More snow, again.

Now the first time it snowed it was festive.
Now it is really annoying. Our church services are cancelled for tonight and Louise is out shovelling snow again. We think we had about 5 inches last night.
This brings our birdbath snow gage to about 15 1/2 inches and as you can see in the picture it is still snowing.
Roger is in Calgary and we wanted to show all of you how much snow we really have.
Louise cleaned his car off a few days ago so this is only the last two snow falls.
We have had the city truck come along and clean some snow away but not in the last 24 hours.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas in the snow or not.

Snow, more snow in Vancouver?!

Yes it is true in Vancouver we are continuing to have snow.
Mom and I made it to church this morning and then it snowed another inch while we were there.
Driving on the main roads are fine but the side streets are "winter driving".
Play our movie to see the latest snow storm.

I do have to tell you that even in this snowy time in Vancouver I was amazed when I was shopping yesterday that I saw a hummingbird!
I actually stopped to watch (and made others do the same) it as it seemed so out of place to see this tiny bird searching for flowers in the sub-zero temperatures. But it did find a flowering bush on 41st Ave.

Snowy Day

As rare as it is Vancouver did received snow last night. Here are a few pictures.

A tree is planted

It was another fall day here in Vancouver.

Mom really wanted to plant a Japanese Maple Tree so today Louise went with her to buy "Crimson Queen" a red leafed maple (well there aren't any leaves on the tree right now) but there should be in the spring).
They dug the hole and then added some of the many leaves from around the neighbourhood and in it went.

Our smaller visitor yet

I am a bit behind on the blog but I wanted to introduce you to our smallest visitor yet...Jacob.

He came with his mom Tricia all the way from Regina! He was a good guest and enjoyed his time with us, I think though he mostly slept while here.

New to us

Louise has requested I put up pictures of her exciting find from this past weekend.

We love Craig's list (see enteries from July).
We have been wanting to replace our old piano bench with a piano stool.
New ones just didn't fit the style of our piano room/ West Coast Indian Room.
But this one came up on Saturday and Roger and Louise drove out to Coquitlam to see and buy it! Louise's favourite thing about the stool is the brass "fish" feet!

Halloween Haunts

Our first Halloween at the house was filled with a lot of questions...
Where do we put the pumpkins?
How do we attach the sets of pumpkin lights?
How many "trick or treaters" will we have?

Louise spent a lot of time creating part of our Halloween display.
I think the pictures speak for themselves!

We ended up with over 100 visitors to our door!
