Same place, different season

Before in the summer






After- in the winter


Winter here has it's own charm. It's actually been a pretty good winter so far. There is plenty of snow, but hasn't been super cold for very long and we've had warmer days, like just under freezing. (That's mild, here). It was about -1C the day I took this picture at the beach, but I have now realized that just because it is minus 1 at the house, doesn't mean it will be that nice at the beach. It's always cold there with the wind whipping off the now partially frozen lake. It's pretty dangerous too. I was thinking the water was way out there and walked toward it when I heard a crunch, only a few feet in. I dug down in the snow a bit and sure enough, there was the shore, totally hidden in a wide expanse of snow covering.

This weekend we went to my cousin's in the city to watch the Saskatchewan roughrider's play for the Grey cup.

They brainwash their kids early here. Through school no less!


Ivan enjoyed watching football for the first time, even though the preferred team lost! It was so fun to be all together.

If you follow the progression of that specific football team you will note that they have what's call the 3rd quarter nap. You could probably count on your digits how many points they have scored in that period over the last 5 years now. But the real problem isn't even the slow quarter. It's the fact they don't always wake up to play the forth! Like the grey cup game.

So, who won? Were our American football players better than their American football players?
