Fresh, White, and Slippery!

IMG_20150204_112235753_HDRI haven’t been on a pair of skis in 30 years!  And on that first (and only) other occasion I fell and broke my ski pole just minutes out of the rental shack.  I remember little else about the event, other than being terrified of the hills!  So it was with some trepidation that I rented a pair of skis yesterday and hit the trails with Jim…

After two hours we quit for lunch, but we’re hooked… We were back to watch the evening fall and the night course light up…

When in snow country, do what the snow country people do!  And now we’re in no rush for spring to come.  We have to learn to ski first!

Defying forecasts of rain, a hush of snow was falling as we woke this morning……P1160983

Snow is not only fresh, white and slippery,  it is beautiful!

The miles were covered without event and we are freshly settled in our new nest-for-now.

Here is the view from my window…

P1160957You’ve got to love the tenacious grip of an oak…I must have its sap in my bloodstream.  I cling to the old too.P1160960

P1160959It is as though we’ve stepped back a season, into our own Narnia, back to winter and to snow. just when snowdrops would be pushing their way up back on the coast…

But every place has a beauty of its own.

So here we are to embrace a new season of life and see what God shall have for us in this new place…

And it is good.
