In the great white north...

So this is my first blog entry. Not sure what exactly will happen with this blog but I thought I would give it a shot and see what happens. I am no word smith, I just write what first comes to my mind. Anyhow to begin.
This past weekend was thanksgiving, and of course it had to snow. Have you ever completely skipped a season? I mean other than going somewhere warm to escape the cold? well we just experienced skipping a season. Like a week and a half ago I was sitting at work in a tank-top and shorts and planing on going to the beach with some friends. yeah that would be the last week in September! It was still in the 30s. then WHOOSH! In comes an "arctic front". What's that for? I mean I know I'm living "up north" but central Alberta ain't that close to the arctic! Now here I sit in front on the fire with hot chocolate, and a blanket warming up after a nice ride on my horse, and I am watching it snow outside...really...snow? whatever! oh and of course our water heater for the horses water broke and we did not find this out till their water trough was frozen solid! and it's not a tiny one, it's a huge old rubber tractor tire. So now I spend an hour every morning breaking ice out of buckets for the dogs and the horses. Well at least it's not just cold, at least we have snow so it's not so bad cause you can still have snowball fights. Maybe we'll get a longer snowboarding season now...that could be nice! Anyhow if I don't freeze I will probably post something again soon. till then stay warm!
