Home in the Ontario Snow

Well we safely arrived home in Ontario this past Sunday and boy oh boy does Ontario ever have snow! We definately notice it in the city subdivisions where the snow banks are higher than the vehicles, but we love seeing all the snow on the trees. What a beatutiful sight,

We have now spent a few days with family and the fun we are having with our neices and nephews can't be cherished enough. Christmas day will definately be full of excitement. We did some city mall shopping today and it was abit crazy but our 3 yr old neice kept us entertained the whole time. It's hard to "hide" gifts from her and not look like shop lifters :)

This weekend we will be trying to catch up on visits with friends...and we hope the weather cooperates.

Crispy Crunch




No, we are not talking about the chocolate bar, but crispy crunch is the clear sound as we are walking around the camp property these days.
Tonight before the sunset we decided to go for a brief walk. Brief was the outcome because the temperatures here were about -17 degrees, but it was amazing to experience the stillness. (This past week we had talked with some friends and loved ones who are in the midst of job and holiday stress already...making us realize that we do enjoy where we live.) No one else around the 140 acre property, just us. So, we didn't talk we just enjoyed the sound of the crispy crunchy snow.

It is now less than a week before we will be returning to Ontario to visit those we love and we can't wait!!
