Love those oats!

I set out some oats to decorate the deck and the birds just love them.

Winter

Winter's here. Yesterday was our first big snowfall. The downside is that Diane and Gordie and Sandi, Jon and Magan were all going to come for lunch, but the roads were bad so they didn't come. We were all disappointed.

The upside is that it looks pretty and it brought the birds out. This is my "bird corner" and they seem to be enjoying it. There have been 7 or 8 using the feeder at once. Now I just need to attract the chickadees. I've put out sunflowers and suet so we'll see what happens.

Home cooking

Hey, we're heavy into the home cookin'. We bought a yogurt maker in October and went through the yogurt so fast we wanted to make double batches. I went online and discovered you can make it in a variety of ways, so now we're also making it in our electric frying pan. Turns out great!
Joanna wanted to make cabbage rolls, which I hadn't made for about 20 years, but we made them and they turned out good. I've got some in the freezer for whoever shows up at the door first!

What is it?

We were driving home late last night when we saw these strange things in the sky. A wierd light was coming from them and they moved incredibly fast in the night sky. The first one approached us so quickly I was terrified. There were all kinds of colored panels in the centre and a kind of mist was rising from it.

Well, the mist is the clue. It's actually a decorative mister sitting on our fireplace. I did a little editing and a little lying...

Autumn Gold

Looking at our subdivision from the field across the road.

A maze of paths has been cut into the field which you can't see from the road.

We didn't notice them until this week, and we've really enjoyed walking on the paths.

Installation Service

We got snow last night. Thought I'd counteract that with a nice summer picture!

We had the installation service for our new Associate Pastor - a first for our church.

Our two pastors - Trevor and Tyler. We appreciate them both!
