Even though we ended up at some wonderful destinations during our trip to British Columbia, there were a lot of hours spent on the road. Every morning we left our home base in Salmon Arm, and headed to this place or that. Along the way the scenery was incredible and the fellowship with family was priceless. Here are a few pictures that I captured along the way. Enjoy. You can click on the pictures Continue Reading...
It’s Only March
Earlier this morning I went out to clean up the driveway. It was 12°F and I needed to rearrange some of the 15 1/2" inches of fresh snow that fell yesterday. It only took a little more than two hours. I did snowblow for more than 1 mile, and I'll have to do some more work on it later. But the cars are cleared and the driveway is driveable, more or less. This time of the year, the sun is higher in Continue Reading...

The limbs all around us, bending low, to display their burden in beautiful form. Trees bowed to the Creator, silent and still, in reverence to the One that giveth and taketh away. The fresh coat of white, wet snow, with barely a hint of breeze, made for a postcard Continue Reading...

24 Hours in February
24 Hours In February Thursday I was at my Mom and Dad's house and I was struck by the greenery of the yard, specifically because it was so green, on February 4th here in New Hampshire. The scene was quite abnormal for this time of winter here in the Northeast. The temperature at the time was somewhere around 54°F, which was also an anomaly. Then, on Friday we received 6.5" of Continue Reading...
Warm Up by the Fire
After salting and sanding the driveway with buckets and shovel, moving even more snow, and doing some light recycling, I decided to warm up by a fire in the snow. #ilovewinter Continue Reading...
