The symbol above is for a new meme that Katney started recently . I reckon they don't have a garage? Maybe it is cheaper to use a tent than to build a garage? Whatever the reason, it is definitely odd to me!
These tent garages are very common in Quebec and are becoming more so in Ontario. They are inexpensive, protect your car and you don't need a building permit.
I thought they were odd few years ago...but I've see quite a few now. ;-)
JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration.
Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.
Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!
Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.
pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.
I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.
Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.
When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!
Found a few of them!
"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."
"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."
"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."
"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "
"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "
There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!
My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House.
Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.

Good Odd shot. Cheap and in any place him we want in the space that we allocate! Very good the Odd subject
Good shot... shows just what a carport is for. Protecting your car from the weather :-)
Or taking to family outings... or the best fort on the block :-D
I miss my old covered carport, but not for the car anymore... other things, as I have a garage now.
Very great odd post. Funny garage :-)
That is pretty odd, Paulie!
Very odd - although it would be a great cubby house for the kids while the car is out :)
Odd indeed .. maybe they need a red carpet leading up to it too .. I bet its a brand new car!
Odd for sure. Guess they really love their car and want to protect it.
It will be really odd the day you put wheels on the tent and use it as a camping wagon
Seems to match the color scheme just fine. Maybe they thought no one would notice. No, probably not. Great shot!

I wonder if it would atand up under some of our rains.....very heavy....
Yup we have one here too but so windy it ripped the top to pieces. But good if you have no garage. We store junk in ours
Hahaha...that's great!! Makes that car look like it's a Maharajah, with it's little curtains and all!
Serves a purpose I guess but can't see the pick up looking at home in one! LOL!
Fun shot! I eXpect this "odd" idea will become a new trend...
Hm... with the hail storms we get in Kansas, I don't think this would work here! Very Odd Shot!
Wonder is it called garb-age or gar-age ... anyhow it doesn't seem to have any age on its neck .. really lovely odd pic :-D
Great capture ... take the tent and give it to some homeless people instead!!!
(( hug ))
That is different but maybe works for keeping frost and snow off the windshield.
Mama Bear
I agree. Very odd shot. Do they pull the curtains?
I've seen a few of those.
You should see some of the garages we saw in Russia, though. Verrrrrry interesting.
