Funny Winter in Canada
Old Man Winter and Jack Frost ~ Having Fun in Canada
A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water. ~ Carl Reiner
How to survive Winter in Canada:
Took the next 3 photos today!
In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone; Snow had fallen
, snow on snow, Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, Long ago. Christina G. Rossetti
And for the season it was winter, and they that know the winters
of that country know them to be sharp and violent,
and subject to cruel and fierce storms. William Bradford
The Christmas Song
(Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) : Lyrics
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa’s on his way; He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother’s child is going to spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I’m offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although its been said many times, many ways, A very Merry Christmas to you
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape – the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show. ~Andrew Wyeth
One kind word can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb
Jack Frost is a sprite-like character with roots in Viking lore. There, he is known as Jokul Frosti (“icicle frost”). In Britain and United States, Jack is a variant of Old Man Winter and is held responsible for frosty weather, for nipping the nose and toes in such weather, coloring the foliage in autumn, and leaving fernlike patterns on cold windows in winter.
we’ll never know who sent her the little lady named winter
but she danced into our hearts and stole away sweet autumn’s grace
filled our hearts with her sparkling face of snow and cold ice her laughter in the winds calling to us like a friend
dress up warm and come out to play ’cause nothing’s as fun as a cold winter’s day
STARE AT THE SNOWMAN FOR 3 SECONDS THEN CLICK ON IT

Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements ofbadminton, tennis, and table tennis. Pickleball is a sport in which two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children’s backyard pastime but quickly became popular among adults as a fun game for players of all skill levels. ~wikipedia
A few Pickleball jokes
A pickleball player is suing the city for not providing the proper facilities for the growing number of pickleball players. He wants to get the city rolling towards a new pickleball facilty.
He may soon get his day in court
Q? How many pickleball players does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A! What do you mean the bulb was out? It wasn’t out, it was in!
To err is human. To put the blame on someone else is doubles.
A badminton player, a squash player and a pickleball player decided to stay at a country inn, but when they arrived there, the innkeeper told them he only had 2 beds free, one of them would have to sleep in the barn.
“That’s OK”, said the badminton player, “I`ll sleep in the barn.” So off he went.
A few moments later there was a knock at the inn door. The innkeeper opened the door to see the badminton player who explained that he was unable to sleep in the barn as there was a pig in there, and he could not sleep with a pig.
“That’s OK,” said the squash player. “I’ll sleep there.”
So, off he went. A few moments later there was a knock at the inn door. The innkeeper opened the door to see the squash player there, who explained that he was unable to sleep in the barn as there was a cow in there, and he could not sleep with a cow.
“That’s OK,” said the pickleball player, “I`ll sleep there.” So, off he went. A few moments later there was a knock at the inn door. The innkeeper opened the door to see a cow and a pig standing there.
“That’s OK”, said the badminton player, “I`ll sleep in the barn.” So off he went.
