This was my finding while in the garden so sad it has been such a crazy winter up and down. We are for sure going to loose some plants...down right depressing.

Today it was up to eleven above at lunch time beautiful; weather if you are not trying to winter lavender or hold onto an ice rink. Today my dad did a bit of work on the yard as it is so icy we can not walk are vehicles were sliding.

Now the animals are loving it, it is nice and mild for them it makes the ducks much louder and perfect weather for the chicks transition out of my house - smelly little things!

 

Oh the noise

I have been looking at other peoples blogs some really write some fun, awesome write ups. They must lead a little more exciting life than me. So maybe I SHOULD add some fun may more iPhone pictures. I watched a lovely add on TV tonight  it was an Apple add where a young teenage boy looks bored with the holidays and visiting with family when really he is making a movie to play for hi family at Christmas~ I watched over and over and then I went and got Miss Hyacinth to come watch it. I was telling her we should learn to use our iPhone since we have them and lovely contracts...

This is an iPhone picture

This is also an iPhone picture

Really one can have so much fun and creativity with these cameras on phones.

Today was such a good day I had so many jobs crossed off my list.

 I was working on a folder for Petit Creek Lavender

come on over and visit us

Well it is seriously late now so off to bed

Good Morning a chilly -8 here this morning and still as dark as night outside.

The dogs have been barking so much my son's put up the trail camera and we have a good bunch of coyotes hanging around, plus cougar tracks.

 In the back part of the camera we see eyes and there is something there hard to see just out of the flash.

One son thinks it is a bear and my dad thinks it is a cougar.

 Pretty scary when you think about it.

 I used to walk all the time up there but not any more the last time my son when up the coyotes were trying to call him out the edge of the property.

 Another time when he was up on the back of the property he was being stocked by a coyote one he could handle but we have a pack of four for sure and up to five.

 

Enjoy your day

 

This was the beginning of our holiday we had a brief heavy snow fall all came within a couple of hours. It was great for pictures. Fun to play in.

Then

we had rain, warm weather but through it all we saved the rink.

Now tonight at six pm it is already minus seven.

This picture show the rain on the rink.

This weekend our goalie is in a hockey tournament. I am lucky to escape it as my husband and other kids get to go. So far he has won three and lost one not too bad.

Hard to believe the holidays are over and we are already into the start of the New year time just keeps marching on not waiting for anyone.

 

 

Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year

May 2014 be incredible for all of us

Deep Breath...

A busy week here.
Many new projects have been done a Peace Pole Project, many new lavender products for the lavender house, putting things away for winter and just general living.
The stress in this house is oozing out the sides it can quit any time it likes. Stress totally wears a  person out.
We had our first snow not too much just a reminder it is coming and coming soon. If I did not have to leave home or if I knew my family did not have to drive in it I would enjoy it all winter long...
I have had our grandson three days last week and two this week. We have had a lot of fun.

 

Our telephone number has been taken by scammers and they are using it to call out and use a recorded message about giving away points. It makes me so angry how can people get away with it. They tell me they can not stop it but rest assured if it was me doing it someone would be knocking at my door.
I have noticed the birds are moving in a sign it is getting colder. I have also noticed the Canadian Geese flying I love to see them in the sky. It never fails to make me smile when I can hear them and then I have to stop and hunt the sky to see them.
