Project 365 - Week 43

 Making up for a few weeks of less than 7 photos today - with a few extras :)  There were some good opportunities to take some shots - especially as you'll see with the extreme weather we had.


The weather heated up on Sunday and everything was melting so I took a picture of our maple seeds on the tree dripping.  It was such a pretty blue sky that day.  


With the leaves not having fallen off the trees yet, the frost looks so pretty on the hedge.  



Sauteeing up some pretty colors of vegetables for some soup I was making.  



Our poor son.  Gets better from a stomach virus only to go to his Volleyball Game, play, and then have a trip to the ER.  It doesn't appear that it's broken (though the xrays were inconclusive), but there is some ligament damage.  So they casted it and we'll see the Dr. again this week for more news.  Could mean the end of volleyball - but he's hoping it won't prevent him from playing basketball too!  


The Blizzard.  You'll have to click on these photos to see them more closely.  This was the day that 12 inches fell, and it took me 90 minutes to get to work rather than 25.  As much of a pain as that was - wow, it makes everything so beautiful!  Our own little winter wonderland!
















A little snow on the bird feeder.  Though it's sheltered on our porch,  the snow blew in.  It continued to snow for 3 days, I'm not a big fan of the cloudy grey skies :( .


And how fun does this look?  It's our indoor waterpark.  Our Church rented out the facility and then sold tickets as a fundraiser for a family team that's going on a Mission Trip on Spring Break.   It was really fun.  And much warmer than the snowy temperatures outside.  That's a huge wave pool in the forground and then some of the larger slides in the background.  





And finally today - sunshine!  This is what we're known for in Sunny Alberta.  You can see all the snow on the tree in our backyard.  Everything is heavily laden with snow.  It is really beautiful.

And there's another week in photos!  Thanks for coming by!
