Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking time to come and visit me here!

The following photos are my own, which I took on my cellphone this month on my walks here in Montreal. You can click on each image to see a larger view. These were taken on the outside windows of a veterinary clinic/animal hospital.
"Vet et nous" is French for "Vet and us"
The text in the red heart "Comme s'il etait le notre" is French for "Like he was ours"
The text in the red heart "Comme s'il etait le notre" is French for "Like he was ours"
These last three photos...I took them today, November 12th, on my cellphone after our first snow here in Montreal! I love the snow, and it looks like a winter wonderland! You can click on each image to see a larger view.
I will continue to share more of my snow photos in future posts. I hope you enjoy them. :)
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal! Enjoy! :)
This video is very touching, you may need a tissue. However, it is a true and beautiful story that I just had to share! Although this may bring tears to your eyes, the ending is a very happy one!
Now that the weather is cold, (at least in many parts of the world), we are in the cold and flu season. If I have a cold or cough, I do not buy over the counter cough medicine, as especially if you are taking medication, there can be serious side effects. I use remedies like this! I hope this will help you in the event of a cold.
Hallelujah by Raimy Salazar (pan flute instrumental)

dear linda! morning greetings from Malaysia. I have always been in love with snow! the white scenery...truly magical. u are lucky to be born in snowy country! I missed my snow moments when I was staying in Nottingham wayback in 2007-2008 and 2010-2011. Hoping to have snow vacation soon... anyway, for today, i choose this quote: "Hope is the bridge between today and tomorrow."
Olá, Linda, vim conhecer seu blog através do Blog de Pedro Luso, meu marido. Gostei muito das fotos e dos pensamentos! Obrigada pela linda partilha. Seguirei seu blog assim que resolvermos o problema com Blogger. Abraços daqui do Sul do Brasil.
Yes, I heard on the news that Montreal got a big snowfall, bigger than forecast. Seems winter has truly arrived! I enjoyed listening to that beautiful rendition of "Hallelujah," thanks -- and what stunning scenery!
Looks like you got clobbered with snow. I love looking at it but don't like being in it or cold weather either. We winter in Florida. I do have a cold right now and will try the cold remedy that you're shared . Thank you, Have a great week.
You have a lot of good ones this week - my favorite though is: If you feel hurt by people, you must keep in mind that they are not hurting you because you are you. They are doing it because they are them. I also watched Fluffy. Not sure why he brought him his phone but it was great.
Dear Linda, thank you so much for your recent winter wonderland photos. I can feel the cold and breathe in the crisp cold air when I was looking at your 3 photos. Hope you are having a warm cozy sleep now in the cold cold winter night. Will you be making a snowman ⛄ for us, your global readers ?
petit bonjour en cette moitié de semaine bel article nous avons un temps superbe avec un beau soleil et des tempèratures très douce pour une moitié Novembre , je te souhaite une belle journée de Jeudi amitiés
Dear Linda, the winter photos are such an amazing and awesome view with white fluffy snow. Beautiful! And the Panflute piece was so heavenly, thanks for sharing.
I loved this one: "Winter vibes...a cozy fire and a cup of tea make cold weather magical." When I read it I realized there are hundreds of ways to make everything magical ❤️ Oh you have snow ! And no mosquitoes, let's not forget that 😀
Linda, I love your photos of the snow! How I wish I were there! I would go out and walk in the snow (if that is even possible) and breathe in the cold fresh air!
What I can think of Linda, is, make yourself a warm cup of tea or coffee with a snack and enjoy them in front of your window with view of the winter wonderland. Isn't that a wonderful idea? Enjoy, god bless and count your blessings. Stay warm, cosy and safe.
Dear Linda, I always love your quotes of Tiny Buddha. I love your snow photos too. We have not got any snow here yet, but I guess it will come here too in the next weeks or so. Take care!
Hello Linda, Another inspiring post, I enjoy reading all the memes. I like the one about Hope being the bridge. Looks like a lot of snow, none here yet. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
E' già arrivata la neve a Montreal, che bello !!! Da noi , penso che non arriverà neanche quest'anno ! Fa troppo caldo. Belle le tue vignette, ricche di saggezza !! Ciao. Un saluto
I like looking at your snow pictures as long as we don't get snow here! I never liked snow even when I was a child (possibly because I got sick easily), but I love looking at if from afar :-D
I couldn't stop laughing with the skunk and dog prank, and I loved how Fluffy saved his elderly owner's life. Wow! Thanks, Linda, for always making my day. Blessings!
