Enough snow! It’s time for bright and colourful.




All this and more is coming soon to a spring season near you!
Happy Wednesday.

This is Ernie. He and Ethel live on Strawberry island. This months moon is called a “Cold” moon. (Oak moon sometimes) I’m glad I was able to get …
THE COLD MOON
This beautiful shot of an “eagle moon” is from Wayne at Tofino Photography. Wayne has posted many, many magnificent wildlife photos on his blog, so I hope you stop for a look.
Starship (https://youtu.be/K1b8AhIsSYQ) may have built their city on rock and roll, but this subarctic city was built on snow. Well, not really. It’s just that when you’re deep in it (deep in the hoopla? And if you know this reference you’re a rock star!) and you have to dig your way out the door, it only feels like that.

But then again, if something feels that way, then it probably is that way, and since we just came through a weekend storm with winds that gusted to 100 km (62 mi), dropped 12 cm (4 inches) of snow, and caused an overcast that gave us only about four hours of daylight, how it feels counts for a lot.
But thankfully the storm has passed and sun should be on its way. Happy Monday.
A frozen sunflower head droops forlornly …

… but still contains many of its seeds, providing winter sustenance for birds and squirrels.
Happy Sunday.
Outside, it feels like this.

But inside, it feels like this.

Happy Saturday.
Not very glamorous, but definitely required!

And from the practical to the sublime.

Happy Friday; happy weekend.
This large snowpile was created after our parking lot was ploughed. There was a lot of snow there!

The neighbourhood children will have a lot of fun there on the weekend.
Happy Thursday.

Happy Wednesday.
Here’s our roof edge showing the successive layers of snow, snow melt with icicles and then more snow.

It looks like a small nudge might easily bring down this ice-snow ridge, but it’s actually up there quite solidly.
Inside, my M is watching the Raptors basketball game and making a wonderful dinner. The Raptors won!
Happy Tuesday.
