Tossing Pebbles in the Stream

This blog is my place to sit and toss pebbles into the stream. The stream of Life relentlessly passing before us. We can affect it little. For the most part I just watch it passing and follow the flow. Occasionally, I need to comment on its passing, tossing a pebble at it to enjoy the ripple affect upon Life's surface.

An Early Winter

We have had the second significant snowfall already this season. Now it has turned cold (-15C last night) It seems Winter has set in early this year. The beauty of the snow is always a joy to behold.

Heidi went for a run without me. She has not learned the fun of plunging into the deep snow as Gage used to do.

The show that fell was quite wet. With the drop in temperature it has firmed up and will make snowshoeing possible.

I had to send in the check and reservation for our son's ski club trips this week. They all love to strap those boards on their feet and come flying down mountains. I love to sit in the ski lodge, drink hot cocoa and read a good book!

Snicker. It is really amusing the level of panic here when the S word is in the weather report! Of course, I have my gallon of milk, 3 loaves of bread and 6 gallons of water - so I can snicker! Plus, I still have my hurricane stash.
But seriously, it is beautiful. And I do appreciate your pictures. Much prettier than my brown grass!

No snow to speak of here yet. Weird.

Take care while snowshoeing. It is something I've always wanted to try.

Take care and enjoy your weekend. I'm going to check out the posts here that I've missed.

Blessings,
Mary

Happy Holidays!

At 1:03 p.m., Janet said...: Those are beautiful photos. I hope you aren't tired of it before it's all over with. Snowshoeing has always been something I've wanted to try, but we never get nearly enough snow for that.