I must say that I didn't read all of your suggestion today. Why? Because I got caught by this one : "If you feel hurt by people, you must keep in mind that they are not hurting you because you are you. They are doing it because they are them." This is so very much ideal for me today that I almost cried. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Ahoj Lindo, tolik trefných a pravdivých citátů mě hodně oslovilo. A také Tvé zasněžené fotografie. Já rovněž miluji sníh, u nás v České republice je ho rok od roku méně a bývá čím dál vzácnější. Už si ani nepamatuji, kdy jsme měli naposledy sníh na vánoce. Snad se nějakého sněhu letos dočkáme, zasněžená krajina je opravdu kouzelná, jako na Tvých fotkách. Srdečně zdravím z Ostravy! Katka
A great ,beautiful and heartwarming post dear Linda 🥰 I always enjoy your wise words,they are needed to all of us no doubt so we can stay in light 🤗 What a wonderful variety of amazing videos 👍♥️ The cat video is really something awesome and lovely 🥹
Hello Dear Friend, On a positive note, I haven't seen any mosquitoes in months. Ha Ha Ha... I am still laughing... we are having a warm up and those crazy mosquitoes are out and about. I do not know how they do it, it was 23 this morning, but we are in the 50's now and they are buzzing around. Ha!
I slowly scrolled down through the post till I reached this point - It was like peacefully strolling on the lawn, while getting soaked in a steady drizzle of positivity. My today's pick - hurting you not because you are you but because they are them.
That seems a very heavy fall of snow for so early in winter. It seems so sad to me that after so many months of cold, that the Canadian summer can be spoilt by the swarms of mosquitos.
That's a lot of snow! Nice! :) Great story about the kitten and his cell phone. I took a recent fall and couldn't get up...now I have a smart watch I can use to text or call and have a hook down low where I can hang the watch while I shower--just in case. Makes me feel a lot safer. :)
Such a wonderful blog you have here. I always see things that encourage me, teach me endurance, patience, and help me to laugh. Love the snow pictures.
Hello Linda I did enjoy seeing your snow photographs. Here in the UK we have a weather warning for heavy rain as Storm Claudia approaches! I'm not planning on going out anywhere tomorrow (Friday). I will stay indoors in the dry and spend time reading a good book :)
I love how each quote blends mindfulness, courage, and everyday wisdom into something comforting and uplifting. Those photos add a personal, tender touch, making the reflections feel even more grounded and real.
Hi Linda Love your quotes I had to laugh about the mosquito one and I love this one "If you feel hurt by people, you must keep in mind that they are not hurting you because you are you. They are doing it because they are them." One still a work in progress. I like your photos as well So you live in the French part of Canada?
I love all the cat photos/quotes. I am becoming more and more a cat person as I watch these two that I have inherited from my neighbor. They are really becoming a part of my mind and heart, and I think that's a good thing. I love all your pictures/quotes. I always feel relaxed and peaceful after visiting here.
My tomcat passed away last week. I still can't get over it. Huhuhu... You can check out my blog for details. Kindly translate it into English if you want to read the story. Thanks.
I hope, I fit, dear friend Linda. With my surname translated "Emperor" it is tempting to just call it a throne 😉 Courage... next week again! Oh, clutter... Henry Ford - thank you, Linda, THAT will help me - I´ll print it and put it at my PC! I think cold weather will never be magical to me ;-) But yes to the mossies not being here! Oh, and do I learn atm! Thank you for refreshing my French! My friend fK lived in France for two years and hers is hence much better than mine - I "lived" there two weeks at age 14 - and she challenges me at times... so... thank you, it comes back! Oh, that snow! I wanted a cat at age 4 - I got a German shepherd dog... must I say more? 😉 To Fluffy!!! See why I wanted a cat? Acerola is what helps when you feel you get a flu! All natural, too! Thank you for yours - so easy and cheaper and.. well, healthy! Much love and very WARM hugs to you 🥰
Your snow photos are so beautiful! I love snow too! You've chosen them so well again! The photos with the sayings from the veterinary clinic are great. Thank you, and I wish you a lovely weekend! Hugs, Elke
We also do that cold and flu tea... it's works wonders! I agree that the only thing positive about winter is no mosquitos. I like the quote about depression being the loss of hope... I truly agree! Have a great weekend!
