Foggy evening

Yesterday evening I looked out and was surprised to see the fog rolling in. What was really interesting, was that is was very low, lower than the tops of the trees, making it look like the trees were floating.

It's oh, so quiet

Not much has been happening around here lately. Temperatures have been dropping since my last post, including snow, hail and freezing rain on Saturday. Add to that the crazy high winds we get here... we've just been keeping our fingers crossed that we don't lose any trees! 

We had some family & friends over on Saturday to help celebrate my birthday (or as David put's it "another lap around the sun"). We had a great time despite the weather! After years of my cousin (who's more like a sister) trying to blow out my birthday candles, a tradition that has been going on since my 2nd birthday, I decided that we should give up all pretenses and she should just help (especially seeing as the number of candles on the cake will only get larger, right?).

On the crafting front, not much has been going on. The knitting needles were quiet for a quite a while as I recovered from last year's intense knitting (2 stoles for my wedding - maid of honour & bridesmaid; 1 baby blanket that took FOREVER to finish; 2 baby sweaters and a hat (blogged about it here) and that had me knitting until the wee hours of the morning to finish). Well, with 3 more babies expected later this year, needless to say the knitting has recommenced. No photos yet - those will have to wait until another day ;)

Hopefully, with the warmer weather forecast for the weekend, there will be more happening around here!

More Snow!

We were planning to go out to the store when we looked outside and saw this and thought better of it...

You can barely make out the stables!

We waited until after lunch, when it seemed a little more promising. Can't say the same for our neighbours to the north.

Snow!

It started to snow yesterday during our Halloween party, so this morning I decided to take some pictures before it melts...

Foggy mornings

We've been getting quite a bit of fog in the mornings that, when shot in B&W, definitely set the mood for Halloween!

Heat Wave!

For the past few days, I have been hiding out in our basement... which is a cool 23 deg.C

I felt this was a good plan of action when I saw this...
