Awesome. Your laundrey line now looks high-tech. You can claim it is a telescope to measure gravitational waves. I remember growing up in Winnipeg and loving those snow banks and all those fantastic shapes it would take on as they melted. Perfect for make believe.
Got a giggle out of that sign too. Just be grateful it wasn't falling icicles. They do the work of Darwin every year.
And I googled. A flock of turkeys is called a rafter. How do you like that?
Ha haa, my high tech laundry science project. Now that you mention it, it DOES look like some sort of antennae for picking up SOMETHING from space. Or somewhere. I have heard of people being Darwin'd by ice in the big city. Yowza, that would hurt. Maybe only for a short time. NYC must be really bad. When I was there, it was just streets and tall buildings. NO room to run away.
Wow, there is a real name for a gaggle of turkeys. Where in the world, I wonder, did a 'rafter' come from? Gotta love it. But I guess if a bunch of crows is a murder, anything is game. Who makes these things up?
I would imagine Winnipeg had some HUUUUGGGEEE drifts or plow piles. Now that's real snow...
They seemed pretty big to me but then I was pretty small at the time:)
Hee hee, that relativistic, knee high to a grasshopper thing is so 'big' in life. I went back to my old neighborhood years back, and WOW, it was a small place. Seemed so HUGE at the time, walking down the road to play in the woods. But these drifts seemed big this year, and I'm taller than that grasshopper now...so I'm sure yours would still be big. Maybe you can go back sometime and see how you measure up.
I don't know, DD. It's Winnipeg in the winter:)
Never been there, but I'm sure it is a lovely spot. And cold and snowy in winter. I don't really miss that stuff all that much. I guess I've gone soft(er)...
I have definitely gone soft:)
It makes us all squishy. And more lovable ( :
