Winter weather

Yesterday the rain changed into snow

Today it is cold mainly because of the wind

Bruce trail north of Terra Cotta




We went hiking again
a bit slippery on icy sections


met some people with spikes on their shoes


that would have been a good idea for us too



sometimes it was very slippery


love the little waterfall


close to the badlands


they are not as pretty in the snow


unpronounceable street name


there were 4 road sections which is great in the winter


always great to see the car

Noordcreek Global Impact


This cow's name is Noordcreek Global Impact
Rien's idea of giving her a name to live up to
The bull's name is Global and it is kind of a fun combination
Her Impact has been local:
on her 10th birthday she made 100.000kg
her local impact is that she has no offspring...sad

New Year



Oliebollen, a Dutch New Year tradition

I think they are the fore runners of doughnuts







Bug your neighbour, fun large crowd card game



sometimes you wonder, could there be to much JD?
