Pull up a Seat in the Snow
…thanks to XingfulMama for hosing the Pull up a Seat Photo Challenge https://xingfumama.blog/2025/01/17/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2025-week-3/
Last Day at the Cottage
…after 6 wonderful days with Andrea and Olive
This is the first time in many years that I’ve experienced this much snow. Our cottage on Christian Island ( a mere 10 minutes from here to the ferry dock) is not winterized and the road up the north shore is not ploughed regularly, if at all.
While Andrea logs onto work today, I’ll be doing laundry and packing to go home. Once that is done I may do some more art or continue reading my book, Doppelgänger. Yesterday I prepped a couple of pages in my art journal and I might continue with one or both pages if I’m inspired.
Hopefully we’ll find some time after lunch to go for another walk. It’s considerably warmer today and it has finally stopped snowing.

A Beach Walk in January
…in the dead of winter
It was definitely colder than yesterday, partly due to the winds coming off the bay. I was grateful for the use of Andrea’s hand warmers that slipped into my gloves.

In Like a Lamb…
…out like a lion?
They say that if March begins with beautiful, sunny, and mild weather it will surely go out like a lion. In this climate that usually means cold, wintery weather. Hard to imagine this happening because our winter has been more like a west coast winter with mild temperatures and rain. It would be a cruel gesture on Mother Nature’s part to end the month with a blast of winter.
Water, Water Everywhere….February 27, 2024
…thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere…https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2024/02/26/straiton-pond-2-for-water-water-everywhere-210/
I never get tired of the waterfront that I live close to (literally 100m from my house). It changes with the season, the wind, time of day and the weather. Earlier this week the water was dead calm. Very unusual for this time of year but the entire winter this year has been unusual. Little to no snow, mild temperatures, rain and then sudden drops in temperature that last for one to three days.
