Yesterday was 02/02/22 – Groundhog Day. I went outside, glanced at my shadow – which scared the crap out of me because I looked like I had gained 10 kilos – and then ran back inside.
Actually, I ran back inside because it was -39C (-38F). We are definitely going to have six more weeks of winter because the smart groundhogs are all still asleep.
Stay warm. 🙂
Happy Tuesday. 🙂
An arrow-straight road into a beautiful cloud sunset.
My snowdrift watch has been growing .
It’s a good thing this snow doesn’t have a mind of its own, otherwise I would be buried. 😉
Do you see the vertical sunray?
Arrowleaf balsamroot flowers – otherwise known as the Okanagan Sunflower – are common wildflowers in the Okanagan Valley and a sure fire indication that spring has arrived.
Their pretty yellow brightness can be found starting in late March, but they don’t last long. All parts of this plant can be eaten, and the seeds can be pressed for oil. The leaves and seeds of these members of the sunflower/aster family have a mild citrus flavour.
I’m looking forward to seeing them again …
Happy Friday, everyone. 🙂
We started the morning with a thick blizzard, but by the time the afternoon rolled around, we had this. Beautiful!
The Dettah ice road from Yellowknife and across a portion of Great Slave Lake is back!
Kudos to those who can guess the literary reference in the title. 🙂
After all my snowy posts, it’s time to remember what is awaiting us … soon.
What it looks like here.
Happy week, everyone. 🙂
