What Happened to November??

It's hard to believe that it will soon be December. I'm sure the rapid passing of November was assisted by Wes & my absence from the resort for 10 days on the west coast. Wes needed to participate in a Check Pilot course in Vancouver so we took the opportunity to hop to The Island for a few days before the course. We had a great time catching up with the offspring (Dennis & Mark) and were able to take in a show featuring The Front Porch String Pickin' Band in which the oldest of the two offspring, Dennis, plays upright bass.

The most prominent memory of October and thus far into November seems to be rain. It feels like we are now making up for the lack of rain through the summer months. The first week of hunting saw hunters sweltering in the bush and the moose seeking deep cover to stay warm. The second week of hunting was non-stop rain - downpours lightening to drizzles only to revert back to downpours. Despite the non-hunting conducive weather one hunting party did bag a young bull to fill the Resort Bull Tag.

The weather forecast is predicting that the rain will turn to snow early next week. While it would be nice to have snow for Christmas, I won't complain if the fall weather stretches on a little longer. Despite all those winters spent in Yellowknife, I am not missing the cold weather.

Our Annual Holiday Open House is scheduled for December 23 from 7-9. If you are in the area you are welcome to drop by for some holiday treats and a cup of cheer. Hope to see you!
