The joy of colour


The Snowfall Warning for yesterday came true and we now have a few more inches of fresh snow. I had my volunteer shift yesterday, so had no choice but to go out. I also had to call in at a Delivery Service branch to sort out what to do about a computer I had ordered. The last notice I had received gave the estimated date of delivery as 16 December, so I gave them a call to check. I was told there was no sign of my tracking number and that it probably meant that the box was still south of the Canada/US border. The next day was the High River Christmas Bird Count (half an hour's drive south of Calgary) and I felt pretty confident that my computer wouldn't be arriving. Of course, when I got home in the evening, there was the attempted delivery notice. They don't make more than one attempt and so I was left wondering how on earth I was going to get the heavy, bulky box from my vehicle to the house. There is so much snow piled up around my car that there was no possible way I'd be able to do this. However, it was a choice between letting the young girl carry it out to my car and then having to let it stay there, or having the box returned to Dell! So, into the car it had to go - and then the nice young girl offered to drive to my place after she finished work, just so that she could carry it from my car to my front door. I was SOOO grateful and my stress level went way down. Gave her $30 and I hope she enjoys spending it : ) Now the box can sit safely in my computer room till next year, when the dreaded process of transferring all the data begins, ha. And so ends my boring little story, lol!
This photo was taken at the Reader Rock Garden on 26 July 2013. Though the sun is shining today, there is so much snow everywhere, so much white, that some bright colour is really welcome. You run the risk of getting stuck if you stop somewhere, so it will have to be a day at home. I still have the last of my overseas Christmas cards and letters to get done - though I will then have to go out to mail them. I don't think I've ever been this late before.
