A beautful saturday afternoon in the Kootenays. How could one live anywhere else? We got to spend an afternoon out in the back country with a new group of friends called the Back Country Horsemen. What a wonderful afternoon!

Mild weather and semi-sunny skies made for a relaxing afternoon outdoors. Follow this up with hot chocolate, coffee,hot dogs and an amazing assortment of goodies. Good people and conversation abounded.

Not too many kids this year though, and it ended up mostly us adults this time. Wish we could share these events with our grandchildren but with everyone long distance it isn't possible. Len's daughter also had to work to, so we'll have to plan another day.

You know I have a hard time imagine living in a big centre anymore when we have so much more here to enjoy. Even got to try out my new snowshoes but the snow was way too wet and heavy for us to go very far. We'll have to try another day. I am sure that will happen as, unfortunately, we are still getting snow and winter is in no hurry to leave.
