You probably don’t have to be a long-time visitor to Life in the Bogs to know winter is my favorite season. I love it, most especially when there is snow. Snow is necessary for a proper, enjoyable winter. I’ve lived in places where they have rainy, dreary winters, and that’s no fun at all. If gray, wet days are what you experience during the winter months, I can understand not loving the season.

This morning by the pond
We’re getting more snow today. Yay! It is incredibly beautiful. I wish you could be here to see it.

Fog and mist on the Sunrise Trail. Nova Scotia. June 2012.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a Thursday Travels post. I know. It’s Friday, not Thursday. But I’m off skiing this afternoon and won’t have time to post the photos from that little adventure so you’re stuck with a scheduled post and some travel photos from Nova Scotia today. In my last Thursday Travels post (Ferries and boats and lighthouses, oh my), M and I had just landed in Nova Scotia. We left Caribou, Nova Scotia, and went east on the Sunrise Trail, making our way towards Cape Breton.

Not the maker of plans and promises, but rather the one who offers faithful service in small matters. This is the person who is most likely to achieve what is good and lasting.

Mr. Cardinal watches as the snow starts to fall. Everything looks a little blurry due to the movement of the snow as well as the wind in the branches of the tree.
Wow. We have been having quite a snow event here in the Bogs today. It’s incredible. And beautiful. And incredible. This is more like what I expect from winter in these parts.
Happy Christmas!
