It feels like it is April!!! The snow is melting, around my area it's almost gone. This does not make me happy because I love snow. By the way things are going we won't have any snow for Christmas. I would really hate that if that would happen, but it won't stop me from haveing a nice time.

The snow is melting during the day, because it is warm. Today it got up to 7°C! That is very warm for this time of year. That is like weather you would expect in early spring.

Another thing is... that it's warm during the day, and there is lots of water, and is very damp, but during the night it gets cold, below freezing, and then all of the water freezes. This makes it slippery in some places.

Anyway, I hope that we get snow sometime soon again, but it does not look like it, according to the Weathern Network (Canada), and their Ottawa Forecast. Also if you look at the 14 day outlook, the weather looks quite warm, although the chart changes a lot. I hope that it changes and gets colder!!!

Here are some pics of the very little bit of snow in our backyard.

This is a picture (a horrible one- sorry) of my backyard. The snow is all wet and melting very fast, and completely gone in some places.

Another photo (a bit better) of my backyard, with only patches of snow.

So that's my little photo post for tonight. I do hope we get some more snow soon! I wish we were living somewhere like Wisconsin, or Alberta where there was lots of snow... like this, or this. We live in Canada... we don't get enough snow, and we get tooo much heat- like in the summer when it gets to a deadly 45°C. All I can say is... I hope for more snow!!!

Today is the final day of 2006. This year just flew by so fast! It was a good year, and hopefully 2007 will be too. It's just hours away from becoming a new year! We're going up to Chelsea, Quebec for this years new year. I'm also going to be taking more photos. It's really exciting.

We're going to the party around 5:00 tonight. I think it will be a really good party. We're supposed to be getting a little bit of snow tonight, too, which I'm very happy about. We already have snow on the ground. It was snowing yesterday and the day before. I wish that we had gotten snow on Christmas. At least we'll have snow tonight, on New Years Eve. I'll be taking more photos and posting them.

That's all for now! I'll be back in 2007!

Well, the holidays have officially come to an end. I am so upset! I don't want to go back to school! :-( The next holiday is March Break. I'm looking forward to it. After that, the school year is done, but that's not for another 5 months. It's hard to believe that we already blew through 5 months of school- now, only five more months to go. It won't be very long, because this new school seems to be fun-- so far! I don't think it's that long until we finish up second term or simester- whatever it's called. After that we go in to our final term/simester of school before the summer.

It's not that long to go! I do hope we can go on vacation during March break. It's almost been a year since our last real trip. We went to Dallas, Texas to visit family- that was last March.(you can read all about my travels on my TraveLOG.).

Tomorrow is school. Not much else to talk about. We're going out later today, and that's about it.

Today, it is soooo cold and windy, it's crazy! It's been snowing since early this morining, and it's supposed to continue on throughout the day. I like the snow, kind of. It might even stay for a while this time, who knows!

I'm almost done BlueSummerskies Design. I hope very much that I get it done soon. I'm sick today, so I'm staying home from school, so this will give me some time to get some of these done and up and running. Since I'm home today, and I don't really have too much to do, I will be on my computer for most of the day, blogging, and finishing up my little web projects here and there.

I'm staying home again today, because I'm sick. I'm going back to school tomorrow. I'm feeling a lot better now. I had a four day weekend- so far! :-)! I'm only going to have a three day week, because I stayed home yesterday, and I'm staying home today.

I've been working on my websites, and I'm nearly done BlueSummerskies Design!! I'm very excited to get it completely done.

Just a quick note. On the weekend, I will be going to visit my Grandparents, and I will not be here. I'll be back Sunday. I'm going to be leaving in about an hour. That's It!

One of the biggest winter celebrations have started. Winterlude started yesterday. It's one of Canada's biggest winter celebrations, and it's happening now. Lights, IIce sculptures, Skating on the world's longest skating rink- the Rideau Canal. I've been to Winterlude before, at day and at night and it is really fun, and it looks really nice with the ice sculptures, and lights. Some of tthe ice sculptures even light up. It's really nice.

Anyone around the Ottawa-Gatineau area should go to winterlude... Or if you are on vacation or a trip to ottawa, now is a great time to go!

That's about it!

Today marks half of the School year is done! New High School Simester started today (At Schools here in Ottawa at least). It went by fast, and now just a little more to go, and this school year is done! It is exciting. I can't wait until it is done!

That's It! It's just good news that School is nearly done!

Today is my birthday!! It's hard to believe that it's already here again. On Saturday, my family wants to throw a little 'party' for me. It's not going to be too big. I'm looking forward to having the party.

I know that there will be some gifts for me (yay!) And I'm looking forward to everything. I just thought I'd write this! That's it!

I wanted to post for all of my readers and anyone visiting this site. Happy Valentine's Day! It's here again, and I completely forgot!! I was going to make some graphics and nice stuff for today, but I forgot. I wanted to wish everone celebrating tonight a very happy night!

