Weekend in Montreal

Fabulous but freezing weekend in Montreal to celebrate yet another birthday. Just like when we went to Quebec City in January one year, we had to buy some warmer hats and gloves to protect us on our strolls. A real highlight was the hockey game ( a first for me)  between the Canadiens and the Penguins. Bravo to P K Subban and Sidney Crosby who are true stars!

Last Harvest


Hard to believe that we were still collecting vegetables from our garden in mid  November! Beets, leeks, kale and Swiss chard. Alas, the raspberries didn't make it through the last frost. The leeks made a delicious chicken pot pie. Comfort food for these gray days. Enjoyed a fabulous multimedia David Bowie exhibit at the art gallery for a culture fix. I didn't realize what a multifaceted artist David Bowie is. And I love the views of downtown Toronto from that amazing architectural gem.

At the Cabin


Last weekend in Bancroft for a while I expect. The shed for the vintage tractor now has the steel roof on it and more copper bracelets were made. A roaring bonfire got rid of all the brush and kept the snowflakes away. Snow on the fir trees a harbinger of what is to come.