We got dumped on with snow too and I loooooove it. Was sooooo pretty and with our Christmas trees up for a bit now, just made it all even prettier. Love that you showed us you winter photos!
Oh Linda - snow - so pretty but so early or so it seems. We have had a few flakes with some icy bridges last week...back into the 50's now. You had me smiling at the cat with the warning about not having had coffee. The pan flute with Hallelujah was beautiful by Raimy Salazar. As always I leave your blog with my spirit uplifted and good things for my day. Hugs!
Querida Linda, Que belas reflexões na sua postagem, também adorei as fotos da neve e o vídeo muito engraçado da pegadinha! Precisamos sorrir mais e ter momentos de paz e alegria. Um beijo!
I heartily thank you for this post of yours, Linda dear, to visit you here always make my day a bit brighter, thank you for being such a beautiful person, gifted with sense of humour, a sweet heart and a sensitive soul. Have a blessed day and weekend ahead XO Daniela @ ~ My little old world ~
Oi Linda! Que maravilha ver a neve, por aqui isso não acontece e eu me lembro da primeira vez que vi neve numa viagem: foi mágico! Gostei também das fotos na parede da clínica veterinária (muito cute) e das mensagens. Enfim gostei de tudo! Bom final de semana! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
Querida Linda! Que post maravilhoso! Adorei tudo: o texto, as fotos e o blog que eu ainda não conhecia. Com certeza voltarei muito mais vezes por aqui. Bjssss, Marli
So many things on your posts speak to me, Linda! It's uncanny. The skunk gag was hilarious! The cat rescue story was amazing and "Hallelujah" was beautiful. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs and love!
Wow you did get a good amount of snow, it does look pretty but I can wait until we get snow, I am still in the mood to enjoy Autumn, I like to wait at least until December :) I agree that nature does calm me, but so does my craft time, even though my room is a bit of a mess and cluttered right now.
Dear Linda, first of all, thank you for visiting my blog and for leaving a comment. I really like your pictures of snow. We haven’t had any this year. A snowy Christmas is always just a hope for us. I look forward to your further pictures of snow. I wish you all the best from Hungary. Éva
The snowy photos truly capture the magic of winter and make the season feel cozy and inviting. I enjoyed the mix of uplifting quotes and lighthearted touches, especially the cat memes that add warmth and humor. This post feels like a gentle pause from the busyness of life.
Thank you, Linda for sharing all those thoughtful quotes this week but also for making me smile. 😊 I enjoyed seeing your snowy photos. You seem to have had quite a lot of it. We have just had a lot of rain over the last day or two but it is clearing now. That version of Hallelujah is hauntingly beautiful. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!
The clutter quote resonates so much with me. In a few years I hope to be living in a tiny cottage with nothing but a comfy sofa, some house plants and a couple of cats :)
I liked the video of the cat saving its owner ! I should train my Rosie to bring me my mobile, nice quotes too ! and you have snow already, we have 14°C !
Such a refreshing collection of thoughts, wisdom, and cozy cat vibes, Linda! 😺✨ Your posts are always like a warm cup of tea for the soul — comforting, thoughtful, and just so human. I especially loved that quote about stress settling like muddy water… so true, and beautifully expressed.
Thank you for taking the time to curate all this for us. It’s a little gem each time I visit. Wishing you a peaceful day filled with light and gentle inspiration.
Dear linda. warm greeting again from kuala lumpur. we don't have snow but the rainy season has started in few parts of my country..at my place, the weather is sometime cloudy, gloomy and drizzling...anyway, for today i choose this quote: "A holiday is an opportunity to journey within. It is also a chance to chill, to relax. It is when I switch on my rest mode." my lil family and me will be having a short holiday next weekend (still within malaysia) but we'll travel by air (on board of flight) for 2 and 1/2 hrs flight to reach the destination. take care linda. hoping to see more snow photos from montreal!!
