Winter days

We've tried our best to enjoy the snowy winter weather here the past weeks.  Snowshoeing, hiking, daily skating or sledding, snow fort building, and outdoor play in our twig house.  Yesterday our daughter discovered the toboggan can be used for hauling firewood, and much larger loads than can be carried by the armful.  We all love cozy fires in the evening, especially when we settle in for some board games like our latest favourite Bird Bingo (available from our awesome local independent bookstore Wordsworth Books), Wildcraft (how could I resist a board game that teaches players to use medicinal herbs), and lots of the classic Uno.
