2015 Goals

Do you set goals for the New Year? I usually set at least one goal, sometimes several. This year I'm planning a few triathlons and shooting towards doing an olympic distance, with a lake swim YIKES! My first one is planned for April (pool swim)!

What goals have you set for 2015?

So warm

It is so warm here in Victoria currently. While my ideal winter is a snow covered trail what we are getting here right now is rain, more rain and a side of rain.

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve and many people spend it running about getting last minute shopping done, I know my husband does!

My favourite part of today is the end when we snuggle into the house, watch a movie or old Christmas cartoon, maybe have some hot chocolate. Relax. 

What is your favourite thing to do on Christmas Eve?

Skating on Lakes

Something about skating on a snow covered lake makes me smile. When I worked at Spruce Meadows in Calgary many many moons ago one of our favourite night time activities was to skate on the pond if it was frozen. 

It's still one of my favourite things to do. If we ever get enough of a freeze here in Victoria I'm going to flood our riding arena and make a skating rink!

Next time it snows

Next time it snows I think I'll try taking some photos of the horses. This idea is one I'm going to try.

Winter Solstice

It's no secret that I love winter and pretty much everything about it. Today is winter solstice, and the first official day of winter. I often sit today and dream of snow. This photo reminds me of the snow laden roads we often encounter when we head out to our property in Stettler. One year I will spend the whole winter out there.