The weather here is FREEZING and there is blowing snow, and a lot of new snow on the grownd. I cant wait for the warm weather to come!

We Even have a weather warning by Environment Canada:

I've been doing horrible at posting to this blog. I'm going to try really hard to keep it updated, even if it's just going to be small little posts, or Links Collection Posts. I've been good at updating Shanebellinger.com, and I also have written quite a bit at BlueSummerSkies.

I really want to get some photos posted here, but I have not had the chance to go around and post photos. I'm going to do that soon!

This is a personal weblog. It's weird having two. My other site was supposed to be a personal blog. This site was intended to be a Photoblog, and I also host a travel blog, and a test site on this domain. Since I don't have time to take photos right now, I've also been using this as a personal blog, but I write my stuff on shanebellinger.com, and there is nothing left for me to talk about. That's why this site is not being updated too often. I WILL TRY HARDER!!

That's about it! I will keep this updated!!!

This weekend will be a three day weekend for us at our school!! It will also be a three day week for me because I'm not going next Friday. I'm sooo happy about this. I get time to actually do stuff now! Next weekend I will probably be away, and that's about it!

I just really wanted to post this. I know it was a really lame post. I can't wait to start taking photos again!

This weekend we're finally going to be doing some stuff that's amusing. We're going to go out and shop places, and then we're going to go skiing or tubing!!! It's really exciting! It's the first time I've done any winter activities yet this winter. I'm glad I'm going to get to do some stuff before the snow melts.

I might take pictures, but I'm not quite sure yet. I don't want to loose the cameras while skiing, or get it broken, but I'll see. I want to get some photos posted to this site!!!

I can't wait for tomorrow! It's also going to be a short week because it's the winter activity day next Friday, and I wont be going, and Monday's a PD day at school- no school! Two three day weekends and a three day week! I'm so happy!

That's it for now! I hope to post some photos!

It's already the very last day of February! I am so excited! There is lots of snow melting. I can't wait for Spring to come either! I am looking forward to the warm weather and all the green again!! I hate all of the cold and the snow. I just want Spring to get here!!! I can't wait!!!

March is here now, and it's not very good. It's freezing Rain outside right now. It's quite cold too. Maybe it will warm up again in a few weeks. It looks like the weather is trying to balance itself. Looking at the Weather History on the Weather Channel's website- it looks like it will be warm toward the first week of April- like it was last year. I really do hope so!

I really want to start seeing the green and the flowers here again- right now it is brownish white- because some of the snow go thin, and dirt is coming through. It just looks ugly and boring.

I'm excited for warm weather!!

I know I keep saying I'll post pictures, and they are coming soon!

March Break is here! One week vacation with no School! I am so happy about this! I wil be sure to take lots of pictures. The weather here is also supposed to warm up, so maybe more of the snow will be gone after the break. I am soo happy that it's finally here! This is just a quick boring post, to let readers know what's going on. Will Be taking Pics!

I completely forgot about this blog and my other site. I have been so busy with other things, I just did not have any time to make any posts, post any pictures or anything. The last few days were WARM! It was like 25°C out and it was just beautiful. It's cooler today because there was rain, and and extremely strong winds, that actually did some damage in some areas.

It's supposed to go back to those warm tempuratures again soon.

I have been very busy with school. We're getting lots to do. It's almost the end of the year, it's coming fast, which is so good!! I can't wait! I hope this will be a really good summer.

We don't really have too much plans, but I do hope that we can go traveling. I'm looking forward to the end of the year!

That's about it!

It's June! This is the final moth of school! I am so excited and I just can't wait for the sumemrs holidays to get here! Just 15 more days and it's here! I hope we will get the chance to do some travelling this year.

During the summer, I wil be able to do so much stuff, and I won't have to worry about my school work getting in the way. I have not taken any pictures in soooo long, so I plan to do that over the summer. I hope that during the summer I will get some time to blog more too, as I have not touched them in so long.

I can't wait!!!

There is now just four more days to get through, and school is done again for two months. This is very exciting! I've been waiting for this break for so long now! School was great this year though, and I met so many new people- most of which were very nice, and some... quite odd.

I really like this school I'm going to, and I hope we will be living in this area for a few more years, so I can graduate at this school. It is my favorite school in all of the schools I've been to.

I am looking forward to this break though, it has been a very long ten month school year, and this two month holiday will be good.

Just four more days!

I'm so behind I still have not uploaded photos that I was supposed to a little over a year ago. Here they are now. This collection of photos were taken in Chelsea, QC, Canada. Most of them are of the Outaouais river and the surrounding autumn scenery. I'm sure that mostly friends and family read this site, but I know that there are also a few others. Whoever you are, I hope that you enjoy these photos!
