our world

See. . . . . I told you we have snow!

of course, it melts off within a few hours.

But still.

Snow?!

We have started going on picnics and exploring on the weekends.

This is a lake about 40 min.'s from our place.

It is spring fed, so the most amazing color, incredibly clear, and apparently very, very cold all year round.

There were people fishing who told us that. they also showed us the fish they caught. some nice sized, some huge. but the huge ones weren't for eating. they were old breeding fish from the hatchery nearby, which had been released when they became too old. they also had had their noses and tails cut off for some reason. very weird. we felt like we had stumbled upon some escaped mutants from a secret laboratory, like in a horror movie. There were even black globs all over the bushes, that are insect cocoon things. I guess soon, bugs will start coming out of them. we just needed some monster to rise up out of the lake, and it would have been complete.

We live very close to the Rocky mountains. When we lived on the coast, these are what I missed the most. The tree's, the snow, the fresh air, . . the mountains. It's nice to be back.

All the photo's were taken by hubby.
