High winds today - the blowing snow polished the hard snow so shiny.

 Molly never tires of this game - down a snowbank today.

 More digging for Molly this morning - digging for her ball that she pushed in the snow.

The chickens all survived the -40ºC temperatures here while we were away.

 

 Big helper clearing snow.

 Lots of blowing snow for the last day of 10 hours of driving - we had a great holiday and now I am glad to be home.

Sunday - Animal crossing over the highway in the Rockies.  

 On the road again. 

 

Today we visited Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre. 

 Cold this morning - ice on the fountain. 

 The view from today’s walk - we are staying on the other side of the lake. 

 Walking the Irrigation Canal Trail in Osoyoos, BC. 

 Views of orchards and vineyards on our walk. 

 So beautiful!

 Wood Ducks by the lake. 

 Driving through wine country.

Statue outside the Osoyoos visitor centre.

 

 Today we went for a walk out on a spit in the lake. 

 Nice to walk where there is no snow. 

 Lake view.

 Osoyoos British Columbia. 

 January 9th - Sicamous, BC.

On the road in Alberta (coming from the prairies it’s always exciting to see the Rockies).

 

 On the road in Saskatchewan (rolling hills).

 A quilting day out today - the view from one of the windows.

My son's recent crop of hydroponic tomatoes from the basement (a few years ago my son was buying some supplies at the local hydroponic store, an employee was helping him, after a few questions and help with finding the supplies my son needed, the employee said "Oh, you really are growing tomatoes." - yes he is!).

 A day in Winnipeg.

 Big fluffy snowflakes at the start of a new year. I guess I am doing another year!
