🏔 The west coast of Canada has been as messy as the east. Nothing like the California floods, thankfully. Jess was worried about their ski hills, what with their rain, but all is well after that Atmospheric River. They are skiing up a storm out west. The girls are taking cross country ski lessons. It's a terrific ski club. Jess teaches skiing, as well, as part of the family program. It is a great way for the littles to get out and about.
⛷These are photos from the family photo stream. First Bryony!
⛄Here we are in Ontario, settling in to actual winter temperatures. Snow is on the way, they tell us.

Cinnamon seems to have had trouble coming down like a firefighter. That is his usual method of disembarking!

🏇Proposed Gun Range
We still await the results of the proposed rezoning for the gun range. In the meantime, they decided to cover the issue: CTV News 📹 We await a report or two, or three. One is a Peer Review of the Acoustic Report, after which Council will vote on rezoning. Citizens want reports on the clean up, as well. Years of OPP discharging weapons. It is difficult being patient, but that is the best way to ensure it is done properly.
Sadly, the news reporter didn't do his homework. He didn't even mention the two thoroughbred horse farms nearby, including Ian Millar's farm. It is all about the noise. I heard firing there📹 , Jan. 3rd, when I was out working.

Cinn at the bottom of the tree... 'nothing to see here, that went exactly as planned'... Crikey though, I hope those little pawsies don't get frostbite! YAM xx
Oh Cinnamon is so cute figuring out how to get down from the tree...and his ring tail reminds me of another friend that must be hunkered down in the cold.
Cinnamon isn't too graceful in that descent.
I hope the horse farms (and everybody else) doesn't end up losing the noise war.
I have a brother who skis. The one and only time I tried I discovered I was faster on my face.
Good luck with gun range. Not surprised that the reporter's homework was sketchy.
You intrepid Canadians can handle it! Best wishes
Your kids out west look so happy!
My winter hols were on the farm, feeding out hay and silage and helping milk cows, summer ones were hay making, taking tea, and scones to the workers. What marvellous opportunities they have there, great times together for them all. Your cats, dare devils on the frozen ice ponds, and clambering down skills, need a few lessons maybe.We had one small kitten that regularly needed a ladder rescue!!!
Cross country skiing is the greatest. we have excellent conditions here this winter.
Poor cat had some difficulty with the tree.
I don't know what made me think about you the other day and the gun place but I was wondering if you had any news. Not much, it sounds like. I can't imagine what it would be like with a horse farm there -- they must be crazy with that.
I thought that coyote was a wolf. I'm glad you keep your kitties safe with predators around.
How sweet your family is into winter sports. Got a laugh at Cinnamon.
You need a good reporter to cover your Gun Range.
