So here's the last of the photos from the Yurt adventure:
 |
| A wee bit of sunshine struggling to get through the grey clouds. Mmmmmuch colder today - down to -18c! |
 |
| Before you think we're getting all mushy here, I was a bit of a grumpus because it was so ccccccold and Michael was all gungho about going for another 100 mile hike. Sometimes I just can't handle his high level of gungho-ness! This is how he tries to improve my mood! Pretty underhanded wouldn't ya say? |
 |
| Where all had been open water yesterday is now covered with a thin veneer of ice and snow - would NOT want to fall into the river or the lake today! |
 |
| We took a different trail but then drove down the road a ways so we could go to the lake again - lots of wave action again today - I don't know HOW cold it was with the wind chill. |
 |
| Inviting no? NOT!! No sand today - just lots of ice formations! |
 |
| Because of the size of the waves and the frigid temperatures everything within 20 - 30 feet of the shoreline was now coated with ice! |
 |
| Just hanging around trying to stay warm! |
 |
| Lumpy ice is nice! |
 |
| I felt sorry for the long grasses - they were frozen solid! |
 |
| Won't be long now til the river is all covered with ice. |
 |
| A very different shoreline than yesterday! Everything is frozen solid. |
 |
| As we were walking back to the car we came across a family feeding the chickadees! So I joined in and Michael snapped a few pictures. I tried it without my mitts but my hand froze within seconds. |
 |
| But the birds didn't mind my mitts. So was I glad that Michael dragged my butt out for a hike - YES!! Just an example of the pros and cons of living with a life coach - ya just can't get away with being a grumpus! |
 |
| Look - two chickadees! Gotta go, going to finally finish watching "Couples Retreat"!! SO FUNNY!! Don't ya just love Vince Vaughn? Ya sure wouldn't catch him on a 100 mile hike!! |
I'm so far behind in your life. Sorry. I've been trying to keep up around here, damn kids wanting food and all.
ReplyDeleteUm Burrrrrrrrr, that would kill me! Just cuddle and snuggle and you should stay warm.
oh how pretty!!
ReplyDeleteGreat, pictures of the chickadees. I admire you, I cannot handle the cold at all. I used to be able to but I really struggle when it is below freezing. I hate that about me. You gotta love the daughters if you didn't you would kill them!
