This is the first snowfall in Lethbridge ... the second we didn't take pictures ... to busy cleaning the slide toppers ... |
Still some nice sunsets there ... I'm sure that if we return in better weather, our opinions of Lethbridge might improve???? |

The Ottawa Tulip Festival ... Apparently, the Dutch Government yearly send thousands of tulip bulbs to Ottawa in memory of the Canadian Dutch co- operation in WWII |
It was near the end of the festival and some of the flowers were looking a little tired, but still a neat sight for even a non Dutch person like me |

To heck with flowers ... this is a sight!!! 55 cans of beer .... I was tempted to buy several but Elsie quietly asked ... where would we put them ... ever practical Elsie ... sigh |
