Fall is in the Air

Whether you call it Autumn or Fall, it's my favourite season.
I feel so inspired by the vibrant colour everywhere you look.
 I decided to go for a drive in the Cowichan Valley, the beautiful place I am happy to call home. 

                 

Here are some bonus shots I decided to add to this post.

This is the sun rise from my our bedroom window this morning.

 

This is the view from my office at work:) 

Coming soon a before & finished product of our new home...

2 Posts in 1 ~ The big move & spring has sprung!

Moving day finally arrived and I wasn't broken hearted saying goodbye to the cold snowy north.

Day 1 Tsay Keh Dene to Prince George.
We left Tsay Keh Dene at midnight so due to driving in utter darkness I didn't take any pictures.
We arrived in Pg around 8:30am, I was off to bed & Aaron picked up the Uhaul trailer & had some help loading it up.

Day 2 Prince George to Ladysmith.
We woke up at 7am to snow in Prince George and were ready to get going,
determined to be on the road by 9am.
With the Uhaul loaded & the kitties tucked away in the truck we were ready to roll.
We made really good time & decided to just go all the way catching the 8pm Tsawassen ferry, arriving in Ladysmith just before 11pm. That was a long haul!

The cats traveled surprisingly well.
Ilo just got comfy on the console between Aaron & I. Koloa hid under the blanket on the seat.

Finally on the ferry:)

Here is a mini tour of Ladysmith...

Our cozy new home:)
Now keep in mind over half of our stuff is still up north with Aaron so the house is pretty
empty & there isn't much hanging up on the walls.

Dinning room

Living Room

Kitchen
There's room for our little kitchen table.

Main bathroom

Master Bedroom

Ensuite

Spare Bedroom
Not much in here yet other than a bed!

Laundry Room

Not sure what to do with this room yet, but for now it's where the cat litter boxes & recycling go.

Back yard

Well the sun was shining and it finally felt like Spring had arrived. I grabbed the camera & poked around the yard enjoying what there was to offer.








Then I decided to go down to the ocean. I checked out Transfer Beach Park & Shell Beach.
Shell Beach was amazing! As soon as I walked down I could see 2 eagles in a nearby tree.
With the herring run right now the bay was bustling with activity.
The birds & seals were enjoying a buffet. Many people were taking in the view and activity.
This is a beach I will definitely be returning to!

Hopefully they find a replacement for Aaron soon & he can join the kitties
& myself in our new wonderful home:)
We miss you Aaron!
