Snowy hike

Climbed up to the top snow gently falling … peaceful Charlie led the way.

Friday morning, before the 70 degree weekend melted most of the snow, Charlie and I joined 2 canine and 1 human friend for a snowy hike. It was a fun challenge with sunny skies and new dog in the mix. Charlie and Laine, the Springer Spaniel, ran and chased their usual dance, tiring each otherContinue reading “Three dogs and a trail”

Snow Romp

Charlie received a wonderful present for his eight month old celebration: SNOW! He’s 50 pounds of fun and silliness, still growing, and still providing an excellent amount of entertainment.

First snow of the season

Snow! I want to go out and play. Charlie loves playing in the snow!

Snowy Day Puppy

When you’re a puppy and only ten weeks old, everything is a learning experience. Today, with about six inches of snow, Charlie romped and ran making tracks in the forest. Sliding, rolling, and digging joyfully. The only one enjoying it more than Charlie – me watching him. He’s the perfect combination of agile and clumsy;Continue reading “Snowy Day Puppy”

Spring Skiing Views (poetry)

Clouds dance cheek to cheek with the continental divide Creating vibrant views best enjoyed from the top of the mountain. Long ski runs surrounded by pines with gentle whooshing sounds glistening in the afternoon sun.

Snow in the forest

Following a 70 degree day on Saturday, yesterday brought thunder snow to the area. From the warmth of the house, we watched the snow fall and pile up. “It’s like being in a snow globe.” And now, the morning after, we have the peaceful beauty of snow laden trees under the bluebird sky.
