A Warm Melty Day in Hacketts Cove, Canada

It's the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon enjoying this respite from the cold. The icicles are still loving life, and the snow is becoming "workable" enough for the kids to make some little snowmen.

Alls well on the water, it's high tide.

It was one of those days where I had to coax them in for lunch, they could have stayed out there forever...

C'mon! I want a really bigass Canadian snowman.
I waited long enough, haven't I!?
Another lovely walk Lyndsay ❤️

In February or March I promise you, you will see a big assed full on grown Man Snowman!!

Ooh I love the icicle photos!
And are you sure Mr. Pendock isn't Gaston from Beauty and the Beast?
No one crows like Gaston
Walks in snow like Gaston
No one's a God to all hens in the coop like Gaston!
I'm especially good at the chiiiiiicken rugby...
Oh what a roo, Gaston!

Bwa hahahahahaaaa~!!! YESSS!! You are so epic at getting old classics stuck in my head hahahha!! Thank you for the smiles :) :) :)

OOPS I meant to upvote you and somehow upvoted myself. That's some brain fog magick, right there. I OHA'ed myself. 😂

Why oh why did you get this song stuck in my head

LOL, so sorry. I do it to myself, too, because my baby brother watched that movie so many times I practically know it by heart.
As a specimen, yes, he's intiiiiiiimidating...

IMG_3721.JPG
I am curious about this building, is this home? from far away everything looks so beautiful clean white coated by snow..
is it where you live a little people?
I am furious to see your child they look very funny when along with a snowman.
@lyndsaybowes
thank you for sharing, the picture is very beautiful. almost all in white is clean

Hi @lidiasteem! :) The building is most likely a type of fish house, or boat house, like a storage shed. I have never gone near it though to find out. I'm glad you thought the snow men were funny, I did too! :)

Very interesting video of chickens' rugby match. Great fun for them and the kids too.

You'll have to take a number

Mr pendock should be one very lucky guy.... I mean chicken-guy
The ice on the plants make beautiful photos. Lovely photos

Thank you so much for coming with us again for another day!

Love the snowmen with mohawks! The Queen & Mr. Pendock will make beautiful chicks...lol. Nice walk today as it doesn't look so cold. Lots of icicles though.

Oooh they will make beautiful chicks that's for sure, unfortunately we'll have to sell them, as you can see I've got more than we need already hahaha! <3 <3 I'm glad you liked the mohawks, I thought it was really creative of the boys. They got me to knock them off of the house with a shovel lol.

As long as the babies go to a good home...

I left Canada over 3 months ago to try and live in Acapulco. I actually do miss the snow a little bit sometimes. I wouldn't mind only a minute of winter for the sake of contrast/ just kidding no I wouldn't haha ;) Thanks for bringing me back!

Wow...enjoy Acapulco :) :) I'm glad you can appreciate the snow from a distance now!

Beautiful pictures! Also, I didn't realise that chickens were hardy enough to be wandering around in the snow! :D

They're badass #chickenbitchez! They fit right in with the snowmen!

I really hope it warms up soon, thoes poor chickens need some sun! ;))

Yeah, I can't believe how many eggs they lay, they're supposed to slow down in the winter due to lack of light, but not our gals!!

@lyndsaybowes amazing snow , and nice photos of snow, i feel so much coooooooooooool and thundering after seeing this snow photos and cold living hens are looking great,

Thank you @ailsamoon, I'm glad you liked the shots today!

its my pleasure @lyndsaybowes , i like your every post because your post always good and nice for me

The kids are having good fun and the snowmen looks cute. Your Icicles pictures have come out very nice. But I will never be able to live in such a cold place. I feel depressed with too much cold guess that's why I am in the middle east :)

Yes, you can enjoy the cold from a good distance :) xoxo

The Queen is my favourite! What breed is she? Soooo pretty 😍
Nice snow peeps there!! I must say, the mowhawks really make the look #badass. It looked like a perfect day!!

Queenie is my fave too haha, she's a leghorn mixed with Easter egger :)

The ice toupee on the snowman is incredible. It's nice to see a little melt for you. We are BASKING in balmy 50 F weather here at Toad Hall. It was so warm and sunny that yesterday @winstonalden and I even left the hermitage of our respective office/studio to actually drive into town! Gasp! There is an outside world peopled with living humans. I could not click on any of them and leave comments, though, how odd? ;)

I remember playing in the snow as a child. We'd never want to come in. I had one of those little block snow makers and would dilligently work on an igloo for days. I guess I loved houses, even made of snow, as a child too.

Chicken rugby is spot on. I do wish I could let my little guys out, but alas, Mr. Fox taught us that lesson with a dinner of two of my little blue hens. But, with this warmer weather, I am already planning a larger run for them. Come on SPRING!

