Black, taupe and ivory

I would like to decorate my living room in canada goose colors; those lovely, rich layers of subtle taupes and ivory with a warm black contrast. And then maybe a splash of turquoise here and there to spice things up. We can't have things TOO sophisticated around here, you see.

Is it weird that whenever I see a canadian honker I feel like redecorating?

Skywatch Friday: Lake Louise

On yet another remarkably warm day for January, I couldn't resist a quick stop at Lake Louise when I was out in Sudden Valley recently. With the birdsong, the mild breeze, and the sun warm on my skin, it felt a lot more like spring than winter.

There is some concern over the warmth of our winter-- the folks in charge of the Olympics at Whistler, just a couple hours north of us, are particularly nervous. Also, we're not building up the snowpack necessary to keep up our water supply come summer.

Still... it's awfully hard to get too worked up about it when it's such a beautiful day.
