Winter has arrived in the Yukon!
We went to bed with no snow, and woke up to this!
A view of a backyard with freshly fallen snow. A garden box on the left, is full of haskap bushes that now look like twigs, has about 4 inches of snow built up on the edges.

Spent today making donuts with a friend. It was an adventure, but we each finished with a baker's dozen regular donuts, a bag of timbits, and full tummies from sampling.
A tray of raw donuts on a cookie sheet, waiting patiently for their turn in the oil bath 2 donuts, enduring the frying process in an open pot of boiling oil The finished product - chocolate glazed donuts on a cooling rack - 3 disappeared before the picture could be taken

There's been a snow feeling in the air these last few days, so I decided to embrace the season, and make a raisin spice cake.
It was sooooo good 😊

Heading home...nothing like a bit of icing sugar on the mountains to remind us all that winter is just around the corner.
Also, shout out to Air North for the warm cookies 🍪❤️

Your post made my day...it reminded me of my Snowy, who passed away a few years ago. Bestest doggo!

4 spruce grouse taking up space on an ATV trail. Totally unbothered by my presence...

I'm so proud of myself! I picked the berries from my backyard patch. In previous years, I have just frozen them to use in winter, but this year I got brave, and made jam.
#cooking
Several jars of raspberry jam, on a black waffle weave tea towel.

Is it me, or does it look like a dragon?

A fallen tree. Shaped like an arch and looking quite like a grey dragon (head to the left, body to the right). Yellow willows in the background and lake reflection in the foreground

10 beautiful km along a logging road on the last day of August. The leaves are just starting to turn, and you can see Fox Lake in the distance.

A glorious 2-day, 40 km trek in the area of the Dawson overland trail, Yukon.
The fall colours are just starting to show!

A large wooden signboard (yellow with green border) reading: Dawson overland trail, part of Trans Canada trail A stand of conifers on an overcast day). Tall trees, with lots of deadfall underneath. A fresh cut log end shows evidence of recent work by trail maintenance volunteers A weary hiker rests mid-trail. Foreground shows reclining legs (green pants,hiking boots with purple laces)and a set of blue hiking poles on the green grass between a double track trail. A grey overcast sky, mutes the beginning autumn colours of the Yukon wilderness. Yellow willows in foreground, green grass meadow midrange, conifer forest and a dark blue mountain in the distance.

A square container mostly full of dark purple/dark pink haskap berries. The container sits on a pale oak tabletop, and the corner of a blue, green and white quilted table runner is visible in the top left corner of the image.

She's cool, but I am happy to admire from a distance #spider
A spider - black abdomen, black and orange striped legs (with some kind of weird translucent stripe interspersed), and a semi translucent orange thorax.

25 km in 2 days. The best way to spend the summer in the Yukon.
#hiking
#yukon
A silicone pot and lid resting on a Primus stove and metal table. The red fuel bottle is beside the cook surface, and the whole set-up is in the boreal forest. A two-rut dirt ATV trail through sparse Aspen and green scrubby brush. In the distance, 3 wild horses have come out to check us out. In the far distance, the blue peaks of Ibex Valley and the Takhini River Valley can be seen. Squirrel tracks traveling left to right through a muddy patch (those guys have surprisingly long claws) Little River, Yukon A fast-flowing stream, with a boulder in the middle. Straight across, the hiking path can be seen as a gap in the bank

The borrowed dog has gone home after her week-long sojourn with us, and now our house feels strangely empty.
#dogsofbluesky
A Rottweiler -lab cross, sitting on a rug in front of a blue couch that has a rumpled yellow quilt on it. The dog is panting, and looks happy (as well she should, as we walked over 5km this morning)

I borrowed a dog, and I broke it🤣🤣🤣
A Rottweiler -lab cross lying on her side on a sunny lawn. She is cradling her current favorite stick between her front legs. Splinters from the aforementioned stick can be seen around her.
