New Year Fun

New Year's Eve was brought in at Joann and Lloyd's. No pictures; I wisely left my camera at home. Shots of me Wii Bowling aren't something you want to see, trust me. It was fun, though.

New Year's Day was lovely, the best weather of the weekend, so we decided on a trek to the upper farm. Irene, Myles, Dodie, and Carl, ready to go.

Carl pauses under the overhanging trees. Everything was heavily laden with snow on top of ice, and a lot of broken branches and some felled trees were evident. This picture is taken on the road, which is about 6 feet wide. With the trees bending over it looked more like a path.

Had to get a pic of Iain, too. He looks so nice.

When we got to Diana's place, we broke out the goodies and had a trail lunch. The small fire was pretty nice on the hands.

You'll notice that Diana's shack, high in the Opeongo hills, has been frequented by bears. THIS is where we stopped for lunch - not something I'd want to do in the summer when they are out and about.

Here's a closeup of the damage they have done to the siding. Yikes.
