Stunning (Day 32)
So we are back. This lake would have to be my favourite I do believe. It’s a blue-er blue and just more peaceful or something. But I will say, the background in Lake Louise (i.e. the snowcapped moutains and glaciers) is spectacular. Both have their perks but on this day, Lake Moraine won. I think it must have been that I got to walk across a log damn on the edge of the lake and scale a rock mountain. I was feeling adventurous and rebellious. We did not take the path laid out for us. We opted for the road less taken and climbed up this rock face instead. In…

V-a-c-a-t-i-o-n (Day 30)
So J and I were able to get away on our anniversary vacation. Maybe not on the days we had planned for months ago, but we got away nonetheless. And we made the best choice. It was beautiful. Breathtaking. Peaceful. Just what I needed. I couldn’t believe that the Lake (& Lake Moraine) were just as blue/green that magazines and the tv show you. This photo was taken while we were canoeing around Lake Louise (aka “Lake of Little Fishes” then “Emerald Lake” ). I have so many pictures to share. This blog may become an advertisement for Lake Louise/Banff in the upcoming weeks! I would say everyone needs to…

Photos Photos on the Wall
We are finally getting around to hanging pictures on our walls. It’s a harder task than I had imagined that is for sure. We have so many and so many more we want to hang. But this was the first ‘for sure’ thing that we did. I had an image and this fit it perfectly. It’s the wall behind, or beside whichever you want to call it, our dining room table. The next big thing we want to hang is a photo wall filled with photos from home and maybe some scenery we’ve taken photos of in our travels. But we can’t decide which room and on which wall and…

Our Clematis Bloomed!! (Day 28)
So it was suspected that our clematis would be dormant until next year or it had bloomed already before we bought it since we bought it real late in the gardening season. But lo & behold it began to bud and one finally opened. And we have several more. Each time I check the plant there seems to be more buds and the ‘vines’ are longer and twisted. It’s pretty sweet. I saw this plant growing outside of one of our local greenhouses and knew I had to have it. Then J put up this great trellis and then the magic happened. It grew and grew and flowered. Isn’t it…
