If only I'd brought a camera!
I left a sweetheart behind, and rejoined the family relaxed and happy.I stay put here in the northeast; big snowstorm coming through. I do hope this gives me time to join you all!
have a joyful evening !

Checking In
Very, very tired. Today was busy but less chaotic than I'd anticipated at my family homestead. The only free time I had, I chose to use hiking by myself on a snowy rail trail north of town. Only three other souls crazy enough to be out. It was so enchanting! A frozen snowman, two big balls high, greeted me about a mile in. Branches stuck out for arms in a grand hug, so this fellow must have been handsome when he was born. Last weekend's freezing rain had taken its toll. A frozen lump remained where its maker had created a face. A nose? I collected two long-needle pine sprays, and using a stiff branch as an ice pick, wedged these fancy eyelashes into its face.

It sound idyllic! I need to get out to The Farm and do a bit of woods walking myself. Maybe next week. Hope all is going well with your Dad and siblings.
ReplyDeleteIsn't walking in the woods heavenly? I needed a break from a stressful discussion - what my Dad wants on his 'last' visit to the ER (he has the DNR on his fridge but needs another legal document once he is on hospital grounds). My siblings and I realized we needed to cover this base, or else dad may end up with tubes attached in a hospital bed! Our family is pretty shy about 'deeper' topics. and I'm not, so I volunteered. Form's all filled out now! Dad is quite pleased he can have this degree of control once he's in the hospital.
DeleteWhen I first read this I thought you meant the snowman had two big balls, not that he was made with two big balls. LOL I'll bet those eye lashes really added an appropriately silly look to the guy.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha, ha. I like your first interpretation! I had to reread my post - just to be sure : -)
