I have a long way to go to complete my kit but it will be my summer project this year to collect as many of these things together as I can. Safe driving!Canadian trivia - this building is a hockey rink with an attached curling rink in a village. It is no longer in use because the costs to maintain it are too high. This is a common sight in villages and small towns on the prairies.
Beautiful photos but oh soooooo cold. I do not envy you one little bit. Keep warm. Diane
ReplyDeleteCold, cold, cold....but oh so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteles photos sont superbes j'adore la neige
ReplyDeletebonne soirée
I don't have the firewood in my trunk, but I have almost everything else! I didn't know there was an actual list; I'm just going on common sense.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures, as always.
Marjie> I should have given a prize for this! You are amazing. I should have known!
ReplyDeleteStunning landscape! Since I come from a tropical country and never see snow, I'm always amazed at this white scenery, despite all the hassle of this severe weather! Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteYes winter is back with a vengeance. When do you estimate you'll be back in your kitchen?
ReplyDeleteValli> oh, it has been a bit of a roller coaster. The contractor thought I had a slide-in range and built the countertop for that. Then he realized I have a free standing. It was touch and go if he could adapt the countertop. If not, it would take 3 weeks to get more laminate. But all is well. I have scheduled to have appliances delivered on Feb 7 and to move my furniture up to the main floor at the same time. Then I have to get plumbers and electicians back in to connect everything. And I have to get tile in bathroom and kitchen. I have no idea how long it takes to do that. Can't shower upstairs until then. I think it will be at minimum 3 weeks still. Perhaps longer. I can hardly wait until I can put my things into the new kitchen! It will be so exciting to organize everything.
ReplyDeleteWinter landscapes are so beautiful. I love the old ice rink barn shot, its is quintessential Canadian countryside. You live in gorgeous country!
ReplyDeleteSo THAT'S where all the snow is! LOL
ReplyDeleteThis really is great news that your kitchen is moving forward and the counter problem was solvable... wow a new kitchen done exactly the way you want it... that would be awesome. I can't wait to see. That list for your travels... scary... but gosh with that cold you could be in such trouble!! Although we have tons of snow (and my St Bernard is in snow heaven), it's not that cold... 16 below... that's cold.
ReplyDeleteAndrea> quintessential yes!
ReplyDeleteEmptyNester> LOL, yes it is here!
Deana> yes, that is cold. Brrrr.
-16 below? Makes ya long for Hawaii. Burr. New York has had 56 inches of snow and we are not done yet.
ReplyDeleteYour list reminds me of my Girl Scout camping list.
I'm so glad the kitchen is coming along. It's always stressful and difficult and when you are ready to give up, it comes together beautifully.
What a shame that villages can no longer maintain the local rink.
Keep warm.
Pam
I froze just looking at these photos! Hope I never have to experience cold like this.
ReplyDelete-16.................wow. Those are temperatures I pray never to feel!!!!!!!!!! It is beautiful though. Enjoy your weekend
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HEART DAY TO YOU, dear Sarah!
