It’s that time again—time for snow travel to celebrate birthdays and (unexpectedly) to endure sick days. We haven’t caught the bug yet but we’ve had plenty of opportunity.
Got Winter?
If you haven’t any winter of your own yet, please enjoy our latest Alberta bits—
(Animal Crossing)
……and here are the Alberta ‘babies’….
They just keep having birthdays to share…

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward. Ps.127:3
I haven’t been on a pair of skis in 30 years! And on that first (and only) other occasion I fell and broke my ski pole just minutes out of the rental shack. I remember little else about the event, other than being terrified of the hills! So it was with some trepidation that I rented a pair of skis yesterday and hit the trails with Jim…
After two hours we quit for lunch, but we’re hooked… We were back to watch the evening fall and the night course light up…
When in snow country, do what the snow country people do! And now we’re in no rush for spring to come. We have to learn to ski first!
Defying forecasts of rain, a hush of snow was falling as we woke this morning……
Snow is not only fresh, white and slippery, it is beautiful!

With the coming of the advent season our first snow has fallen.
Even an inch of snow makes the world a brighter place…
…transfiguring the common fern and salal… and making neighborhood houses look somehow more cozy.
.
It’s time once again to pull out Christmas things and think of gifts and greetings to be sent…
.
Meanwhile our willow marks the season with her fast falling leaves
And the backyard is all frosted wonder…
It’s the light shining through that makes it all so glorious isn’t it?
“…the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light,
and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death,
on them a light has dawned.” (Mt.4:16)
