Grasshopper

This will be Bagheera's last appearance here. He has been cleaned up and is ready to be sold to a new home. . He does clean up nicely.

....oh and I think I am going to make some gingerbread cookies too.

I will be printing some more of my photo gift cards tomorrow. My new online photo shop has had a few sales now and I have my cards in a few local stores as well. The stores have asked for some February cards, for the holidays and such. So I am pulling out some of my flower shots. I don't normally spent a lot of time on the flower pics, so it will be fun to see them printed. These have been edited for the intention of being on a 5x7 card, so they tend to be a bit dramatic. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Unfortunately yes, hopefully we don't get too much. Woke up to below freezing again this morning, so no ride, but went for a nice long hike instead!

I might be able to get out on a bike this weekend. The more seasonal weather has returned and melted almost all the snow. Although the yard is a big mess from the all the storms, so I figure a few hours of clean up each day will be in order! .

Never understand that.....I think maybe because tent people freak out those non-tent people......

This is true, but not having the extra responsibility right now opens up some more extreme travelling options, there will be another time for a dog I'm sure......

This year started off very different without a dog in the house. Which is is both an ending and a beginning for my world as I know it. 2022 is going to be so different that I am still having a hard time putting it into words. I'll share once the time comes...but I am VERY EXCITED about 2022

Tents can be very warm and cozy in the winter. The snow is a great insulator. I spent a week once in the mountains during the winter and loved it. Hope to do more very soon!

Great looking dogs, they look very happy.

I do work for a few that have money than brains....works good for me.......

Good memory... Yes, a Keeper of the Books by day and an international spy agent by night......

.

Way to lighten the mood.....

Perhaps? $250 CAD But it was a gift from one of my clients, so I don't mind.

Ohhh, look at that smile I have the same thoughts now........NEVER again, can't do it........ But, I have a feeling that will pass and I will have another dog someday.....they are just so awesome!

Speaking of Kettles.....I just spoiled myself and got the Kelly Kettle Scout Ultimate Kit It's a stick stove and boils water super fast...... ...and it has a whistle! This is not a bike camping kit, but still very nice!!!

I keep having "dog moments", feel like I have forgotten something, or should check on her and say hi..... Last night I thought I heard her drinking water in the kitchen, so weird. The house sure does take on a different feeling. I love my GoPros and making videos. I find it fun for myself, too look back at my adventures.

So nice to know I am not the only one, everyone is always going on about their mummy bags..... I do not like them at all, so uncomfortable....... freak me out too.....

No, unfortunately.....the temps went up just above freezing last night and turned all the snow into slush and muck........just a mess out there and my tires on the Himalayan are too old for any traction that would help.....

......lol, so true

The roads look nice and dry! What is the building in the first pic?

To be fair, I am a rural Canadian...... . It's just how us simple folk roll......
