This past couple weeks have been a wonderful time of settling in to routine a bit more, and also a road trip to Dawson Creek for a few errands. My plan for the first month or two had been to just relax and just ease myself in to life in this new place. Everything is so very different here than what I had previously known. This week I felt an urge to get started working on my artwork and ease myself to the task of starting a home based business. There is much to do and plan. Setting a schedule for my day has a few more bugs to be worked out, though I think I will never accomplish everything in a day that I would like to.
The drive around the loop to Dawson Creek (Home> Chetwynd > Dawson Creek> Fort St John> Hudson's Hope> Home) was gorgeous, and a long, long drive. Along the way I felt a renewed love of the area with the crisp pure air and a hope for the plans and dreams my husband and I have made for our future. It was great to just get out for a day while accomplishing a few tasks for myself and Tom.
Christmas will be here soon! I am so excited to be able to celebrate Christmas with Tom. Our first Christmas together will always be special. There's no doubt we can expect to have a white Christmas. I've never lived where the snow stayed for more than a few days. It has been quite a bit colder here, but I have still been getting out for walks down a trail or two. I will need to get a warmer coat soon.
The photo above is the view from the hills up behind our house. There, I found the motherload of blueberry bushes and raspberry plants. I can't wait until they are all set with ripe fruit. My mouth is already watering with the thought of berry smoothies, berry pies, jams, and berry sauces to cover everything. This morning I made crepes for breakfast and dreamed of the berry syrup I would use on them. For now, though, I was quite pleased with the sweet smooth maple syrup sent up from my Mother-in-law in Wisconsin. Delicious!
