It’s still not Winter yet…Ha!

Morning light and ice…December 1st
December 12th…we’re up to 12″ of snow now!

Well, we went from a bit of snow, to Holy Jeezus mother of Murphy what is this? -1° to -22.9° Celsius! Like a rollercoaster of weather!

We had open water, beautiful moonrises and swans flying by, now the abominable snowman is out there somewhere!

Mother Nature is having a chuckle, it was dry she says, had to make up for that lack of rain! But snow? really? I should bite my tongue as we may be in the rain later this week. Halfway through the month and I feel like we are halfway through Winter…OK, I’m dreaming, sigh, just dreaming!

A balmy -13°C this morning…with sun! Warming up now! Deer prints on the ice and I love that weird concentric hole out in front with circles at different spacings spreading out, maybe an otter will pop up! Ice is starting to sink in places, weight of the snow I’m sure and not much ice!

The sun has come out, a few times…0_0…

We had a spectacular Sunrise the morning of the 9th! When I see colour like this when I wake up I’m pretty quick to jump out of bed, I started moving a bit more slowly when I saw the outside temperature…-20.9°…F***it! No socks, boots, one jacket, the colour fades so quickly you can’t dawdle finding socks! I sat down on the edge of the dock by the rocks, not an angle I usually use but trying to get that cotton candy sky…I warmed up hoofing it back up the steps at record speed;)

It has been so sparkly! That shiny crisp snow, dry and fluffy, thankfully easier to shovel! I’ve tried to keep the steps clear down to the canoe, in case we had another sunrise like this, and a path around the house for the Mewberries!

..and it’s been those big flakes, huge fluffy flakes. I should have been out trying to photograph them…my Jackson Pollock Ice formations were enough! We headed down to the barn one Sunday in the light fluffy stuff…thinking, not much is forecast…sigh…

We didn’t dawdle but I did get Dusty all snow covered along with the donkeys. I was having a hard time focusing the flakes were so big, autofocus wasn’t working, my hands were so cold, they weren’t working either…Winter:)

“Whaddya mean there’s NO TREATS! REALLY??? Nothing? Oh, you were just kidding me, Ha!”
The many faces of Dusty:)

Alice felt the same….

..and it’s NOT Winter yet! Sigh…Anyway, that’s it for now. I’ll catch up with snow covered birds and cats and aliens…;) Ha! Yes, it’s an Alien, who thought that he was Canadian, but due to his skimpy clothing, probably Bahamian?” Who knew so much rhymed with alien;) Stay tuned!

When one alien meets another….😉
