The winterized gazebo; the courtyard
February 24th, 2006 by Bill
The best way to winterize your gazebo is to have it in a country where, eventually, it snows. (Well, that’s a kind of winterizing.)
Yes, this week we finally got snow. Still, there’s not a lot of it. Not like we would normally have. And this snow is about three months or so late in arriving.
What you see, by the way, is what I see when I leave my condo and make an immediate left turn. Yes, that’s our little inner court. And this is what it looks like in winter.
It’s actually quite nice. Each year on a Saturday in late August or early September, we have a condo party here. People wheel out their barbecues and we eat, drink beer and/or wine, and generally have a pleasant time. And if you get tired of people for a while? Just go into your own place for a bit, then come out again.
Personally, I think those are perfect party conditions.
I can’t believe that it hasn’t snowed more in Alberta. What’s next, Canada not winning a medal in men’s hockey at the Olympics?
It’s global warming I tell ya. Soon I’ll have ocean front property. And Tokyo will be winning the Stanley Cup!
You think I joke? There’s a women’s hockey team from Japan touring Alberta right now!
Bill honey, I don’t know how to break this to you, but that’s not snow. I’m pretty sure that what we have is snow, and it doesn’t look anything like that. LMAO
Believe me, I know what snow is. I lived in Ottawa for 17 years. Let’s say that what we have out here is “frosting.”
Sounds like a dream. Next year, you should deco the courtyard with white lights.
that is such a cool place to live- not just by the looks of it but because you guys have a party like that. fun! does a little trio play some jazz in the gazebo or do kids re-enact that scene from the sound of the music in there? hee hee.

Just stopping by to say I love, love, LOVE black currant and am so delighted that you do, too.
