As the first 2017 Jukebox post, I wanted to go for a classic of Québec’s music. And you can’t go any more classic than Gilles Vigneault! Plus, this is probably the best ode to the wintery side of La Belle Province… I hope you will enjoy, and if you have music from your part of…… Continue reading Cyranny’s Jukebox…
I know some of you are envious when Mother Nature is granting us with a snowstorm. I totally understand you. We’re getting 10 to 20 cm today, in Montréal, and here’s proof of what I am saying. To please those of you who didn’t get your snow share for Christmas, here is your last…… Continue reading Taking orders…
The Snow Battle Challenge is snowballing (no, not the sexual thing… it is just getting bigger and bigger…. no, not the sexual thing either! Urghhh) And my new friend, from Crazy Love Parents has joined in….. So pay a visit to her display of snowy backyard, and maybe you’ll be tempted to jump in with…… Continue reading Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…
Montréal entered a Frost competition against Denmark last year. I really really wanted Vikingland to win… First, because I always want Denmark to be the best, but it also would have meant a not so dang cold winter here. Desværre (unfortunately), we won!

And the…… Continue reading I remember…
December Moon is much like me… Full, blurry, and in the dark. Two Moon sisters on a break. Happy full moon, my Lovelies!
Ok I stole that one… But I only copy great people 😉 Yesterday and today, snow caught up with us in Montréal, and this is what I came upon when I got out of the building for my break. The tiniest, cutest, most lovable snow man I had ever seen! Here’s my right foot…… Continue reading Some people’s kids!
Rain Nope, not anymore… I wouldn’t want to seem obsessed by the sudden arrival of snow, but I just couldn’t keep myself from doing a Before/After post. Same time yesterday… (Same tid i går – in Danish, I am practicing for February, you know? Februar, in Danish, på dansk, in Danish!) …. same view, today.…… Continue reading November… (same in Danish)
Narrator: A year passed: winter changed into spring, spring changed into summer, summer changed back into winter, and winter gave spring and summer a miss and went straight on into autumn… until one day… Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Special thanks to Sarah, for reminding me of the quote 🙂 I just loooove that…… Continue reading Sne…
Some people like the sights of winter… The whiteness of snow on bending fir trees’ branches. The Christmas colorful lights firing up the freezing nights, starting mid-November, and lingering until mid January… Some people crave the feeling of Spring… The warmth of the first rays of sunlight on their bare arms again. The tickling…… Continue reading The sound of fall…
