Dear Diary:
Aug. 12 - Moved into our new home in Belleville, Ontario. It is
so beautiful here. The hills and river valleys are so picturesque. I have a
beautiful old oak tree in my front yard. Can hardly wait to see the change in
the seasons. This is...truly God's Country.
Oct. 14 - Canada is such a
gorgeous place to live, one of the real special places on Earth. The leaves are
turning a multitude of different colors. I love all of the shades of reds,
oranges and yellows, they are so bright. I want to walk through all of the
beautiful hills and spot some white tail deer. They are so graceful, certainly
they must be the most peaceful creatures on Earth. This must be
paradise.
Nov. 11 - Deer season opens this week. I can't imagine why
anyone would want to shoot these elegant animals. They are the very symbol of
peace and tranquility here in Canada. I hope it snows soon. I love it
here!
Dec. 2 - It snowed last night. I woke to the usual wonderful sight:
everything covered in a beautiful blanket of white. The oak tree is magnificent.
It looks like a postcard. We went out and swept the snow from the steps and
driveway. The air is so crisp, clean and refreshing. We had a snowball fight. I
won, and the snowplow came down the street. He must have gotten too close to the
driveway because we had to go out and shovel the end of the driveway again. What
a beautiful place. Nature in harmony. I love it here!
Dec. 12 - More
snow last night. I love it! The plow did his cute little trick again. What a
rascal. A winter wonderland. I love it here!
Dec. 19 - More snow -
couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work in time. I'm exhausted from all
of the shoveling. And that snowplow!
Dec. 21 - More of that white **bleep**
coming down. I've got blisters on my hands and a kink in my back. I think that
the snowplow driver waits around the corner until I'm done shoveling the
driveway. **bleep**.
Dec. 25 - White Christmas? More freakin' snow. If I
ever get my hands on the guy who drives that snowplow, I swear I'll
castrate him. And why don't they use more salt on these roads to melt this
**bleep**??
Dec. 28 - It hasn't stopped snowing since Christmas. I have been
inside since then, except of course when that "Snowplow Harry" comes by.
Can't go anywhere, cars are buried up to the windows. Weather man says to expect
another 10 inches. Do you have any idea how many shovelfuls 10 inches
is??
Jan. 1 - Happy New Year? The way it's coming down it won't melt
until the 4th of July! The snowplow got stuck down the road and the driver
actually had the gall to come and ask to borrow a shovel! I told him I'd broken
6 already this season.
Jan. 4 - Finally got out of the house. We went to
the store to get some food and a **bleep** deer ran out in front of my car and I hit
the animal. It did $3,000 in damage to the car. Those beasts ought to be
killed. The hunters should have a longer season if you ask me.
Jan. 27 -
Warmed up a little and rained today. The rain turned the snow into ice and the
weight of it broke the main limb of the oak tree in the front yard and it went
through the roof. I should have cut that old piece of wood into fireplace wood
when I had the chance.
May 3 - Took my car to the local garage. Would
you believe the whole underside of the car is rusted away from all of that darn
salt they dump on the road? Car looks like a bashed up, heap of rusted cow dung.
May 10 - Sold the car, the house, and moved to Arizona . I can't
imagine why anyone in their freakin' mind would ever want to live in the God
forsaken place called Canada!
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."--Unknown
