with the long twilight we get gorgeous alpenglow on the mountains. It inspired me to find a cocktail recipe to go with it. I did and it is delicious.
2oz bourbon
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 oz maple syrup
Dash bitters - I used my home made balsamic tip bitters.
Chill glass. Shake ingredients with ice until chilled. Strain into chilled glass over ice. Enjoy.
during our long twilight we have the opportunity to watch the local ravens dance and play. They love the south wind - as it hits the clay cliffs it provides a river of air they play in.
I took most of these without zoom - the ravens are so close you can almost touch them. At times they come in and tag out black dog, as if to say; ‘can you fly?’
the sun has been rising for the last half hour- the pink blush on the snow doesn’t really appear in the photo, but it is there.
it’s been a predictive few weeks here in Whitehorse. Between chopping wood working and other tasks daily life I’ve been finishing up some quilting projects. And starting new ones, of course.
We had a lovely rainy morning visit to this garden. Other than the very informative docent we had the whole garden to ourselves for almost an hour.
The docent did a wonderful bit of tutelage about yin and yang the - duality of all things. 
They have the sweetest little community garden.
It was early when we arrived, as we sat in a bench the sun came up and the birds started twittering. We departed into an overcast morning sliding along grey tracks bounded by snowy trees.
We woke in the dark to the rolling fields of Saskatchewan. Now we are in the true flatlands with only the sky for company.
It’s pretty cold, between the cars there’s hoar frost.
we had a station stop in Winnipeg and were able to leave the train and walk around for an hour. Folks on the train recommended a visit to the Forks. It was a great recommend.
There’s a skating trail and a walking trail. It was wonderful seeing so many new skaters, and many look like new Canadians.
