Biked around #glenmore. Still some ice on pathways. #yyc

Out for a bike ride. Very pleasant with the sun. #yyc #biking

Cool running at #yyc #winsport

Out for the first bike ride of the season. New art on the pathway.

Have a great morning on this last day of February. With this fiery red south part of the sunrise, the Spring Equinox is coming!

At the #zoo for a walk with my grandchild. #yyc

A community garden in the adjacent linear park that we put in and I have volunteered to maintain. A small commitment. Have cut down the Foerster grass but will leave the one bluestem grass for interest. Will be back when the snow completely melts.

The sun set at 6:07 PM and I took this photo 10 minutes later. I couldn't help myself. I was out raking the little bit of lawn exposed by the melting snow and gathering the branches from the glass willow. Hoping for Spring. #yyc #Spring

Probably last day at Bowness for a skate. I found a 60' by 60' patch that was just decent enough to skate on today. #iceskating #Bowness #yyc

So I told my bro that I'll miss the cold weather. He said that I am the only one. Now I wonder if I don't need this hat for the rest of the season. #yyc #weather

Let love lift us.

46 yrs ago my mother-in-law knit me this sweater. She's 90 yrs old, living alone now and doesn't remember knitting it... but I do. I mended a big hole in one elbow and it has scene more use this winter. I wear it when I am out for a skate in the -20C weather. We will visit her tomorrow. 😃

Out snow farming in the AM. Moving snow onto ski tracks.

Big win in OT! Nice my bro joined me at the bar.

Chinese food takeout! Love it.

Flames with a deflating loss tonight. Enjoyed watching the game.

Weird, I don't mind running machinery to clear the rinks at -19C. Just another sparkling winter day. It's dress up time... except not exotic tuxedos, just sweaters, base layers and mitts.

At my son's cul-de-sac to celebrate a #grandchild 's first year birthday. A wonderful brekkie.

A frosty morning in #yyc

Always loved this building. Calgary #Zoo

A lot of prep to get out there for the Dad and daughters. #ODR

First to skate on the rink this AM. Found out just missed a few friends by minutes...drats..

Not many at the rink at -17C tonight. Still fun to skate on Hockey Day in Canada.
