A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

Skating, skiing, sledding, making snowmen and snow angels are quite common when we have snow 😉 I guess most youth go snowboarding now.

Probably, I haven’t done any of those things in years! Last winter I worked and shoveled snow 😦

yes you do! There’s a blizzard bearing down on me tomorrow/Sunday. Maybe after shoveling I’ll get to make some snow angels! 🙂 If I don’t collapse from shoveling into a heap first 🙂

Check out the sales for snow blowers; my son got one two years ago; his driveway has room for 5 cars so he got fed of shoveling.

I live in a development and they plow the driveways. I just have to shovel my car out so I can move it from its space. Otherwise I would already have a snow blower.

Oh well now then you are blessed; I felt so bad when I got home at midnight two nights ago with 2 cars parked on the street while the owners had to shovel a space to drive in since the city plough had made a heavy three foot snow bank in their spots. Boy do I remember that and do not miss it.

We put cardboard on the windshield and lift our wipers because we get so many ice storms…but the cardboard will save you work.

oh now that’s a good idea! I lifted my wipers so they’d not be frozen to the glass and backed into my assigned space.

so you can just rest the wipers on the cardboard
