Pictures are sometimes highly overrated...unless it is of fish, he he!

Winter clothes? My inlaws live in Kelowna and all I hear is how we should move there since its so nice.

So do you put away pants, sweaters and hiking shoes for winter wear? You know our typical summer wear out this way?:lol:

Skies are clear and very beautiful morning here in Kelowna. It was kind of nice being woken up mid-morning on saturday to the sound of birds again :mrgreen:

I love bragg creek it is so amazing out there, beautiful reminds me of B.C. well not
the Okanagan per say. The Okanagan is beautiful just not so much in winter. No sun like
Alberta. After all we live in Canada. I remember when I lived in Victoria and they had
budgies outside in these cages I was amazed, pretty sure it was winter too!

DANG!!! I need me one of those... I should go borrow the neighbors Bobcat but don't feel comfortable borrowing things, plus I have never used one before... prob smash it into the side of the house or something. My hubby uses it but he is not that great either. You have a nice piece of alnd, any horses?

We went quadding in Burnt timber last year... was it Water Valley that had the two liquor stores, a bottle depot and small grocery store? It was whimsical to say the least. Gragg has two liquor stores and two bars too... we tend to embrace alchoalisum during the winter months.

Saturday was beautiful here too, I heard frog's croaking first time this year!
I am a frog fanatic. Love froggy's!

I personally love the snow...well, I love the great skiing Monday that was associated with the snow. Lake Louise had some FANTASTIC powder...

herm...I don't think I have any appointments booked for tomorrow......

I just love Mountians and Powder snow. Thats one reason I love my new job nesteled in the Selwyn Mountians in the NWT. Cold, white and majestic. Everything looks better covered in snow. Well, maybe not my Trans Am.

I'm being paid for 12 weeks of sitting at home:neutral: I'm going to go golfing today and riding in Revelstoke soon.

I have to say that you would have to take me out of Bragg in a body bag. Even in a$$ deep snow it is still quiet and beautiful. We were looking at houses in Kelowna just before we bought here in Bragg. It was depressing there and we decided not to even consider it. Plus my mother in law would be too close.:biggrin:

When we go through your neck of the woods this summer, I would love for you to take us on an LFS tour. Summer... it lasts all of six weeks from snow melting to snow again. We had snow on the ground last AUgust for two days...

Be careful out there bad year for avalanches lost a freind in an avy this week hung up my mountain boots for the rest of the year to risky out there

Sorry to hear that! Is it an exceptionally bad year for avalanches? If so, what would be the cause? Just too warm?

I personally prefer grass covered ground. There's not much chance of me getting buried by that, unless I sit still for a vvveeeeerrrrryyyy long time!

Wow, So sorry! That is a problem, that is for sure.

I think it has alot do do with the cold then warm makes it highly unstable

Bet if the liquor store closed you might move, heheheheheeh!

I only drink if I am having a bad tank day... things have been really good these day (knock on wood), plus booze sticks to my butt, like stink on a monkey. I've been doing lots of hiking to work it off, but now the snow is so deep, I'll lose my Stafford if he stepped off a trail.

Love visitor's when are you coming out????

Not sure yet... need to get a tank sitter. I have one in mind if his mom does not mind driving him to Bragg to check on things. Will let you know.

Yep, two liquor stores and the Saloon. All within stumbling distance of our 4 way stop.

No horses, but the neighbours horses and cows sometimes find their way onto our place. We have 160 acres and lots of old fencing. (one of the duties this year is repair of said fencing)

Of course we do have no shortage of these guys:

...and to all you guys with warm temperatures and sunshine, you know that can cause skin problems, right?:smile:

Mitch

It's snowing in Saskatoon right now.

Believe it or not, I'm allergic to the sun.

So I believe you!

Vampire!!!!!! :behindsofa:

Hahaa the deer are like big rats out here too... I send the dogs out to chase them off. We have had a bear on the property all winter (not hibernating), and cougars tracks at the back of the property. Dogs treed one last spring. I almost soiled myself. I have tons of pictures of deer in front of the house, usually a doe with her twin fawns.

If you want to borrow a rottie to herd the cows I would love to let her. Her bloodlines are all from a breeder in Olds that runs a feed lot and the dogs work the cattle.

You have a beautiful home and a wonderful out building... I can't imagine all the toys you can stuff into it. I am jealous. We did some work out in Water Valley and my hubby said we should look at land out there... he loved it.

.... well, I HAVE been known to bite! :evilbat:

Careful whom you say that to... some people are into that sort of thing:censored::censored:

It takes one to know one!!
:twised:

Are we talking, skin problems or wha-ha bite marks!?

Stay tuned folks................Until next week. Okay I admit the weather is getting to
me, cabin fever. WANTED train to anywhere or I would settle for a vampire bite.
Yes I am bored.......And should be doing my water changes....Sigh! But this is so much
more funnnnnn!

Sheez. Day 3 and snowing again. May be good for the farmland around here but cant be helping the Red river flood situation.

yeah, I heard about that on the radio last night. Sheesh. Same with North Dakota, they've actually declaired a state of emergency.

are you right in the problem area Doug?

Dont think the Brandon area will get flooding like those guys. We have had some melt flooding before this 3 day snow event which got some basements and the such. Winnipeg would normally get it after ND but with the Red River flood way expansion, they are much better prepared than in 97.

Looks terrible in ND. Seems they have Fargo on evac alert.

Where is this ice damming occurring?
Is it viewable on Google satellite?

Mitch

Probibally not. Most Google pictures are up to 2 years old, or more.

Sorry for your loss :sad:

I love that picture, what a great shot.

:scared: :faint:

So I think I've decided winter is never gonna end this year. The snow seems to like to melt during the week and then dump on the weekend.

Love the Bar-B-Que. It about sums up this spring.

This weekend I was going to remove the leaf blanket off my palm and banana trees, but now I hear it might dip back down to 0. :bad-word:


Well I guess there is only one thing left to do about this spring.:drinking:

NO! NO LANDSCAPING WORK JUST YET ! :sad:

All I want to do is to get outside and start working on the yard. We've been in this house for three years and want to spend some cash on landscaping the back yard. Surprising that the house is 10 years old and neither of the previous owners botherd to plant any trees.
