Last but definitely not least

I missed the boat on doing a late night   #wordlessWednesday after a beautiful sunset. So today, I am combining a new to me challenge #lastonthecard and my fav #fencepostfriday (plus #Sundaystills) to share my joy at returning home to our patch of native prairie and rural life.

Definitely Not a Code Brown!

Inside joke for hospital workers is to take the WHMIS code brown (which stands for “in facility hazardous spill”) and make it mean something else. Any guesses?

#Blueskiesandsunshine

My favourite hashtag is #blueskiesandsunshine and that’s what yesterday was all about. Not so much today but I try hard, sometimes unsuccessfully, not to whine about the weather.

Marvelous Moody Monday

It’s snowing to beat the bands or some such saying. I was never too sure about that one! It is bright out despite the total cloud cover.

Walking Waddling WordlessWednesday

Waddling – the act of walking in deep snow

Trailing it…

I feel incredibly blessed to have many walking trails right outside our back door and through The Gateway. Even when we lived in the city I sought out the nature walks along the river. It grounds me even if the trail is hard slugging (think tall tall grasses or deep deep snow) or hard to find (mostly cow and deer trails and sometimes they disappear). I love to take my littles on a walk and they love to go. There is always something new to see even, when one walks the same area regularly, if observant and mindful. Plus it seems I sort out a lot of mental headspace when I walk.

Fabulous #FencePost Friday

Today was sublime really. Crisp (not cold) with intense blue skies. Of course today was preceeded by freezing rain, snow and then hoar frost. Which meant it was sparkly and delicious.

#Sundaystills Snow “leaves”

The leaves are long down and are now nicely buried under the first solid layer of snow. Bonus points for being both moisture and brightening up the world around as November can seem dull and drab here on the prairies.
