Jenny Lind Wood Bed Frame

Look what arrived.....from Wayfair...nearly one week early!  The new Jenny Lind bed frame for the guest bedroom!  I was excited when tracking revealed it was to be delivered the end of last week (as opposed to earlier estimated arrival of January 20, 2022).

Since it was late in the afternoon....we stood the box in the hallway...to tackle setting it up the next day!  The box was a bit battered....but everything inside was well packed and nothing broken....

As awesome as this bed is...it did not come without it's challenges putting it together.  Mr. Seventies is a pro as putting anything together...and this bed frame caused a certain amount of frustration.  Partly due to the wrong size wrench accompanying the bed...intended for use to put it together.  A very specific width of wrench is required...and the one sent...was too small.  And the wrench Mr. Seventies had in his tool box was too thick.  But, having the patience of a saint...he prevailed...and after about four hours....the bed was together!

And I'm so in love with it!  I am going to remove & replace the sign over the bed...but in the meantime....

I couldn't be happier with the quality of the frame...and it arrived in perfect condition....always a chance something could be damaged in shipping.  Don't let the rays of light fool you...it is not sun but lighting...

And all this done...while we had, yet another raging snowstorm going on outside!  Two huge storms within a week of each other.  The Island basically shut down for about 24 hours....the bridge to PEI was closed to all traffic (and that only happens when winds are high & visibility is poor)....and all road plows were pulled off from Friday night until Sunday.  

Some areas lost power....we were prepared but fortunate ours remained on.  And as luck would have it....we had severe windchills on Sunday...making it difficult for anyone needing to shovel.  Mr. Seventies had the walks to shovel...and waited until it warmed up a bit in the afternoon.   I'll share a few photos I took of the 40+ cm this latest storm dumped on us...

After the front walk was cleared out....

The steps from the pool deck to the back yard...completely buried....

After Mr. Seventies cleared the steps and walkway....

Due to the high winds of 100 km/hr or more...there was a great deal of drifting...this is our side lawn....I'm standing in the driveway....

And sidewalks are currently non-existent...it will take days for them to be cleared out...this photo is taken looking up the road from the end our our driveway.  When our snow removal contractor came to blow out the driveway (in a huge tractor with a blower attachment)....it was slow going.  He does an amazing job every winter keeping our drive cleared out...coming around numerous times...blowing snow away after the road plows have gone by & pushed it into the driveway as well.  The sidewalk is buried underneath all the snow!

And this snow in the pool...is what we will be swimming in come warmer weather...so thank you Mother Nature for that...

The holly wreath Mr. Seventies put together in December is still thriving at the back door....we left it up...and it is covered in snow....

They were asking people, once the storm had passed to stay at home and give snow crews time to clear roads and parking lots.  Our neighbour, used his snowblower and blew a path and area for Liesel...she is very thankful to him for doing that.

We have two areas now cleared out for her...she was such a good girl when being taken outside during the storm...she is very scared of the wind...and panics.  She wears a sweater or wrap underneath her harness...but I'm hoping once of these adorable snoods will calm her fear a bit....if her head is a bit covered.   Or she may hate me for life...either way...will give a snood a try....

So, that's the latest installment of Snowmageddon 2022!   Here's hoping we get a bit of a reprieve from Old Man Winter for a few weeks at least!

I have some awesome clothing pieces to share with you...I spent a couple of days doing a major purge and closet clean out...and you know what that means?  More room for more clothes!!

Have an awesome day & thanks so much for sharing a bit of time with me.
