After spending most of my life in Winnipeg (commonly called Winterpeg), the amazing weather in British Columbia is such a bonus.

This is my 2nd winter in Chilliwack after my move from Winnipeg, Manitoba (sometimes called Winterpeg, Man Its cold. It was quite mild here last winter (my first B.C. winter), but I think some of the Manitoba weather has now found me.

This was another trip with the Senior Resources Group, where I have had many interesting trips.

The last time I was at the wetlands, I could see some of the ducks and geese dying – probably due to the Avian Influenza which was a problem last year during migration.

I went for a walk at the Great Blue Heron Reserve this morning since the weather was beautiful and I had to get out and walk.
