First of all Happy New Years to all of you!!!
I really cant believe its already January and Christmas is kind of behind us,
where did the time go?
But we had a good and calm Christmas here, and I hope all of you had very joyful
Christmas and holiday season.
So winter arrived early here and we have still a ton of snow {new storm on its way tomorrow sometime}, and so far we have been okay {touch wood!}
but for many this has been a very hard times.
We have family and friends in Toronto who were without power for over a week during the holidays, but thankfully they have it back now and it was not a day too soon. It has been super cold here and a lot of stuff freeze, we have to keep our eyes on our water pipes just in case.
Picture above is from the other day when it kind of warmed up a bit,
the night before it had been -28c and with the wind it was -40c
I even had a hard time taking this picture as the screen door has frozen stuck, so that's why the picture is a bit of a blur.
So its been good days to stay in and draw and paint, but when you do venture out
and Mr B and I have, been out for nice long walks in the woods
{its all about layers of clothing and lots of it}
And a few times we went downtown and I tell you,
this cold sure makes some interesting things to see
And only here, do you see this!
This man or woman was driving on the high way with its parka hood up
Seriously!!!
{didn't have my camera out on time, so drew it after}
Then sitting in a coffee shop looking at people standing outside waiting for buses, is nothing but very
interesting {I did once before but it was much warmer then}
Well, with temperatures like this, its like everyone are working undercover or something.
Every inch is covered and no one says much but just grunt through the crowds or try very hard to hold back a runny nose... And every once breaths are making the bus stop look all fogged in.
Last picture here I took last night, its taken from the National archives parking lot {facing west}
and I just loved the colour of the sky and the city lights.
The funny looking building you see in the middle is the War museum.
Here's to winter and 2014, Happy New Years and I hope this new year will bring you and your dearest and nearest good health, joy and peace and ton of super creative times and moments.
