We got about a foot and a half of snow yesterday and it is still snowing. Was a good day to stay home and decorate the tree. It is not daylight yet but I will take pictures soon. My husband made it up the ski hill. Roads were terrible but skiing was great! Then he did the snowblowing, round one.

Went out to our local Christmas tree farm and got a tree, before the snow comes. Got it in water and thawing out because it is cold today. Will decorate it tomorrow.

On the radio, while driving, I heard someone joking about favourite “F” words and I thought hmmmm…..

Been having trouble with my hip for a while, so haven’t been out and about to take any pictures. Took a drive today to Prince Rupert (90 miles) for a change of scenery. #SealCove #PrinceRupert Always warmer by the ocean.
Looks like we are in for some snow at home this week.

These are the books I read in November. Arnaldur Indridason is one of my favourite authors. I loved his “Erlender” series the most. Louise Penny is another favourite. Slow Horses are always good and the Molly the Maid series is just for fun. So, for me, some great books this month. 📚⚡️💙

My husband hiked up with friend to the top of #ShamesMountain today. The hill is not open yet, but they hiked way up and skied down. Stopping for a bite to eat. #skiing

At open mic yesterday, I was so pleased to see young Ezra Beaton show up. 17 yrs. old, playing guitar for only 4 yrs and playing Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and his own songs like magic. A guitar magician! And he can sing. We all were “wowed”!

I have not been posting because life here is just grey and wet, continually. Going out to hear more live music this weekend. My husband is hiking, with skins, up #ShamesMountain again today to ski. The snow may get down here soon. Photo from last winter. Not that much snow here yet.

Pouring rain today, absolute downpour rain event. A great day to spend the afternoon at our local open mic. Once again, great music. Now to do a little more mopping in my basement.

A fantastic evening with The Colin James Trio. Man can he play a guitar, and so many guitars! @colinjamesmusic.bsky.social Thank you for that fabulous music.

Here are the books I read in October. I think the Asa Larsson was my favourite, maybe ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I have read all the Lady Detective series. They always make me smile. The other two were okay.

I stay in and hand out candy, but we don’t get many kids. I decorate my yard every year anyway.

My neighbour has buried me in her front yard, but it is ok. I am in good company.

A little low fog should burn off and it will be a beautiful day. We are taking the ferry from Prince Rupert down to Vancouver Island, an overnight trip.
