where else have I lived in Canada, that you don't go on with your normal life when it snows. Here in NS, a few flakes of snow, and it's "Shut er down b'yes".

I've loved these last 5 winters since we moved here. It's how it should be imo. Yeah, you don't get much done, but there is more to life than work and school, I hate to break it to yas.

People here just get by with a lot less. Our needs and wants are very small and simple as a general rule.

Nova Scotians are extremely down to earth. It's a great way of life here, most shops don't open on Sundays either, another thing I find very cool... #onlylifeimportant

#ChickenBitchez Photo Shoot

Okay, this is just sad right? All hiding under the deck with the scrap metal and other garbage. I promise the next part of the photo shoot will be more dignified than that was.

Some Pretties

The truest reason I brought my camera outside...sorry children...sorry chickens, but I loves me Pretties!

The flower above is the one I saw, when I was inside looking out my front window. I had to get outside and capture it before some wind knocked off the snow.

I couldn't imagine ripping out my garden in the fall. I love leaving it, and capturing it through all its stages of decomposition. It makes such lovely art.

Does it snow where you live? If yes, does everything shut down? Or is it "Suck it up buttercup and get to work!"

I'm glad you had a fun day in the snow. :) I personally am a suck it up buttercup person, but the rest of society doesn't agree!

I get it.

My view is weather is normal. Carry on with life.

But I like the way you said it too.

Very cool LB! I agree with the Nova Scotia "shut er down" way of life. I remember when I was there and we were coming back from the greatest lunch I ever had @ Johns Lunch and we hit a little traffic jam on the bridge around 1PM on Friday. I asked what was going on and you told me that its an unwritten thing that on Friday some people "fuck off and go home" on Friday and its no big deal! I tell everyone I meet about that and no one says anything but good about it!

OOOH Henny, doing her little turn on the catwalk. WERK, chickenbitch, werk. XD

Colorado is generally in the "hahaha, go to school," category. And people get MAD if shit shuts down. I was working at Home Depot - which is a logical store to stay open as long as possible into the snow because suddenly everyone with a pickup remembers they need sandbags so they don't fishtail down the road (how do you live here and own a pickup and not keep those on hand ALL THE TIME, I don't know), and shovels, because also apparently people don't remember it snows until it actually does.
But then they get angry when we run out of sandbags and shovels. Like, it's not my fault you and two hundred other idiots put it off, asshole, don't yell at the cashier. We have ten thousand other heavy things you can buy, like concrete bags, and go get a garden shovel if you must. Relax.

What a wholesome slice of life.

Don't forget to mine some Bitcoin to keep the chickens warm!

this peacock is so royal and proud!)

the snowman is great!
half-dirt half-snow - it's just like here in the Crimea, frost and snow is kept very little, and all the beauty becomes dirty trash;)

photos of snow are amazing, dear!
<3

Great pics of the flowers. I love that too in the winter. I am from Colorado so we suck it up. It doesn't snow like it use when I was little. As long as you have a four wheel drive we suck it up. I do envy the way it is for you. Especially the Sunday thing. That is the way it should be everywhere.

School closure already!? WOW! That sounds very early. I wonder what will happen let's say in February :D Will it be closed for the full month?

Shops closed on Sunday is what I love on Switzerland. There is NOTHING opened except of gas stations and train stations. And the shops close earlier on Saturday and generally there are no shops open later then till 8PM.

Your chickens looks so healthy! Great job!

And I agree with you with not cleaning the garden. It is so nice to see how it develops over the year :)

Thank you for sharing another day of the Bowes family with us ;)

I wonder what will happen let's say in February :D Will it be closed for the full month?

The first year we lived here school was cancelled most of February, it was AMAZING! And they didn't even have to go in the summer to "make up" for the lost time.

I'm happy hearing the Swiss like to relax on Sunday as well...so good for the soul.

Lucky them! I remember we also had it closed at least once a year but only for a couple of days.. which is still more vacation :D

Yes! I think it's important that everyone can spend time with their families and Sundays are mostly the only days when the family really can get together..

@lyndsaybowes, Simple life and simplicity holds the greatness for sure. And these pictures are reflecting beautiful with essence of white art of nature. Stay blessed. 🙂

@lyndsaybowes, a beautiful homestead! I like the #ChickenBitchez Photo Shoot! Thank you!
And your sons seem to be real men! They help you care about the homestead.

Honey, are they still harassing you?

Dear Jebus... I knew that fake bernie account was trouble for the first time I seen his bleeping posts. =.= Have you considered making an alt account to hide away on until they get so bored they forget to harass you with downvotes?

Belated merry Christmas and holidays♡

Hello Lyndsey, how are you doing? Do you remember me, from way back? Hahaha... I'm sure you do! Happy to see you again after a long while and to know that you are still writing great stuffs. Lots of love

Thats the way to live. Whats the point of putting your life at risk for work or school. The same thing used to happen in the UK a little bad weather and things come to a stop. But you will still find people who will buck the trend and walk through blizzards because work cannot do without them so they think.
Here well we dont get snow. But the smallest excuse to stay at home is used. Rain is mainly the culprit. Or We just call a Fiesta up. There are plenty of Saints to use as We have found out over the years when we have gone to the shop only to find it closed. Happy days 😎😁⛄
