Morning Jules! Thanks so much, my husband had to drag me away. I was captivated by all the cool shadows.

Oh no! We haven’t had snow for a few days but are supposed to be getting 10 cm today. Hopefully they’re wrong.

Rohena!! Hope you’re doing well πŸ«‚. It has been a long and cold winter here. It’s -23c this morning and I’m dreaming of green grass and leaves.

Morning Jean! That sky was breathtaking. We haven’t had a lot of blue sky days here this winter. My canning was chicken broth. I keep so many frozen rotisserie chicken carcasses that I was running out of freezer space. I got 8 quarts and 12 pints.

I ran to the weather channel now, phew nothing here. Good luck and I hope you don’t lose power.

A trail sign showing that the parking lot was in fact not around the next corner but 2,535 meters away. Or roughly a mile and a half.

Good morning πŸ‘‹ I went snowshoeing the other day and after almost three hours, when I β€˜knew’ the parking lot had to be just around the next corner, I came across this sign. The level of cursing was epic lol. Have a good one and never give up!!
