My Everything Corner

In the Fall, thoughts of winter are depressing.  But with the temperatures barely below zero, virtually no wind and hoar frost that just won't quit, it's impossible to feel anything other than awe.  

Oh my goodness, was my last post really about Halloween???  Time has flown by so quickly, and now that my daughter's birthday has passed, it is time to start thinking about the next event, Christmas of course!  We have a very relaxed holiday planned, as we have every year and hopefully everything goes as planned, as it usually does.  My little girl's 12th birthday was the exception this year.  The poor thing was so sick on her special day, I had to take her to a walk in clinic for a Dr. to take a look.   A bad throat infection has settled in and for the first time that I can remember she has to go on a round of antibiotics.  After only 4 out of 30 pills down, she is showing signs of renewed health! In the meantime, I've been wandering around with my camera and taking advantage of any photo opportunity that crosses my path.  We've had some incredible sun rises and sets, and one good dose of hoar frost.  My sweet, tiny kitten is 5 months old...

I have been enjoying travelling through blogland and seeing everything people are doing in their homes to celebrate the fall and Halloween season.  And I thought it was high time I shared what I've been up to.  I can't say I'm finished, and if I do anything else that's exciting, I will do another post. Minus the spiders, I've had that whole get-up on my door for a long time. A spooky old tree for a spooky old crow. There may be a few Harry Potter fans in the house... This duo is sitting in what is meant to be a Christmas decoration, but seeing as how we usually have snow here by October 31st, I thought, "Why not?". I like doing things other than jack o' lantern faces on my pumpkins.  Although, there are also a lot of faces scattered around. I found that handsome black cat sculpture at flea market for $3!!! When I put this rat on the counter, the lady at the till jumped away backwards.  Then she giggled at herself,...

With many of my posts, I find myself looking for a picture to go with my words.  Recently, I've had a difficult time coming up with words to go with my pictures.  The first two photos are from my trip last week to Cold Lake, AB.  The last 3 are from a walk around my in-law's farmyard, while I was waiting for turkey dinner.  It was a beautiful day that led up to a delicious meal, and we wrapped it up with an evening on the couch.  I hope everyone had as wonderful a Thanksgiving as I did.  To all my American friends, I hope you have wonderful plans to look forward to!     I loved how the sky started to turn a bright blue all of a sudden, and its contrast with the orange of the still low sun.     I really like how the path of the rocks seem to be following the clouds.  Or should I reverse that?     Who doesn't enjoy a windmill?  I don't see many of them being used anymore, and this one is no...

I was recently given some time to visit what has, so far, been my favourite place to live.  Besides the good company of the welcoming friends we left behind, Cold Lake always offers beautiful scenery for photography.  I took hundreds of photos, and I'm sure I will revisit them and add more, but here are the three that kept catching my eye as I was scrolling through.
