OK, so I didn't make it to church today - honestly, I wasn't trying very hard - but I spent a good 2-1/2 hours playing outside in my snowshoes, to a soundtrack (on shuffle) of Christmas music, upbeat dance tunes, and contemporary worship songs.
This was time spent with angels:
and families:
Mostly I just marveled at the beauty all around me in fresh-fallen snow and let joy and wonder fill my heart as I tromped up and down hill, through forest and meadow, making fresh tracks.
In this low-resolution photo, you can't see the graffiti carved into the bark (it says "PATRIOTS"): A cross-country skier pointed out a pair of cardinals, so I hung around for a while to watch them and their friends:
A quick video:
The pond was partly frozen:
Once again, the waterfowl pay no attention to the "DANGER THIN ICE" signs that are only there for their own good:
This boy clearly got stuck in the Imagination Playground. I hope his dog can save him.
A few pets who really enjoy the cold: Ah, dragons!! A few of the dogs I saw out in the snow were having a truly amazing time, leaping about like mad. So cute!
