At the Top

A splendid day in the snow! Mr S strapped on his brand new red snowshoes and I chose my trusty trail skis and off we went through a forest, up and down hills, and in and out of spectacular views. After lunch we did an easier loop around a very fine meadow, altogether close to seven miles. Yup, I'm a little tired.

The cabin we are staying in has a rustic deck overlooking a small pond that looks like it's fed from snowmelt. Water runs into a tiny creek that borders the road, making a constant low murmur. We are in an aspen grove--elegant trees with all-seeing all-knowing eyes. It's spring, even at this elevation--tiny emerging leaves, birds singing everywhere, and countless little bugs running across the snow.
