Where's the Snow?

So last weekend, we decided to head to Waterton to play in the snow.  With nothing on the ground, we thought it would be fun to play in the white stuff and get some snowshoeing in too. We packed up the boys and our niece and headed West.  The mountains looked like a fall day with what appeared like a dusting of snow on the peaks and upper slopes.  The townsite was mostly bare with snow hiding in the shady parts of the town.  ...

Happy New Years!

Happy New Years to all you out there, not living in LOMAH.  It's been a year of fewer postings (The count is actually 80 if you include the 24 posts on our other blog) and busy like I can't remember.
