Another attempt at this blog business, though no one except Laura or Peter would know that. Today was the first day it really felt as though winter was on its way. A brief glance out the window this afternoon resulted in a sudden pang of excitement (its going to snow soon) and sadness (summer is definitely over and by the looks of it, fall is near to done too). The mountains were more than dusted, the snowline now nearing the houses on the highest-up bits of hillside. In honor of the changing of the season, here's a photo from the summer highlight trip to Yellowknife/Great Slave Lake. I have no idea actually where this was taken, somewhere along the Alcan between Ft. Nelson and Whitehorse (yes, that really narrows it down, doesn't it?)
As always, I'm hoping to accomplish a lot this winter and so I'm publishing the list here, so that all you readers can hold me to it.
1) Ski at least 2 times a week (as long as snow conditions allow), either classic or skate
2) Do the Tour! I will minimally do the 25k, but ideally I'll do the whole thing, classic or skate
3) Put in at least 2 hours a week at the loom
4) Do at least one cabin trip
5) Finish a knitting project or two before I start any new ones
6) Plan the darn wedding
7) Start writing letters to friends again
8) Eat all the fruits and vegetables in our box every week
I know that I will have more but that's a start. Its sort of like my New Year's resolutions, but I guess I prefer to make Equinox resolutions (look for the next set come March).
Peter went to Homer for a few days for work so I'm going to watch a movie now with Jackson, the as-of-late incontinent, on one side, and Mason, he who desperately wants to be walked, on the other. Asia, fat cat, will no doubt nap on my lap.
Cheers for now.
