Deep River, Canada today 🇨🇦(November 30). After the snow.

Remembrance Day 🇨🇦 My mom lived to 101. In 1944 her younger brother was killed when his plane was shot down over Holland. Just 20. Until the day she died she never was able to watch or hear a Remembrance Day service. It just hurt too much. She would just leave the room if it was on the radio or TV.

🇨🇦 There’s something about the first bit of whiteness that raises your spirits a bit. It may not even cover the brownish greyness but still. I’m not going to break into a rousing chorus of Deck the Halls but it’s amazing the power of a snowflake! Makes one want to fire up the hot chocolate.

Home. Deep River 🇨🇦 Dawn. Nov. 7. It is official. First of the season. A light dusting of snow overnight but snow nonetheless. More forecast for Sunday. 😬

Gordon Lightfoot referred in his song, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” to the gales of November. Today’s the day! Gale warnings on lakes Huron, Erie and Ontario. Wave heights 3 metres/10 feet. Photo is one taken earlier at Port Stanley, Ontario 🇨🇦 on the north shore of Lake Erie.

Home. Deep River 🇨🇦 We literally live on the edge of the wilderness. Go NE out of our backyard and there is nothing but lakes and rivers and forest for 1400 kilometres! Drive less than 3 minutes this side and there are banks, fire and police depts., supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants, and, and, and.

Good morning! 🌅 Home. Deep River 🇨🇦. One minute from our backyard gate.

So Canadian. 🇨🇦

Funny those things that remain important to you over your lifetime. Not an Olympic gold medal but pretty damn close.
