We were surprised to see a flock of geese!

Day 342
Stalker parents? Our son had an hour long (bumpy) drive, on busy streets, to get to where he had to do some snow clearing, of course we had to make sure he was OK! He did say that he saw one accident, everyone was fine, and he wasn't involved.

Day 341
The rabbit was snacking on the thorny rose bushes.
Extreme cold temperatures now (-30℃ with -40℃ windchill) - hopefully he is keeping warm.

Day 337
Christmas Eve is time for traditional food at our home - tourtière (French Canadian meat pies)!

Day 336
Over a week ago the temperature warmed up and the snow was sticky, snowmen popped up all over our village - I thought this group was nice.
It is very rare to be able to make snowmen here - it is usually too cold and the snow won't stick together, more like ice. It has been fun to see all the snowmen.

Day 335
A present for under the tree! This one came from the other side of the world (thanks Raewyn!).

Day 332
A week of spinning finished!
I had lots of fun trying different ways to dye and spin - it is the first time I have dyed and spun yarn with no project in mind.
Painting, gradient, and spot dyeing; fingering weight, sport weight and worsted weight; 2-ply, 3-ply and chain plied - they all started as the same 100g, white, merino/silk roving.
This week has given me the confidence to dye and spin enough wool for a sweater.

Day 331
I'm grateful for warm clothes that make walking outside at this time of the year pleasant.

Day 329
Our home December 2014.
Warm weather over the weekend melted lots of the snow, then we had a little bit of snow yesterday.
❤Joanne
Day 328
The last 3 bundles ready for spinning.
I thought this photo, taken with a flash, looked like everything was floating.
❤Joanne
Day 326
I finished the first skein!
I bought 6 bundles of fibre recently, and the plan is to dye, spin and then put them up for sale.
This one took about 10 hours to spin.

Day 321
All our stockings are different types of embroidery.
My Father stitched the cross stitch one, and I made the others.
❤Joanne
Day 320
We decorated the Christmas tree today.
We like to collect ornaments while on vacations - these are from Germany, France and Italy.

Day 315
A second, smaller flock of partridges arrived at the bird feeder this morning.
A few minutes later there was lots of chirping, and the large flock came around the corner of the house.
You can see the small flock running away!
It is amazing how territorial they are.
❤Joanne
