Quilting

I started a quilt for my Grandson's Fiance....last fall. She picked the material at an online store. I didn't realize when I ordered the material that some was backed order. Needless to say...I received the last of my material a couple weeks ago. So that has made it slow going...that plus there were blocks that  took more time..

Sun seeker...

Some body... in our house is a Sunseeker...

 It is sunny ... but freezing cold...... like -17C

She follows the sun from room to room.

 

Morning Moonshine

 Morning walk ended looking at the moonshine!

Pictures from my camera never show the full beauty.

Looking Back....Another Wedding

Second grandchild (brother to granddaugher that got marrried) got engaged in April of 2021. They planned their wedding for Thanksgiving weekend in October. (At the time their were no mandates or restrictions because of Covid)

Well shortly before the date the mandates and restrictions all came down.... so that dissolved the church wedding and inside reception unless she only had 50 guests.

Makayla was determined not to cancel any invitation she had sent our...and found an outside venue... (outside gatherings were allowed up to 200 people)

It was a beautiful spot on the outskirts of the city with views of the mountain. The day was sunny (but you could feel the breeze off the mountains)

She had chosen beautiful fall colours

The reception and dance were all outside.... 

with firepits going at the end of the day.... 

It was a beautiful wedding

Two grandchildren married off...

and one daughter and son in law who became empty nesters!

Kootenay Lake....

It was a dreary day...but we took a drive up the lake...we walked this part of the beach....

For those of you who don't know about our lake here is a little info...

 Kootenay Lake is a long, narrow and deep fjord-like lake located between the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges in the Kootenayregion of British Columbia.It is one of the largest lakes in British Columbia, at 104 km in length and 3–5 km in width.

Kootenay Lake is populated with many species of fish, such as Rainbow trout, Bull Trout, Burbot, Mountain Whitefish, White Sturgeon, Brook Trout, Largemouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Pumpkinseed sunfish and Kokanee Salmon.

The scenic drive along the lake is 48 miles long....we have a number of beaches we can stop at.... Rocky ones...sandy ones...

Looking forward to days like this!!

Sunrise Reflection

 The Sunrise reflects on the Western Mountains...

I do miss the Prairie sunset and sunrise....but do enjoy mornings like this!
