Chuck's photo corner to March 8, 2026

It's starting to melt here in Cardinal. Time for a new season. I'll be starting seedlings in a week or two.

The big event of the past week was attending the Guards ball in downtown Ottawa at the Chateau Laurier Hotel.
 

On our way to the Ball

A clock behind the front desk at the hotel

Shopping for a few final outfit things

My old friend Joe, architect of the Ball

Rachelle and I

Well here I am, all dolled up

 

Joe gave me a pair of cufflinks in thanks for my support of him over the years.

The main course cooked to perfection

Corsages are not a thing these days we found out.

Desert with gold flake, very tasty.

The ball room and dining room before the meal

Full house.

Time for more wood in the house.

 

uncovering the wood pile as temps slowly climb above freezing.

The snow on the ground is so high the squirrel can now jump up to the feeders

The mountain stream before it got warm.

Enjoy the Day