Again, another letter of a comment. I'll just consider your comments section the post box that I leave letters in for you. :)

I could not click on any of them and leave comments, though, how odd? ;)

LOL!! Painted a really great image in my mind of you trying to click and comment on 'real life' hahaa!!

I think I saw you in the #walkwithme...I'm hoping I can click on your outside world later!

Get back into the house before you freeze to death. Ha
I know. You are very acclimated to it by now.
I hear a lot of hens singing in the video.
Happy hens.
Thank you

Francis

Aw, thanks for watching the video, I hope our little singers brought you a smile :) Hugs, Francis!

lyndsaybowes
Sometimes we are at the right place and the right time to say the right thing.
BIngo for you. You scored a perfect hit. Thank you so much.
I am down this evening and I really needed that hug.
Only on Steemit. Our very own lyndsaybowes.

Francis

Have two more hugs!! xoxoxoxxoxoxo :) Love you Mr!!

You are truly the "healer."
But, may I ask something of you? Please?
If you call me Mr (mister). That makes me feel so foreign to the moment.
If that is asking too much? Just call me (Mr Francis)
So sorry for my boldness. Please forgive me.
Thank you

Francis

@lyndsaybowes, The Queen & Mr. Pendock were really lovely here looks some romantic scene them. Pretty cute with different matching color. Icicles creating massive design styles to the natural background. Totally beauty. icicle mohawks pretty cute. Nice #walkwithme blogging.

Thank you so much for enjoying today's shots @madushanka!

Chicken rugby is my new favorite sport. That is too funny! Thank you for the video. 😁

Thank you for watching haha, it wasn't the most thrilling match, but so is life haha. How's your Ma doing today?

She's doing much better today. She actually asked me if I would go get her some CBD oil to try. I've been gently reminding her that cbd can help with arthritis pain without her feeling high, but she just wasnt ready I guess. I hope she finds some relief with it, I worry about all the narcotics they prescribe her. It can't be healthy. 😐

That's great news, I'm so happy to hear she's opened up to it!

Hiii @lyndsaybowes,

once again bundle of thanks for sharing amazing photographs of today #walkwithme. I want to say that for me it is walkwithyou. i love all these scenes,icicles, black and white chickens and a video is much interesting of "Winter Chicken Rugby." My daughter like this picture of snowman and saying that she want to play here with snow. That's realy so so cute scene with your kid pkaying with snowmen. Thanks.

Thank you so much for writing @rabeel, I appreciate your comments so much. I'm glad your daughter enjoyed their playing in the snow! I hope one day she will experience it too :)

Those snowmen are charming. They remind me of creatures from that anime Spirited Away.

Awww. I've never heard of that show before, but I bet they are cute!

Not a bad movie, actually. I'm not a fan of anime usually (or Disney) but it might be a nice one to watch with the kids. Here's a preview.

Awesome ❤ that first pic of icicles looked like a sinosaur to me! (Lol, i may gave just read dinosaur bedtime books to my newphews, Dinosaurs Roar! Nice calm bedtime story! They picked it!)

Alfalfa ❤❤❤ i think he's grown since the naming contest! Looks pretty slippery out there. It's like that here right now too.

Thanks for tge glimps of the ocean. Love that!! Peace 🌻😁

Awwwww... Sinosaurs.... <3 <3 That brought a smile to my face, so cute!!

Icarumba!! LOL silly android phone keyboard gives me so much grief :) that's a good one!!! AND, on another note it was so kind of you to nominate my post for a trophy 🏆 that was sooooo fun to recieve🎉 Thank-you 🎆

So much!!

Aww, you're very welcome!! YAY for #TrophyToken :) :) :)

Love that second photo. Man I'd love to have some chickens. A little eggloo coup would be perfect...sadly my backyard (and city bylaws) get in the way. Having fresh eggs would be aaaamaaaaazing. :)

Aw, I hope one day your bylaw is thrown in the garbage, self sufficiency should be allowed, anywhere!

When I see this I really feel like visiting my family in Canada! Such a winter paradise, it even looks better than pretty beaches! Especially the close ups of the Ice in the trees! It looks like in a movie!

I hope you can come for a visit soon! Where are you now, @xsasj? Somewhere tropical I assume!

I hope too! Snow would be cool after such a long time here in the Philippines. But here it looks beautiful too. I should not be complaining actually :p

Love,
Sha

Stunning beautiful icicles! Nature is the greatest artist. Thank you for capturing these photos to share with us. I like the line: I am God's gift to Hens. It makes me laugh so hard. Thank you. ;-)

The little snowman reminds me of the one in the Disney Frozen movie, Olaf - was it?

Totally love how Mr Pendock looks all high and mighty upon is harem...wishing him good luck with Queen:-D

Yea hahahha Olaf, the kids will get a kick out of it when I tell them what you said :) :) :) They'll be proud.

