SNOWY WHISTLER

 

All we have at home, in southern BC, is rain, a bit of frost, and a sprinkling
of snowflakes, just to give us a treat.
I DO miss snow for Christmas.

According to the old calender, Christmas is celebrated on the 6th of January
and this was our treat,
SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS. lol

Ok we already had Christmas along with the rest of the world, but still,
it's a romantic thought.

My friend came out to Whistler with her family and since time flies, and
we did not see each other for two years, we made sure to go up there,
so we could catch up on the news and our friendship.
The road changed quickly from rain to snow as soon as we reached Squamish
and going up a slight slope, competing with the tractors constantly
clearing the snow to the houses, was tricky but we managed.

 

It was unbelievably still and quiet up there, just like I remember it
back in Quebec, where truly, we could feast our eyes
on a winter wonderland.
We treasure every season because of how it changes and how good it feels for the soul
to be a part of  this life cycle.
Whistler did not disappoint us.

The boys went snowboarding and then hurried back to watch the football game.
We played a heated game of  scrabble, cause the bratty guys liked to make up words lol,
 had a bite to eat and enjoyed each others company by a crackling fire
and the absolute beauty outside the window.

It was a wonderful day.
The drive back was a challenge since all the roads were snow covered and
the snow never stopped falling up there the whole day.
As we passed Squamish, it again changed to rain and the temperature
went up from 1Celcius to 4C  .

We came  home to green grass and green trees and bare parks and bunnies in our yard.
I must remember to leave them some goodies outside so we can watch them.
They are soo cute.