Such a beautiful and soothing post. Your words about muddy water clearing on its own truly resonate with me. And the winter photos of Montreal are wonderfully atmospheric. Thank you for this moment of calm. Greetings from Cracow, Poland🙂
Bom dia, Linda A citação sobre o perdão é linda, perdoar liberta o coração. Você tira ótimas fotos com o seu celular, a neve é espetacular. Ri muito com o vídeo do cachorro e o gambá, os outros vídeos não consegui entender porque não traduz para o português, desejo um ótimo domingo, bjs querida.
Yes, I'd be as grumpy as that cat...if you're talking to me before I've had my coffee...lol! Thanks for the lovely photos of the snow, so pristine & white...and thanks for the words of inspiration too.
You've certainly found a lot of great memes. Loved the look on the cats face talking about before coffee, lol. And no mosquitos. Though I'm not a fan of winter at all and have already started my count down til spring.
Das sind wieder viele schöne Sprüche. Am Besten gefällt mir das Bild mit der Brücke und dem Spruch "Hoffnung ist die Brücke zwischen heute und morgen."
What good is summer warmth if there is no winter cold to give it sweetness? Well said — for a month now I’ve been hearing people complain about autumn, November, and so on. Honestly, I don’t quite understand it; it’s as if we wanted to be dancing or doing sports all the time. One has to rest eventually. You took beautiful photos — the snow-covered Christmas trees are lovely, and those pictures at the vet’s office are moving. Dear Linda, I’m sending you lots of warm greetings!
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit me and for your comments. Please use words and not only emoticons. All comments are moderated to deter spam, so for this reason comments will not appear immediately.
I like your snow pics. We had snow but it's gone for right now.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your cat memes. They're always true!
The mosquito one is good too!
The snow always makes everything look magical. We just have a lot of rain at the moment.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that cat in the living dangerously meme.
ReplyDeleteYour antidote for a stressed mind works. Sometimes I walk away form a problem and later come back to it with the solution.
ReplyDeletedear linda! morning greetings from Malaysia. I have always been in love with snow! the white scenery...truly magical. u are lucky to be born in snowy country!

ReplyDeleteIt does look like a winter wonderland in your area, Linda. Do stay warm , cozy and safe and thank you for the uplifting post. Hugs
ReplyDeleteMuch to engage with, as usual in your posts. Thanks.

I always love the ones with cats in them, and then I saw the video about Fluffy! Wow!! Loved it! Thanks for all the feel-goods!!
ReplyDeleteGosh, you got a lot of snow! We got off easy with just a dusting.
ReplyDeleteYes, I heard on the news that Montreal got a big snowfall, bigger than forecast. Seems winter has truly arrived! I enjoyed listening to that beautiful rendition of "Hallelujah," thanks -- and what stunning scenery!

I also watched Fluffy. Not sure why he brought him his phone but it was great.
muhteşem bir manzara!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, you got quite a bit of snow! I love the vet's photos! The animals and their people look like they are inside there and looking out.
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, thank you so much for your recent winter wonderland photos.
ReplyDeleteI can feel the cold and breathe in the crisp cold air when I was looking at your 3 photos.
Hope you are having a warm cozy sleep now in the cold cold winter night. Will you be making a snowman ⛄ for us, your global readers ?
petit bonjour en cette moitié de semaine bel article nous avons un temps superbe avec un beau soleil et des tempèratures très douce pour une moitié Novembre , je te souhaite une belle journée de Jeudi amitiés

ReplyDeleteOh you have snow ! And no mosquitoes, let's not forget that 😀
Oh I love the snow, nice to see it up your way. The lemon cinnamon concoction looks lovely, cold or no cold.
ReplyDeleteI love those snow pictures!
ReplyDeleteWow, Linda. That's quite some snow in your neck of the woods! The vet sounds like a decent person :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to say we don't have skunks here but I know enough about them to flee the scene if they appear.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your winter wonderland photos.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love your photos of the snow! How I wish I were there! I would go out and walk in the snow (if that is even possible) and breathe in the cold fresh air!
ReplyDeleteMerci Linda pour ce moment plaisant passé sur ta page.
ReplyDeleteEt BONNE JOURNEE
Aquí todavía no hace frío y gripe y covid están controlados.
ReplyDeleteBuenos consejos.
