Chilly morn..

Well we've had some pretty chilly mornings here in Sooke and although its a bit shocking when I step outside for the morning walk, it is such a blessed relief from all that rain. The moon has been full too, which makes everything that much crisp and clear...I can walk out to the henhouse at 6 a.m without the need for a flashlight and see all the shadows from the moonshine, still high in the sky...



I am crazy for frost...the way it puts a sugar coating on things is magical and it seems can transform the ugly duckling into the swan...



The van windows become works of art after a cold night...





We haven't had snow yet this season, but hopefully we will get a little for a short time...here on the coast it is a bit of a novelty when it snows...I grew up in Toronto, so snow and winter just go together although I don't enjoy driving in it, I love to crunch through the woods when the first snow comes...part of the magic of these cold, dark days...
