Antarctica, South Pole at Night

Another “First Sign of Spring”?

A bug landed in my beer…feels like I’m camping already! 😉 (And yes, I scooped it out and kept on drinking – no tiny bug is going to make me waste a $5 craft beer!)

Saturday Snap – First Shorts of the Year?

For some reason, I’ve made a point to note the first day of snow every year pretty much since I started this blog. But with beautiful +14 weather on the last day of winter, I wonder if I missed an opportunity to also record the first day I wore shorts outside each spring?

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 360 Front Flip With A Twist (January 2017)

In hindsight, letting a 10-year old parkour addict jump off the snow-covered garage  into a big pile of snow was probably not the wisest decision of my parenting career (and isn’t that usually the stuff you do when your parents aren’t watching anyhow?)

Saturday Snap – How To Simulate a Tropical Holiday in Covid Times

Normally, Saturday Snap is a pic I’ve taken but I came across this on social media and decided to post it… We’ve been fortunate to do a winter holiday for the past few years so now that we’re into February, it’s starting to hit me that this won’t be happening this year (doesn’t help that […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stuck in Snow (January 2010)

Saturday Snap – Snow Day? What’s That?

We had a bit of a surprise waiting for us when we opened our front door after the big snow/wind storm earlier this week. In fact, pretty much our whole house was caked in snow like this – pretty cool effect – almost like living in a snow globe!

First Snow of the Year (2020 Edition)

And in perfect 2020 fashion, the first “snow that stays” of the year is a massive blizzard (well, its hit Saskatoon more than Regina so far but we’ll see what we wake up to tomorrow!)  Anyhow, at least it came relatively late compared to other years.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Snow at Shutdown (March 2020)

Happened to this picture from early March which gives a sense of how long we’ve been living with Covid.  Given that we shut down just before March 20/21, we’re technically into our third season of living with Covid – winter, spring and now summer.   And there will likely be many more seasons of Covid-life to […]
