Yow
Wow, I think the next ice age has begun! It has been snowing all night. (It started around 6:00 yesterday) adding to an already impressive (for our area) dump of snow. I was going to go visit Mother's grave today, but I don't think it's gonna happen today.
Of course, the Weather Network has been telling us the temperature is going to rise to +5 and give us rain... But then, when we lived in Fort St. John they said we were getting snow, when in fact there was a clear blue sky with a few ice crystals in the air. :-D

Time certainly does fly by, doesn't it? tomorrow it will be one year since my mother passed away. Today, I made shortbread from her recipe... Sniff... They turned out perfectly. Which is a miracle because nobody could bake goodies like mom could.
Brrrr
Cold looking, if we were in the North country, I would have said snow was coming....
But this picture was taken in early August, just a couple of weeks ago. Scary.....

Favorite Animal
I love horses, I had to stop and take a few pictures the other day.
1942
Sometime in 1942, someone decided (I guess) that the dead of Japanese Canadians posed some kind of threat - they bulldozed the Japanese section of the Chemainus cemetery - a disgusting act, in my opinion. I will not debate the merit of the internment of living Japanese Canadians here, you must form your own opinion on that issue.
What threat did the dead pose? How were they bothering the fool(s) who did the act? Please don't hit me with "the times were different" a grave is/was a grave. They are not to be desecrated in any way, this held as true then as it does now.

It is time.

Whale Watching
Last Wednesday we went Whale watching in Telegraph Cove, which is about 30 minutes south of Port McNeil.
We didn't see Orca,but we did see a Humpback Whale, which put on a bit of a show.
It breached a number of times.
We also saw Porpoise.

Changes
Out with the old:
This is a recumbent "exercycle" by Bodybreak, as sold by Sears Canada. Supposedly good to 275 pounds (according to Sears) Looking forward to
workouts where I don't get pinched or squeezed, and where it doesn't
bang, clunk, grind or make all sorts of other noises.

Yeehaw
The new exercise bike arrived today (I finally gave up on the old bike which kept breaking, and since the company which made it had gone buhbye - I had to build my own replacement parts.)
Details later.
Eclipse
A couple of shots from the Wednesday February 20th 2008 lunar eclipse.
Eclipse and close friend.

Elk
I am glad that I take my camera with me pretty much everywhere I go, today Penny spotted a herd of Roosevelt elk munching away in a farmer's field. These are a big animal... They are the largest of the Elk - a big one can weigh as much as 1000 pounds.

Watch the Birdie
On a lighter note, a Varied Thrush
sits on a tree in my parents yard.
