A beautiful morning for another
jaunt on the lake on snowshoes :)

January 29

A wonderful, activity-filled day ...  :)  :)

Even Cheyenne got to
spend some time outdoors

Rides on the ice

A little fishing ...

Some ice clearing and ...

Jess and Thea skating under the stars

A little hockey being played

And yes, I got to be there too  :)
Snowshoed across the lake and back.

January 28

We are getting a pretty
nice show under our veranda
since Conrad hung up this little feeder 

Several of these guys out on the road
on our way out to the Whiteshell today 

The view from our 'home'
for the next few days

January 27

A couple of teacups that
Thea and Ben get to use when
we have 'tea' together at Grandma'ss :)

January 26

Making good use of our beautiful weather

and played outside again 

Zoe was pretty frustrated with being strapped into a sled
 at the bottom of the hill and watching all the action :)

Kristin & Thea

A little mishap :)

January 25

A rescue chair :)

January 24

Off to the hill ...

And the race is on!

We had lots of fun!

Back up for another run 

:)  :)

January 23

A labor of love :)

January 22 ... Artificial light

Conrad decided that our path
to the back shop needed a little cleaning up

January 21

Our birthday boy .... a day early :)

January 20 ... Under / Beneath

Under my table lamp beside the couch ...
a hat that needs to be finished crocheting
and photos that need to be put into albums

January 19

Busy day with lots of comings and goings

at our house today :)

Thea & Ben (the Panda) in a rare time of sitting
together quietly and reading together :)
(And interesting enough, they were 'reading' the book
called 'I Wanna go to Grandma's House)

Ravae was waiting for her mom 

And Troy spotted this owl sitting up in one our
poplar trees late in the afternoon :)

January 18 ... With the sky

 

To have a flag hanging straight down in Southern Manitoba on a 

winter day is quite the treat! :)

January 17

Some rather interesting looking mini-babies :)

Januatry16 ... Sepia

I decided to head out for a bit of a drive to find something 

for today's prompt.  Proved a bit of a challenge in more ways than one.

Apparently there are a lot of country roads not cleared in winter :)

January 15 ...Gifts / Treasures

Still use the little pasta pin cushion that one of the kids made me
when I get to sit down in front of my sewing machine :)

January 14 ... Black and white

Zoey has figured out how
to remove her hats, so have to be
pretty quick snapping pic these days :)

Black and white hats
from our box of treasures :)

January 13 ... Mostly White

January 12 ... Draw / Color / Lines

I'm afraid my drawing skills are
limited to stencils :(

January 11 ... Contrast
