Log Booms and Mountains

A cold snap is moving in that may linger here for the next week or so. Time to bundle up.
But that's winter in the northern hemisphere. This morning it was so wonderful to step out and find that the air was fresh and crispy. Clear blue skies and dry roads, an endless line of logbooms on the Fraser and snow capped mountains everywhere as a spectacular backdrop. There should be so much more snow on the mountains this time of year so hopefully this incoming cold snap will help with that. 

Dramatic skies and Pastries

When first heading off to the local mega-recycling depot, the winter sky this morning was like a battleground between sun and cloud. Cloud was triumphant, and there is an 'atmospheric river' deluge victory dance coming by the end of the day.
We visited a (new-to-me) Starbucks location this morning.
And a third exciting event this morning was stopping in an Olivier's boulangerie oddly situated in an industrial park.

It may have been a short jaunt this morning, but it was filled with great things.

Ominous skies.

Demi-Baguette.

Sugary Palmiers.

They called these Pain au Raisin.

Ball of yarn.

Welcome 2023. So, what's in store for the next 365 days?

Our Sunday drive this week landed on the 1st of January. So, the roads were relatively clear of too much traffic. The sun shone for a nano-second first thing then intimidating clouds moved in. Really just another - day it just happened to be the first day of the new year. And lucky for us, retailers didn't think their employees needed any time off this time of year and we were able to have coffee at a different Starbucks we hadn't been to together before.

And what you've all been waiting: for random photos from the passenger seat.
