Linda hadn't skied at Wasatch Mountain, and I really like it. It's relatively flat because it is on the golf course, but it is still beautiful, with trees and ponds and wildlife. Even though it had been snowing earlier, the clouds parted, the sun came out, and it wasn't too cold. The trail was freshly groomed, there was hardly anyone else there, and Linda and I felt like we had the whole area to ourselves as we skied a four mile loop. I'm not sure how it could have been nicer. It was absolutely glorious.
Linda bought some little mice dolls a while back, and she has been taking them on all her outings, then posing them doing the same thing. She brought them along and we set them to ski. Mid ski, we took off our skis, fabricated reed skis for the mice, posed them, then Linda took some great pictures. I laughed at her getting down on her belly to get a good shot, but it was fun to have them participate.
We went to lunch after our exercise and just had a marvelous morning talking and embracing the winter. If it's going to snow, I figure I might as well enjoy it. Downhill skiing is not for me, but Nordic skiing certainly is. I hope to get out a couple more times before the season ends.
Come all and find peace and rest in the arms of the mighty Wasatch range. Listen to the song of the pines and the lullaby of the streams. The everlasting beauty of God's great out of doors belongs to you.Amen!