Gracias.
Wow, lots of snow up there, Linda. I’m so happy your transportation issues are resolved now. Woo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteWhat I can think of Linda, is, make yourself a warm cup of tea or coffee with a snack and enjoy them in front of your window with view of the winter wonderland. Isn't that a wonderful idea? Enjoy, god bless and count your blessings. Stay warm, cosy and safe.
ReplyDeleteYou have snow already? Over here it is cold and wet; but no snow.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and God bless.
Dear Linda,
ReplyDeleteI always love your quotes of Tiny Buddha. I love your snow photos too. We have not got any snow here yet, but I guess it will come here too in the next weeks or so. Take care!
Muy buenas todas las frases y viñetas, son muchas, volveré mas tarde a terminar de leerlas, Abrazo
ReplyDeleteThat white cat does look crabby. Nice snow photos, Linda. Touching tale regarding the pet cat.
ReplyDeleteThe first snow always looks like someone dropped a load of melted marshmallow from a plane.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteAnother inspiring post, I enjoy reading all the memes.
I like the one about Hope being the bridge.
Looks like a lot of snow, none here yet.
Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
Great selection. We can all use hope and stress relief
ReplyDeleteE' già arrivata la neve a Montreal, che bello !!! Da noi , penso che non arriverà neanche quest'anno ! Fa troppo caldo. Belle le tue vignette, ricche di saggezza !! Ciao. Un saluto
ReplyDeleteI like looking at your snow pictures as long as we don't get snow here! I never liked snow even when I was a child (possibly because I got sick easily), but I love looking at if from afar :-D
ReplyDeleteNow, this thing about clutter. I don’t have clutter but I do have a lot of stuff! And I’m keeping it!
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by my blog. I visited your page as well and really enjoyed it. I’ll be delighted to follow you.
Warm regards,
fun to watch videos....
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing
I liked the one about needing winter to appreciate summer because I am cold this morning. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been missing your encouraging memes each day...I'm glad to be back so I can get caught up. You are such a blessing.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Linda. I like the quote about the hope, which is the bridge between today and tomorrow. Those cats are marvelous creatures.
ReplyDeletedear Linda it is very wise post- love it
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Linda. No snow here in Scotland, been so mild lately! Love the cats and totally agree with Richard Louv, nature is my sanctuary :-D
ReplyDeleteCoucou,bonjour 💞💞💞
ReplyDeleteTemps gris aujourd'hui
Je survole ton joli blog
Pour te souhaiter
Un agréable après-midi
💗💗💗Bisous d'amitié Rita
You're talking to me before I've had my coffee. You like living dangerously? Absolutely brilliant picture and text. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis truly touched my heart. I love how you always share meaningful and uplifting content....
ReplyDeleteYour snow photos are lovely, but I'm glad the white stuff didn't fall in my area!
ReplyDeleteDěkuji za citáty, které nutí k přemýšlení a v mnohých je pravdy tolik, jako ve víně. 🙇 Na zimní fotky se ráda podívám, ale v reálu ji moc ráda nemám.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't stop laughing with the skunk and dog prank, and I loved how Fluffy saved his elderly owner's life. Wow! Thanks, Linda, for always making my day. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI must say that I didn't read all of your suggestion today. Why?

ReplyDeleteI love the photos with the snow, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a beautiful evening, my dear friend.
Linda como sempre suas escolhas de citações são magníficas, passando pra desejar uma feliz quinta-feira bjs.
ReplyDeleteAhoj Lindo, tolik trefných a pravdivých citátů mě hodně oslovilo. A také Tvé zasněžené fotografie. Já rovněž miluji sníh, u nás v České republice je ho rok od roku méně a bývá čím dál vzácnější. Už si ani nepamatuji, kdy jsme měli naposledy sníh na vánoce. Snad se nějakého sněhu letos dočkáme, zasněžená krajina je opravdu kouzelná, jako na Tvých fotkách. Srdečně zdravím z Ostravy! Katka
ReplyDeleteA great ,beautiful and heartwarming post dear Linda 🥰
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your wise words,they are needed to all of us no doubt so we can stay in light 🤗
What a wonderful variety of amazing videos 👍♥️
The cat video is really something awesome and lovely 🥹
A great reminder that people hurt us because “they are them.” So true!
