For someone like me, who is crazy about Love, it saddens me to report that Valentines Day is definitely not a favorite holiday for me.
A day dedicated to love and I just can’t get into it. The cards, the cute pillows, the cinnamon hearts? Nope, not a chance, it’s not for me.

It’s Friday!
Hooray! I am pretty happy because it means one more sleep until a ski day in Fernie!
I’m looking forward to becoming a weekend warrior and driving 8 hrs to ski for 6 hrs.
I am aware that it doesn’t make that much sense but desperate times call for desperate measures.

I may have been getting harassed prodded a little bit by some blog readers about my lack of blogging.
So, here I am, literally.
January is a little slower for me so I like to take advantage and do as much for myself as possible.
In between a bit of work this week I took a ski day into...

If I was writing a letter to the season of ‘Spring’ it would go something like this.

I know you are months and months away and I am okay with that. I really am enjoying winter and
the fresh snow that is gently making it’s way on my lawn is beautiful. In fact I may go...

I am loving the holidays.
Not only was Christmas day insanely beautiful in Brooks, today was a whole other gift of a day.
The fog lifted and left us shimmering with the frost. It was a bright day.
We spent it skating, playing hockey and eating lots of combined leftovers.
A good day.
Here is our tree in the snow...

It’s 1 week until a white snowy Christmas!
I was so proud today when I dropped by the food bank in Brooks with my 45 cans of food.
You, dear blog followers, did that. Thank you.
I called ahead and asked if there was anything in particular they needed more of.
Hot chocolate and Cranberry sauce. Coming right up.

As I have previously mentioned, I am in a total editing cave. It’s insane but the light is close. So close.
When I’m editing I definitely need good music to get me through it. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely enjoy going through images… it can just take awhile.
Geordie just downloaded a new CD for us...

‘Tis the Season!
There is a big winter storm brewing in Southern Alberta today. I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of excited!
I figure if it’s going to be cold, it might as well be white. I’m a big lover of winter; skiing, skating, hot chocolate, christmas lights… the list could go on.
I love this...

This isn’t the original image I was planning on sharing today.
I woke up in a cloud of fog and with beautiful feathery snow on the ground and clinging to trees. I was pretty excited. I love winter.
Cool crisp days like today. Hmmm….
When the sun peaked out and drove the fog away it brought with it...
