Deep Snow, Deep Winter

I spent the last three days camping with friends up on the Arapaho National Forest.

I have done a little deep-winter camping before, but never before on skis with a sled.

I learned that my sleeping bag is not really warm enough for -18 F. (-27 C.) nights. Must remedy that.

Even after that short time, it is hard to make the transition back to the writing life. And things like Facebook--or even blogging--seem so trivial.

But I am developing some new blog posts, so check back after a couple of days.

A Foot of Fresh Powder

Finally some snow, enough to ski on our road and the meadow.

"The Growing Darkness"

Cat Chapin-Bishop's blog post on "The Dark" justifies my desire to nap on a dark snowy afternoon.
