Coping With A Cold-Snap

Most of Canada is in the grip of an Arctic cold-snap.

Yes, this IS Canada and it IS winter after all,

but this is early for even us.

So when I looked out a window yesterday 

and saw that the shed's widows were completely

frosted over,

I knew we would be in for a cold walk/hike today.

Inside was another story: warm, green plants seemed to be thriving near a window.

I couldn't help but dream for a second about being in a 'summer cottage'

like the one below.......enjoying a warmer season.

After putting it off for as long as I could

and after putting on multiple layers of clothing 

and taking along newly acquired 'hand-warmers,

we were off on our hike.

I would have a few photos of the hike but Picasa is not cooperating

at the moment and won't allow me to download my photos.

It is cold here lately but with the help of 'layers'

and those very effective hand-warmers'

we had a great walk/hike

and Sophie had a blast too!
