this marsh will eventually totally freeze over and after the snowmobiles make tracks, the dogs and i can walk for miles.

Change of Scenery

I decided to dress my blog up for winter...i know the calendar still says fall, but living in a northern climate it feels more like winter. The trees are bare, snow is on the ground and the temperatures hover around 0C (-6C right now). I enjoy this time of year, the quietness of a snowfall, walking my dogs through the woods has a soul soothing quality to it, and

I love the sound of snow beneath my boots...

( yes i clash, but I'm warm and comfortable , and i can be seen from a satellite)

 Even the dogs have a contentedness and happiness about them romping through the snow.

We go for very long walks, even if the temperature dip very low. The only time we stay close to home or home all together is if the wind chill is to bitter.

People think I'm crazy that i love this time of year and when everyone complains about the cold and snow  i just smile .


ps. pictures are from last year, snow is not that deep yet .

Remembrance Day

I will be going to the remembrance day parade and my husband and some of his friends will go the the cemetery  to have a toast with my Son. Sometimes a friend of ours will also play the pipe for him.

Normally i would go to the legion afterwards but our legion burned down this year. I don't know yet if i will go on Base , where the get together will be this year.

It is a somber Day for me...i'm a pacifist and peacenik at heart and became more so as i got older. Yet i'm surrounded by everything Military...my best friends and family are military or have something to do with the military.

 People i love and care for .
 I seen what going to War has done to some of them emotionally and physicality .

I'm conflicted by a lot of it and still have a hard time sorting it all out in my mind and heart.

But today is a day of remembrance ,and remember is all i want to do.

Introspection will have to wait for another day

Lest We Forge

YAYYY

I have my mittens

When they first came out for the Olymics i couldn't find a pair anywhere.

I needed them DESPERATLY to go with my red boots, red coat and my red with white maple leaves Chullo Hat

So now you will see red when you see me coming .

It doesn't take much to make me happy
