24 hours....

It amazes me at times how different 24 hours can be! Today is May 29th, 2010...two months into Spring and one month away from Summer! Yesterday my world actually looked like Spring...



Today however I am in the midst of Winter...once again!



ARGHHH!!!!

That's all I have to say.

Victoria Day...

Well, so ends another Victoria Day long weekend...with weather very typical of Alberta! We had rain, snow, wind and fortunately today even a bit of sunshine! Fortunately we were not out camping as many people attempted...I can see no fun in being cooped up in our tent trailer with two dogs, Taylor & Bill...love them all BUT would be too close for comfort!
Instead we managed to get some things done in the house and today even got some gardening done and mowed the field our lawn became with all the recent rain! Taylor was a great help with removing two old, dead Dogwood trees from the garden!
So not much photography opportunity with the weather, but I managed a couple of shots of my apple tree before the weather took away all the beautiful blooms!


Hope everyone had a great long weekend...regardless of weather and enjoy a short work week!

Pages to share...

Well I had the most wonderful time at Bull River Guest Ranch last weekend. I was at a scrapbooking retreat in British Columbia, a little piece of heaven for sure! My friend Connie and I had a long drive from Edmonton, which seemed really fast as we talked and laughed the whole time. A couple pit stops for gas, pees and pictures and we arrived in time for dinner!
The ranch has it's own lovely chef on staff, and C.J. prepared the most amazing meals for us for the entire weekend. Pictures of some of those meals will come in a few days...but unfortunately this site does not support scratch and taste for your total enjoyment!
The group of ladies I spent the weekend with were fabulous and welcomed me into their world. So many laughs to be had between scrapbooking, Jell-O shooters and wine! Despite feeling not so productive at times I did manage to complete some pages!
Monday came way too quickly and after feasting unnecessarily on C.J.'s last meal for us, Connie and I were once again packed into her car for our trip home! Our trip home proved to be a journey through all weather systems...torrential rains, hail, crazy winds, dust clouds, thunder, lightening and yes we did have brief moments of sunshine! Despite the conditions we made it home in good time and I slept like a baby in my bed that night!