ReplyDeleteLos paisajes nevados tienen un encanto especial, aunque si tienes que desplazarte es un peligro.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Hello Dear Friend,
ReplyDeleteOn a positive note, I haven't seen any mosquitoes in months.
Ha Ha Ha... I am still laughing... we are having a warm up and those crazy mosquitoes are out and about. I do not know how they do it, it was 23 this morning, but we are in the 50's now and they are buzzing around. Ha!
Those are really nice ones and we have many wise kitties here!
ReplyDeleteI slowly scrolled down through the post till I reached this point - It was like peacefully strolling on the lawn, while getting soaked in a steady drizzle of positivity.
ReplyDeleteMy today's pick - hurting you not because you are you but because they are them.
That seems a very heavy fall of snow for so early in winter. It seems so sad to me that after so many months of cold, that the Canadian summer can be spoilt by the swarms of mosquitos.
ReplyDeleteThe gag, nice, Linda, once more!
ReplyDelete'Your' winter wonderland -> beautiful!
Cold or cough, tasty as well!
Lie(f)s.
That's a lot of snow! Nice! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat story about the kitten and his cell phone. I took a recent fall and couldn't get up...now I have a smart watch I can use to text or call and have a hook down low where I can hang the watch while I shower--just in case. Makes me feel a lot safer. :)
Your photos of the snow are wonderful ❄️❄️❄️
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful blog you have here. I always see things that encourage me, teach me endurance, patience, and help me to laugh. Love the snow pictures.
ReplyDeleteMais um ótimo post!
ReplyDeleteNova tirinha publicada. 😺

Hello Linda
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy seeing your snow photographs.
Here in the UK we have a weather warning for heavy rain as Storm Claudia approaches!
I'm not planning on going out anywhere tomorrow (Friday). I will stay indoors in the dry and spend time reading a good book :)
All the best Jan
I love how each quote blends mindfulness, courage, and everyday wisdom into something comforting and uplifting. Those photos add a personal, tender touch, making the reflections feel even more grounded and real.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda Love your quotes I had to laugh about the mosquito one and I love this one "If you feel hurt by people, you must keep in mind that they are not hurting you because you are you. They are doing it because they are them." One still a work in progress. I like your photos as well So you live in the French part of Canada?
ReplyDeleteI love all the cat photos/quotes. I am becoming more and more a cat person as I watch these two that I have inherited from my neighbor. They are really becoming a part of my mind and heart, and I think that's a good thing. I love all your pictures/quotes. I always feel relaxed and peaceful after visiting here.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel hurt by people, you must keep in mind that they are not hurting you because you are you. They are doing it because they are them.
ReplyDeleteHow true this is.
My goodness you sure got lots of snow. Hope you managed okay and were not one of the households that was without power.
God bless.
These are all wonderful! I can't even imagine so much snow. Stay warm up there!
ReplyDeleteMy tomcat passed away last week. I still can't get over it. Huhuhu... You can check out my blog for details. Kindly translate it into English if you want to read the story. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSending you a big hug on this wonderful day, my dear friend Linda! 🌷🌿🌺🌸🌷🌿🌺🌸🌷🌿🌺🌸
ReplyDeleteYour snow pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote by Ann Silvers.
No snow here in the valley.
ReplyDeleteI hope, I fit, dear friend Linda. With my surname translated "Emperor" it is tempting to just call it a throne 😉
ReplyDeleteCourage... next week again! Oh, clutter...
Henry Ford - thank you, Linda, THAT will help me - I´ll print it and put it at my PC!
I think cold weather will never be magical to me ;-) But yes to the mossies not being here!
Oh, and do I learn atm!
Thank you for refreshing my French!
My friend fK lived in France for two years and hers is hence much better than mine - I "lived" there two weeks at age 14 - and she challenges me at times... so... thank you, it comes back!
Oh, that snow!
I wanted a cat at age 4 - I got a German shepherd dog... must I say more? 😉
To Fluffy!!! See why I wanted a cat?
Acerola is what helps when you feel you get a flu! All natural, too! Thank you for yours - so easy and cheaper and.. well, healthy!
Much love and very WARM hugs to you 🥰
Your snow photos are so beautiful! I love snow too!
