Christmas day

The beautiful light blue arch is now overhead. It sounds like a train in the west as warm air rushes through the mountain passes. A Chinook is happening Christmas day, in Cree Chinook means welcomed friend. I walked for about one hour and a half getting rid of the excess of Christmas food. Bye for now, Jay

Christmas eve 2010

Hello world
It is a beautiful morning in Red Deer. The weather is warming, the sky is the warm light blue. The magpies seem to gather in the trees by the apartment, as if it was their Parliament or senate. They were quiet this morning. The deer walked on the foot path behind the apartment last night. All is well. Bye for now Jay

I look out my apartment windows, I do not have a deck, to see lights aglow on a six suite apartment nearby. The people that live in that apartment do not have a lot of money. He does odd jobs and she probably does the same. Their balcony is aglow of lights making the spirit of the season shine. These people probably receive money to live yet they are the only ones to have lights on. In Red Deer Tim Horton's was giving away coffer makers for good community spirit. These people should win.

Hello world;
I went for a walk at noon today. I would see two young deer, probably twin fawns form this year, behind the arena in Deer. Their coats were full, bristly and warm. They only ran away a few feet from me. It was very nice to see. That word nice should be changed to great. It is a beautiful sunny winter day in Deer today. Highs for Christmas may be on the plus side. Bye for now, Jay

It a beautiful sunny day in Deer today. It seems just about every night the deer way along the path that I walk on behind the apartment by the creek. Lots of spirit in this place, the animals are always nearby. A little cool today, bye for now. Jay

The air has been full of energy the last couple days here in Red Deer. Winter storm warnings abound yet we have had little in the way of snow or blizzard conditions. The animals and birds seemed hunker down so maybe the forecasts are correct. The whole being is almost electric. Bye for now, the jay man

Good afternoon world,
It is a cool, minus 14 Celsius afternoon in Red Deer. The air is damp with moisture from the Pacific Ocean. I walked over to twisted tree this morning and on the footpath that proceeds through the woods. A little red Squirrel with fir cone in mouth ran across the path as I entered the woods. It was a kind of welcoming to the sights and sounds of the woods. The beaver damn gurgled. A father had cleared a patch of ice for his children to play hockey or skate. Deep richness of spirit and mind sang in this part of the woods with joy. Bye jay

Good Morning. It is a beautiful day, the weather is suppose to be plus 2 Celsius. That is warm for Red Deer, Alberta this time of year. A deer used the same path I walk on behind the apartment this morning. I could see the hoofs cut deep into the packed snow. The deer was on the move, his or her weight cutting deeply into the snow as they shifted their weight. The marks were after I had gone for my Timmies coffee in the morning. Magpies were holding their convention in the old fir just back of the apartment. It was a noisy affair with many topics discussed. Bye for now, Jay
