It's that time of year again - MUD SEASON in the Fraser Valley! Mud Season officially starts on St. Patrick's Day (or within a couple days) and lasts for about a year... yes, about a year. Confused? I was confused for the first 5 years of living in Winter Park, but now I see as clearly as my front windshield on a good day... we'll ignore the [...]

I left off last time with how the wolf hadstartedinteracting with humans and how evolution started to change. Humans, in effect, replace nature's process with our "man-made" one. With almost 14,000 years of man's meddling, a new animal evolved. These animals, thanks to domestication and diet, had smaller brains, heads, and teeth compared to [...]

I was showing homes the other day in Lake Forest, a quaint subdivision that sits on the north shore of Lake Granby, when some unlikely neighbors came to greet us. It was a mama and a baby moose! We got out of the car very slowly and waited for a second to make sure we didn't spook them. Mama moose are notorious for protecting their young by [...]

I've been skiing since age 10, skiing Winter Park since 1988 and I'm almost half-way to 100 years old! While I've “adjusted” my skiing style over the years, the biggest change for the good has put me back on the Bunny Slopes.

The Grand County Blues Society brought Trampled Under Foot to town to play for their Fat Tuesday celebration and we ended up with the added pleasure of having Soulmate sit in for a few numbers at the end. It was a great night of music and dancing! Real [...]
