What a gorgeous day for a walk in the park and a visit to the beach .... hot and sunny!
Okay, okay, maybe it was just sunny and not too warm. In any case, it was a 
wonderful day for a walk with one's sweetie. Especially since he had enough energy to go for a walk with me.So we cruised through the backyard (also known as Beacon Hill Park) to check out the ducks in the pond.
Most of the fountains were working well, but upon close inspection you can see some had their challenges with the frosty weather.
Others still had created beautiful sculptures made of ice.
While some sculptures were large and awesome, others ice creations were on the small side, but nonetheless amazing.
Oh, and just to prove it really was sunny and warm, here is a photo of the peacock we found sunning itself in our backyard garden.
Not bad for the first day of the year, eh! We came home tired, made some of Pete's famous corn chowder, and sat down for lunch with a bowl each. Then later I made up a rather large batch of filling for Turkey Pot Pie ... my new favourite way to finish up the last of the turkey leftovers. All good.

Every once in a while you need a reminder of the unpredictability of a Canadian winter ;-)
The turkey pot pie... How much pot do you use?
