Here is a picture of our summer home looking like a winter one:

Our neighbours sent it to us yesterday and it makes me dream about all of the winter memories we need to make in this place.  Snow angels, snow forts, snowmen, pine cone bird feeders, catching snowflakes with your tongue, walking tours of Christmas lights, and shoveling the front walkway and driveway (HEY HOIT'S!  Don't tell me you can reminisce about this family activity without SMILING IMMENSELY!).  Although we won't be home THIS winter, we will be home SOME winter and Nory will grow to appreciate these magical things that make Canadians love the heck out of a season that bombards them with rain, snow, sleet, and COLD. 

I feel so lucky to call this house OURS.  We wish all of you many happy winter memories this season!


XOXO

Stumbling across summer memories.....

I haven't connected my memory card to the computer in AGES. The Nikon has over 500 photos on it and my iPhone has almost 2000 photos......(I know, I know).  But - what better day than a HOLIDAY to go through these memory cards of mine?!  Here are a few photos from a cool, summer day this past August.  A day that my Mom and Nan came to visit us at our new house in Lakefield! 

You should see the green space behind our house!  There's a play structure, a big field, a path along the water.....it's beautiful. 

The colour purple reminds me of my Nan.  She was with us during this walk :)

No fishing!  The marina is for ice cream eating, Tim Horton's drinking and big-boat-viewing ONLY!

I love skies like this one.  SO BLUE!

Tai chi in the park!

My guy & my gal.  I love seeing them bundled up together :)

It was a great day - minus the need to wear fleece!  We walked the town and enjoyed grilled cheese and soup on the back deck.  I can't wait to have more days like this one next summer :)
