We were beginning to think there wouldn't be snow for Christmas. However on December 26 the 2cm of snow that we were suppose to get turned into more like 12-15 cm.
Here is a timelapse video of clips I put together from that day:

sunrise | sunset
I've been playing around with a time lapse app on my iPad (the same one I used on my iPhone). Here is the first sunrise/sunset time lapse I took through my bedroom window and the kitchen window:

Christmas Music Advent Calendar - Day 24
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - Tchaikovsky Cover by Jack Conte. Yup, just awesome!
The Original Scrooge
YouTube can be a vast treasure trove. I have found this gem from 1935 that is apparently the first screen adaption of A Christmas Carol, also just called Scrooge.
A Christmas Carol or Scrooge
Just watched the new Disney's Christmas Carol staring Jim Carey. It was okay, but 1971's Scrooge staring Albert Finney is still my favourite. Surprising since I'm not one for musicals.

Yes, I am a Newfoundlander. I haven't, however spent a Christmas in Newfoundland since I was very little. So little in fact, that I don't remember ever seeing Mummers at the house, although I have seen pictures.

Daily Christmas Light iPhone Photo #1
Today, to pick up the hobby again, I will start with my Daily Christmas Light iPhone Photos.
Today's photo is a massive (although it looks quite small in the photo. I was unable to get close enough) Christmas tree in someone front yard:
Thirty Days
I'm way behind on my the "Weasley" Kitty Videos. This is day thirty from way back in June.

Snow, snow and more snow
The first *real* snow of the season arrived today. We had plenty of warning and were prepared. Still, as pretty as it is, I'm not a big fan of the snow and all it entails. I've started my count down to spring.
To make the best of it I decided I would try out the time lapse app I recently downloaded to my iphone. I put the phone in the front window and let it run from 9 am to 5 pm. There were a few falls (read cats playing with the power cord and pulling it out of the window), the quality isn't that great and I should have put it in a window facing the back yard where the amount of snow that fell is more apparent. However, it was my first time lapse experiment and I've learned what not to do next time.

Night Sky – Daily iPhone Photograph #165
Standing on the deck watching the bats fly around. Of course, the camera on the phone
didn't catch any of them. Oh well, the sky was still pretty.

They Are Gone.
Our babies; our four little gingers; our Weasleys; Freddy, Georgy, Ronnie and Ginnie are gone.
We knew from the beginning that we couldn't keep them, we had too many cats already. All because people treat cats like throw away, disposable animals, we end up with so many wandering around the village. A lot of them making their way to our back yard. We do our best but we can't take everyone in. And these four, being kittens have a chance at getting adopted.
Still it's painful. I love them so much.
It's been just over a week, but I still find myself tearing up when I think of them. Our Thunder. That's what we started calling them because of the sounds the made running from one end of the bathroom to the other.
We helped raise them for almost eleven weeks. We watched them learn to walk and climb, to use the litter pot and eat solid food. We were the ones who took them to the vet to get fixed and were the ones who worried about them while they healed from their surgeries.
For the last week they've been in the care of a Hants County NSSPCA foster home. This is where they will be while they wait to find their "furever" homes.
I can't stop worrying about how they are doing, or the kind of home they will get. They will always be a part of me. I know I will always think of them.
____________________________________________________________________
I'm still very behind on the videos I'm making about them. I find it quite hard right now to watch all the video clips of taken of them over the weeks.
The latest, Twenty-eight Days Old is up:
I've been finding it hard for a while now to edit these videos down to just a couple of minutes. I'm sure now that the kitties are gone I'm going to find it even more difficult to edit down the video. So, as each one is edited, they will probably get progressively longer. Beside, they are more meant for us as memories of the babies than they are for others.
Behind but not forgotten, part 3. – Daily iPhone Photograph #149 - #163

Hannigar's Farm Park & Trail
On Natal Day, August 1, 2011, we stopped at the Hannigar's Farm market. After we did a little food shopping I wanted to go and see the ducks in the pond. I was unaware that Hannigar's actually had a little park. Such a nice discovery.

Sunset on the Windsor Waterfront...
...or waiting for the Fireworks.
While we were waiting for the Windsor West Hants Summerfest Fireworks to start, I shot some video to catch the beautiful sunset.

The Day of Thunder, Lightning and Rain
The weather in Nova Scotia is always unpredictable. That's just the way it is. When you live here you know this and rarely bat an eyelid when things seem a bit odd in the way weather. (Of course this doesn't stop us from complaining about it). However on Tuesday (August 2, 2011) things were more than a little bit odd, it was down right strange.
We knew we were expecting thunder storms to roll through. But I doubt very much that anyone really expected 8 hours (or more) of heavy rain...
...thunder...
...and more lightning then I have every seen in my life.
...thunder...
...and more lightning then I have every seen in my life.
The storm was a bit out of the ordinary. And while I do not possess a fear of thunder and lightning (personally I enjoyed the light show Mother Nature put on), I can say that I hope not to experience a storm like that again for quite some time.

Beach – Daily iPhone Photograph #145
Trip to the beach today. The tide was in, all the way up to the rock line you see here.
While we were there the tide started going out; very quickly.
