Views from our West Window

This was sunset a few nights ago. Getting into winter sunsets are often breathtaking up here.
This is the same view tonight. The bare trees in the top picture are on the right side in this photo above. You can just barely see the lake, and that is a low, thick cloud all the way across behind it, not trees. A very weird sky tonight.
A few minutes later, the lake was amazing and the sky had changed completely. It's too bad it doesn't really show the true colour of the lake. It was a goldy/silvery colour, I've never seen anything quite like it. Certainly looks very winter-like here.

Oh, we love the snow!!!!

That's the dogs talking, not us!!!!
Blast is having a great time rolling around on an old bone in the snow.
Out for a walk in the forest, Trust is pleased with herself, having just chased a poor bunny.

"Have you got any treats for us?"
Walking on a trail at the back, Tank ran back to see what was keeping me....It was a gorgeous walk through the forest.

Not ready for this....

The snow began yesterday afternoon, October 30th and we awoke to this beautiful sight this morning...however, we really don't want it yet and hope the next couple of days will melt it all...look at my poor teeter and tunnel down at the corner...how sad.
And we also hope it melts as deer hunting begins tomorrow, and tracks are so easily followed. This pretty girl was standing in the old manure pile eating lovely, lush grass from under the snow.
Of course, the dogs love it! Tank was pretending he didn't hear me calling him in, he was having so much fun.
