a winter walk

a winter walk

Winter is beautiful in so many ways. I know there are times that I complain about it, but in all fairness the blue skies and white snow make a truly beautiful backdrop.

Lilah and I went on a little winter walk today. There is a relatively new little bakery/kitchen open up the street called 'Life of Pie' and we decided to go for lunch and check it out - one things for sure, we'll be back! The homemade pie, soup and maple cupcakes were so delicious!

It was a lovely walk on a brisk cold day, and when we got home I pulled Lilah's trike out of the garden shed so she could have a little scoot around - I think it made our little trikers day, since it's been about 4 months since she's been able to get out triking!

  1. Hi Jill. I watched the Life of Pie commercial , it looks lovely! Its great to see someone with an idea and just run with it. I'm sure it will become a handy place to go for a "Treat"! And although you still have a lot of snow, it does look like things are getting a bit warmer for you. I have missed that wee trike too! Dx

  2. Wow, you guys still have so much snow! We keep getting rid of our snow, to have it all back the next day! Oh well, spring is almost here.
    The coffee shop looks great.

  4. That bakery sounds like a charming little place! I am glad to see we aren't the only ones with mounds of snow... I am thankful for the beauty of winter and the blue skies... but am so longing for spring right now!

  5. You really captured your walk beautifully. Sounds like a lovely bakery.

    Most of our snow was gone and overnight it's back again! Spring is coming soon (hopefully!)

    I am really glad to have found your blog as I am just starting out an online adoption resource (www.adoptionmagazine.ca). I am wondering if I can add your blog to the list of "Canadian Adoption Blogs". Please let me know at adoptionmagazine@gmail.com. Thanks a bunch!
