For those of you who have read the December issue of Canadian Living, you may have read the following little gem:
"This is the true north strong and free, and cold and wet and icy and dark-sometimes all at once. It's why God invented long johns. This is Canada. We have winter. Life sucks. Get a toque. And embrace it."
- Rick Mercer
Words to live by - especially when you live in the Knife!!
With the weather hitting -20 degrees Celcius, we definately are feeling the need to bundle up more and more. I cracked and bought winter boots from Weaver & Devore, which are wonderful as my feet are staying toasty warm and I am not slipping and sliding all over the dense ice packed roads. I am surprised at how "not bad" -20 is in Yellowknife when you dress for the weather! ("Not bad" is my discription for all things Yellowknife -tee hee!) I think I may have to purchase snowshoes... maybe cross country skis, the winter wonderland outside looks far to enticing to not be out having some fun!
Elliott and I have been meeting many new people in the past little while, which has been great. A few days ago we watched the Santa Claus Parade, which was an absolute hoot! All of the quads, skidoos, trucks and floats in the parade were lit up with christmas lights, all the townsfolk were just a waving away at everyone. When Santa came it was sheer magic. Even Elliott was waving and cheering for Santa. (Actually - he did the same when the fire and police floats drove by... lol, how old is he?)
Life continues to roll along in the Knife!