ReplyDeleteYou've chosen them so well again! The photos with the sayings from the veterinary clinic are great.
Thank you, and I wish you a lovely weekend!
Hugs, Elke
Interesting photos and captions!
ReplyDeleteYou got the same snow we did.
ReplyDeleteI like snow, thank you from your visit .❤️
ReplyDeleteWe also do that cold and flu tea... it's works wonders!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the only thing positive about winter is no mosquitos.
I like the quote about depression being the loss of hope... I truly agree!
Have a great weekend!
Snow! We still waiting :)
ReplyDeleteMany wise words here--thank you! And I love looking at the beautiful snow!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing have a nice day
ReplyDeleteWe got dumped on with snow too and I loooooove it. Was sooooo pretty and with our Christmas trees up for a bit now, just made it all even prettier. Love that you showed us you winter photos!
ReplyDeleteOh Linda - snow - so pretty but so early or so it seems. We have had a few flakes with some icy bridges last week...back into the 50's now. You had me smiling at the cat with the warning about not having had coffee. The pan flute with Hallelujah was beautiful by Raimy Salazar. As always I leave your blog with my spirit uplifted and good things for my day. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteQuerida Linda,
ReplyDeleteQue belas reflexões na sua postagem, também adorei as fotos da neve e o vídeo muito engraçado da pegadinha! Precisamos sorrir mais e ter momentos de paz e alegria.
Um beijo!
Always good for some encouragement! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI heartily thank you for this post of yours, Linda dear, to visit you here always make my day a bit brighter, thank you for being such a beautiful person, gifted with sense of humour, a sweet heart and a sensitive soul.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day and weekend ahead

Oi Linda! Que maravilha ver a neve, por aqui isso não acontece e eu me lembro da primeira vez que vi neve numa viagem: foi mágico! Gostei também das fotos na parede da clínica veterinária (muito cute) e das mensagens. Enfim gostei de tudo! Bom final de semana! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
ReplyDeleteBonsoir
ReplyDeleteBonne soirée pour ce vendredi
Bon début de week-end
ici et bien un temps d'automne chez nous
Mais pas de pluie
Bisous de Rita
Querida Linda!
ReplyDeleteQue post maravilhoso!
Adorei tudo: o texto, as fotos e o blog que eu ainda não conhecia. Com certeza voltarei muito mais vezes por aqui.
Bjssss, Marli
I love the cats.
ReplyDeleteThank you for such uplifting posts. Hugs, my dear.
ReplyDeleteI love them all.........especially the cats!
ReplyDeleteSo many things on your posts speak to me, Linda! It's uncanny. The skunk gag was hilarious! The cat rescue story was amazing and "Hallelujah" was beautiful. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs and love!
ReplyDeleteWow you did get a good amount of snow, it does look pretty but I can wait until we get snow, I am still in the mood to enjoy Autumn, I like to wait at least until December :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that nature does calm me, but so does my craft time, even though my room is a bit of a mess and cluttered right now.
Dear Linda, first of all, thank you for visiting my blog and for leaving a comment. I really like your pictures of snow. We haven’t had any this year. A snowy Christmas is always just a hope for us.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your further pictures of snow.
I wish you all the best from Hungary. Éva
The snowy photos truly capture the magic of winter and make the season feel cozy and inviting. I enjoyed the mix of uplifting quotes and lighthearted touches, especially the cat memes that add warmth and humor. This post feels like a gentle pause from the busyness of life.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking still about the assignment of a mountain and how it allows us to show it can be moved. I'm sharing your post with a friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda for sharing all those thoughtful quotes this week but also for making me smile. 😊
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your snowy photos. You seem to have had quite a lot of it. We have just had a lot of rain over the last day or two but it is clearing now.
That version of Hallelujah is hauntingly beautiful. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!
O teu Sítio, Linda, é de Meditação e Vida. Continua a inspirar os meus pensamentos mais profundos.
ReplyDeleteBem hajas.
Beijo,
SOL da Esteva
The pan flute is such a soothing sound and one of my favourite songs too - thank you.
ReplyDeleteYes... Don't forget to relax!
