A soft, quiet snow was falling as we looked out our front windows this morning. When we returned home from church, Kevin pulled his "Wellies" on went out to plow out the driveway and clear the walks. But he didn't mind. For one, he loves being outdoors; and for another, this was his first opportunity to try out his new cross country equipment at MacBride....and he seized the opportunity!
(Of course, the city came by with it's big plow after Kevin finished clearing the driveway. Can't use the snowblower on that stuff because it's so compact. Had to get out the snow shovel.)
First time out on the trail....
Oh yah...these new skis are fast!
Looking down one of the ski trails.
A good hour of fun and exercise and fresh air! And I had just as much fun...walking and taking lots of photos. Saw many people skiing, but only one other photographer, and he was toting his tripod over his shoulder. It was nice to run into someone else who had an artistic appreciation of the fresh snowfall.
Here is the Christmas "gift" to Mom and Maynard from us kids...Her name is Joyce and she is a very sweet lady. Thanks, Joyce!

Penni, the snow is beautiful but I still do NOT miss it. :o)
Love you,

I have LOVED this snow! everything is so fluffy and beautiful. It's like all of nature has gone to sleep for a while and will wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed in a few months. I am NOT negative about the beautiful seasonal changes like SOMEONE i know (hint:his name starts with j, and ends in -esse)
anyway, we were wondering if kevin would get to use his cross country skiis. we someone else using their and thought of him.
still don't know when jesse sings in february, probably 2 of the 4 he will sing/play. one might be your anniversary weekend . . . so i'll keep in touch.
love you!
