After things have finally thawed I took a tour to the beach. The water level was lower than the years before. It looks really promising for this summer – something we can all use after the long winter. Now all we need is decent weather – some more sun. Maybe Read more…
Looking out my front door this morning I finally understood why the willows and cedars I planted last year don’t seem to grow and hardly have any new shoots this spring.
There was this full sized deer nibbling away at the fresh leaves of the young willows.
The Beach is still there and if the sun were shining it would be really inviting.
The water ist absolutely freezing though. The ice just came off a bit over a week ago.
Took the time to spend a bit over an hour at the beach with Duane and his kids
To be honest, it was the only beach day this year.
The perfect weather we’ve been having for the past few days has brought – it seems – everybody and their relatives to Hillside Beach. Cars Parked on the side roads for about a mile.

This year a playground has been installed, and we are hoping to go even further in the next few years with sports grounds and climbing equipment, culminating in an all-weather shelter so families can enjoy the area and events can be planned in the park no matter the weather! This is a welcome addition
The extreem Windchill warning for our area continues. The only consolation is that we have far more snow on the ground than Winnipeg. All you snowmobilers out there. Take your vehicles up to the Lake!
Environment Canada has issued an extreem Windchill and Severe Weather Warning for the Grand Beach area for tonight and Sunday!
I also like Winter though. I guess you have to, if you want to spend any kind of time in Manitoba.
I made a few pictures of Winter in Hillside Beach, so you can maybe understand why I like it.
I was surprised to see the first people ice fishing on the Red River just past Selkirk Manitoba. I hadn’t thought that the ice was thick enough yet.

The South Beach Casino is famous across Manitoba for its clean atmosphere and now for the neu luxurious hotel beside it. It is situated on the Broken Head Reserve in Scanterbury along Hwy 59.
Some pictures.
It is supposed to be 672 acres near Victoria Beach.
Does anybody know more?
For tonight there has been a Green-thumb alert, a frost warning, for parts of Manitoba.
This will probably not affect the beaches area due to warmth from the Lake, but if you have sensitive plants you might want to prepare none the less.