ReplyDelete"Hope is the bridge between today and tomorrow." .... so, never destroyed bridge.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend
Great thoughts, very right! Beautiful photos! Wonderful blog! Thank you for everything!💙💙💙🌞🌞🌞
ReplyDeleteThe clutter quote resonates so much with me. In a few years I hope to be living in a tiny cottage with nothing but a comfy sofa, some house plants and a couple of cats :)
ReplyDeleteI liked the video of the cat saving its owner ! I should train my Rosie to bring me my mobile, nice quotes too ! and you have snow already, we have 14°C !
ReplyDeleteTu sistema nervioso se relaja.... Este me ha encantado.
ReplyDeleteFeliz finde y un abrazo.
What gorgeous photos and lovely quotes! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos that you took on your walk! Thanks for sharing them with us, and for bringing some cheer to my day!
ReplyDeleteSuch a refreshing collection of thoughts, wisdom, and cozy cat vibes, Linda! 😺✨
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always like a warm cup of tea for the soul — comforting, thoughtful, and just so human. I especially loved that quote about stress settling like muddy water… so true, and beautifully expressed.
Thank you for taking the time to curate all this for us. It’s a little gem each time I visit.
Wishing you a peaceful day filled with light and gentle inspiration.
Dear linda. warm greeting again from kuala lumpur. we don't have snow but the rainy season has started in few parts of my country..at my place, the weather is sometime cloudy, gloomy and drizzling...anyway, for today i choose this quote: "A holiday is an opportunity to journey within. It is also a chance to chill, to relax. It is when I switch on my rest mode." my lil family and me will be having a short holiday next weekend (still within malaysia) but we'll travel by air (on board of flight) for 2 and 1/2 hrs flight to reach the destination. take care linda. hoping to see more snow photos from montreal!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and soothing post. Your words about muddy water clearing on its own truly resonate with me. And the winter photos of Montreal are wonderfully atmospheric. Thank you for this moment of calm.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Cracow, Poland🙂
Bom dia, Linda
ReplyDeleteA citação sobre o perdão é linda, perdoar liberta o coração. Você tira ótimas fotos com o seu celular, a neve é espetacular. Ri muito com o vídeo do cachorro e o gambá, os outros vídeos não consegui entender porque não traduz para o português, desejo um ótimo domingo, bjs querida.
I love the John Steinbeck quote. I'm a summer girl, I hate winter, so I should definitely remember this.
ReplyDeleteTq for compiling all quotes.
ReplyDeleteP.S: Tq for visiting my blog.
These are beautiful quotes, Linda.
ReplyDeleteYou've also taken some really lovely photos.
Greetings Irma
Yes, I'd be as grumpy as that cat...if you're talking to me before I've had my coffee...lol! Thanks for the lovely photos of the snow, so pristine & white...and thanks for the words of inspiration too.
ReplyDeleteBom domingo e bom início de semana, minha querida amiga Linda. Obrigado pelo comentário sobre o Pantanal.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, thanks for the lovely thoughts. sending warm hugs Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteMe encanto pasarme por aquí y leer todas tus citas. Un beso
ReplyDeleteIt's always a pleasure to visit your blog and read your recommendations.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
Hugs.
You've certainly found a lot of great memes. Loved the look on the cats face talking about before coffee, lol. And no mosquitos. Though I'm not a fan of winter at all and have already started my count down til spring.
ReplyDeleteBonsoir 🌙🌙🌙
ReplyDeleteJe passe sur ton blog
En ce dimanche
Pour venir te souhaiter
Une belle soirée et nuit
Bisous doux Rita 🍀🍀🍀
Das sind wieder viele schöne Sprüche. Am Besten gefällt mir das Bild mit der Brücke und dem Spruch "Hoffnung ist die Brücke zwischen heute und morgen."
ReplyDeleteWhat good is summer warmth if there is no winter cold to give it sweetness? Well said — for a month now I’ve been hearing people complain about autumn, November, and so on. Honestly, I don’t quite understand it; it’s as if we wanted to be dancing or doing sports all the time. One has to rest eventually. You took beautiful photos — the snow-covered Christmas trees are lovely, and those pictures at the vet’s office are moving. Dear Linda, I’m sending you lots of warm greetings!
ReplyDeleteTodos me han gustado, son muy buenos. Tus fotos de la nieve son preciosas. Besos.
ReplyDeleteLoved the cat story!