Thank you for supporting Mr. Pendock's manliness...<3 <3 He appreciates that you acknowledged it.

I love chicken rugby..

God is very good to His servant. You're so lucky. And you have made your life so useful. Salute to you for what you achieve and you achieve, this very success in dreaming.
I see every post you are so interesting, beautiful photos.

Whether shooting is your hobby ?

Yes, shooting photos is my hobby :) Thank you for liking the photos.

U'r welcome ...

Your hobby is very fun ... Hopefully I can be like you for the interesting posts later.

Thanks for the support !!!

I had this exact same sled as a kid.. I loved that thing

Yeah!! GT RACERS!! Everyone's bloodied up their nose hitting trees and shit with those things in the 80's. Brendan's parents actually held onto their GT's and passed 4 of them down to the boys. Made to last too hey?!

Really? Wow... I eventually broke mine while being pulled by the snowmobile on it

Hahaha. . . .. I am having a good laugh over Queen and Mr pendock's musings. You seem to understand their every move. And I am sure that is what is going on there.
Super fun for the kids playing with snow. I can see that they are back to shape. The trees are so beautiful wearing ice, it is really gorgeous out there, apart from the cold. Thank you again for sharing.
Ma, if you are not too busy, you can see my blog. Thank you so much.

I sure will go look, thanks for letting me know, I don't want to miss your posts <3

Amazing pictures. Very much enjoyed the walk with you through your pictures.

Thanks so much, I'm happy you enjoyed it @bowentroyer :)

I'm so jealous, in Phoenix we never get snow! I need to visit Canada one day!

You'd love it here by Halifax <3 It is just the right amount of snow and winter. Other parts of Canada are very harsh in the winter season.

cool video...very cool. thats what I need a gopro for when I go somewheres. Loved seeing my little Salty Dogs making snowmen. way to go. they are having so much fun. great pics all around once again

This is a really funny concept. Mohawk on snowmen, the football match. Amazing pictures anyway. I stomp on this post accidentally and it actually made me go back to seeing your previous "walk with me". Good works

Thank you very much. Perhaps one day you will take us on a walk with you?

Lol. I pray.

Stunning pictures and hardy plants. I wonder how long the snowmen will last!

The snowmen are still alive as of today :) :)

Cool! Well freezing I suppose ;)

wow , it's really cold , i can't survive in your place cause my place did not have winter . @lyndsaybowes

It would be very uncomfortable at first, but you would survive <3 <3

really , if have a cheap ticket i will go to there and see at the first time in my life , the snow . wow

This is so great i haven’t seen the snow in so long ! Thank you for sharing your walk :)

You're very welcome @dlunafx, I'm happy you enjoyed the snow.

yes ! perhaps this year I will be able to make it to a snowy space and make snow angels !

How amazing...
beautiful nature there, nice scenery and cool weather, snow has become a crystal, showing clean white and happy our eyes see it. eager to have such an environment .. ohh yea? your children can withstand that high enough cold? how many degrees celcius indeed @lyndsaybowes?

The coldest winter days here, it can reach -15. Average temperature for the whole winter is around -3 degrees celsius.

wahhy ... very cold ... we never felt it ... because there is no snow here

Haha! I loved the dialogue between a chicken and a rooster! It's so funny. Bravo. A great winter day. Your boys are so funny. They did a great job with this snowman.

Thanks, I'm glad I made you laugh :) :) I will tell the boys you thought their snowmen were great :) xo

Looks like a winter wonderland to me.

Hacketts Cove, I love that name. It sounds like a made for TV movie. Thanks for all the help that you have done for me. I appreciate it so much.

You're very welcome @cullyguy <3

We are in the process of getting 12 + inches tonight might be more like snow shoeing than a walk. From Michigan's upper peninsula.

like a happy family playing with snow, and a unique video, the cock is fat and can make the eyes completely entertained ..😅😅😅

LOL!

hahahaha .. really creative while enjoying the snow is so thick, the chicken is nice to see and very entertaining, we he indonesia no winter, sometimes we want to feel the winter season. get together with family. Some of us make artificial snow like in big cities. thank you for entertaining us with unique impressions

Thank you for enjoying these photos @azizpase :)

he thanks again ... 😊😊😊😊 an award has been willing to reply to my comments.

When I dream of a winter wonderland, this is what it looks like!! Well, it didn't include chickens but that's cool too 😉 it looks like a blast building snowmen. Let's swap for a day 😃
Beautiful photos and cute boys.

Just another fabulous #walkwithme by @lyndsaybowes!!! Your chicken commentary makes me laugh every time!! And the ice is simply whimsical!

Thank you very much for coming along again @schoonercreek!! xoxoxo I'm glad I could make you laugh!!
