Winter is coming! The ice is starting on the lake, and we have had a couple of snowstorms already. I like the way the lake looks when there is water and ice at the same time. It has a different look than the spring time when the ice is breaking up.
A week ago, our lake looked like this. We had just had an April snowstorm, and the ice was starting to melt at the edge of the lake. Now the lake looks like this. The ice has become very slushy, and is at one end of the lake. My husband decided to take his old […]

Snow, snow, and more snow! We are certainly getting lots of it. I still think it’s beautiful.

I really enjoyed visiting Banff this summer. We were able to go up in the Banff gondola, and the chairlift at Mount Norquay. Each of these places give great opportunities to see the mountains around Banff. I especially enjoyed watching the lighting change on the mountains because of the cloud cover.
When our daughter and I were in Banff this summer, we were able to see some mountain sheep. To us, they looked like goats, but they are known as sheep. The males have long curved horns, but we didn’t see any of these. The ones we saw were females and young, as far as I […]
