Pineridge Hollow and the Christmas Home Tour (for Habitat for Humanity)

Samantha and I met girlfriend Ashley today at Pineridge Hollow for a fabulous buffet brunch at our table. I indulged and had a hot chocolate with Bailey's - uber yum! Then the two of us went on a bus tour of six local homes that were decked out in Christmas regalia, enough to make me want to get home and start my Christmas decorating! Have never done this tour before, and I think it will now become an annual trek. And yes, there were some little things at the store-side of the Pineridge Hollow that made their way back home with me!

And, of course, I had my camera with me and managed to snap some Christmas decor. Enjoy.

Prairie Smoke aka. Old Man Whiskers

I know, almost six months ago, on a wonderful Manitoba summer day! But it warms the soul on a day like today at the end of November, when the forecasted high is -17 Celsius (yes, that says minus), which equates to -2 Farenheit. Simply put, it's cold outside. So, I'm appreciating some summer beauty right about now. Hubby and I were driving through Bird's Hill Park and came across a very large field that was frosted with this off-hue of pink, so I asked him to stop. I have never seen this before and was quite taken with the endless beauty. The name of this little beauty if Prairie Smoke, altough often referred to as Old Man Whiskers.
