SNOW!

We finally got snow in Hamilton, we finally got snow in Hamilton!!! It was hilarious watching Guinness experience snow for the first time - he was terrified of the white stuff on the stairs until he figured out he could eat it, run through it, and not get hurt... very exciting.

Today I convinced my neighbours that I'm a headcase - I cycled into work. Yesterday they were shutting down everything because of the snow and freezing rain, which isn't too terrible, and here I was on a bicycle today. Without ice tires. It was great!

This afternoon I'm taking the dog back to the dogpark for a run - he LOVES it there - lots of energy being expelled - it's a giant fenced-in area at the SPCA where doggies come and play. Our first trip last week had him playing with new friends, our second trip on Sunday wasn't quite so good - he ran a lot, but there was an agressive dog that didn't realise Guinness was only trying to play... ah well. No harm done, tired pooch, and sleep for all!

I'm also going to head to Green Venture, an eco-friendly place in the east end fo the city for my new composter... oddly enough, there aren't many places to get compost bins here - fortunately the city has now instituted a compost program, but still - worms in the basement will work just fine for me, and that leaves lots of fertilizer for the garden next spring!

Hmmm, physical adventure, my pets and an environmental comment - I think that touches on all important aspects for my blog for today!!
