Here’s my jubilant little crooked lopsided bow-legged self out there in Blissland having NO problems skiing with my friend. (Yay foot!!!) We’ve talked about it for at least two years, but various problems kept it from happening. The snow was perfect — slick and fast. It’s been below freezing since it fell which means beautiful, perfect, snow. ❤
Replete, of course, by fox and rabbit tracks…
I have nothing more to say other than I’m VERY happy and looking forward to more adventures as the winter progresses, god willing and I’m not ambushed again by a perfectly flat harmless grassy trail.
P.S. It seems that anyone who wants to know what my dad looked like can pretty much see from looking at me. Ah, DNA

Brilliant!
Yes! 🙂
😊
Good lord! Look at that smile. You are having a great time. Aren’t you? Have a nice weekend.
The best time. You have a nice weekend, too.
You know, sometimes I want to write you something small in Chinese, but I don’t have the keyboard. Once I saw one of Li Bai’s poems (that I know) on your blog. Where are you? If you are in China, please tell it hello for me and that I will never, ever forget it or all the kindness I experienced so long ago when I was teaching there. ❤
Thank you. You are very sweet. No, I am not from China but I am glad that you have a good impression of the country and experienced some good times there. Please feel free to drop me a note whenever you like. 🌹
I will. 🙂
“Blissland” – love it! Glad your foot cooperated. Let the ski season begin! Enjoyed my own Blissland today, first xc ski of the season with my Malamute Conall for company. (We have a wonderful dog-friendly/dogs-off-leash groomed area here.) Our snow isn’t as perfect as yours, but it’ll do for December 🙂
This magic snow will be turned into melt and refreeze tomorrow so I had to seize the day! 🙂
Happy dance, Martha–me, not you! You look great!
No, I did my happy dance out there in Blissland. ❤
Oh, hurray! You’ve finally done it! That looks like perfect snow (any snow that hasn’t been spoiled by footprints is perfect in my view), and I’m so glad you were able to get out and enjoy it.
Thank you! Most of the footprints on the snow were animal tracks, so that was great. We had a wonderful time. 🙂
You do look like you are in your element! So glad the foot and the weather cooperated for your long anticipated outing.
Thank you! It was perfect. ❤
Wonderful!
Oh Martha, I’m so envious – it all looks so beautiful in your part of the world! It’s just pouring with rain all the time here – dull and wet with floods all over the place. It’s nice to see that someone is getting some proper festive weather. Enjoy it for me! 🙂
I will, Alli! ❤
❤
beautiful…what we did get melted….I would love more.
I hope you get more! 🙂 We have it in the forecast Tuesday, but between two rain shadows, it’s always iffy.
I would like more but it doesn’t seem to be in the cards for us. Rain near the end of the week.
Rats. 😦 ❤
Agreed.
Pretty dang awesome, Martha! woooot
❤
