We rarely get good snow, and it must be taken advantage of when it happens. I'm glad you were able to get out and hike in it and get those ice photos. I remember a few years ago Jess and I stopped at Multnomah Falls when it was mostly iced over. Oh, it was so breathtakingly gorgeous!<br /><br />I was jealous to hear you all had so much more snow than we did.

You do so inspire me and yet I can't seem to get going on this enjoying nature by walking.<br />Maybe when I get back to Minnesota.<br /><br />By the way, I read "Th End of Overeating" by David Kessler, which you recommended. The facts he gives about the food industry are horrifying. I'm so glad to b a vegetarian. I never go to a fast food chain. And when I go to a restaurant it's mostly salad with vinaigrette dressing that I order. Still I have weight to lose because of the beckoning refrigerator in the kitchen!<br /><br />I liked that photo of you. Happiness is there.<br /><br />Peace.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-86749637291877511932012-01-20T09:02:12.037-08:002012-01-20T09:02:12.037-08:00You are one hardy soul.

I would enjoy hiking in snow to enjoy the beauty of the scenery. I used to ski and I enjoyed the scenery as much as the skiing. That was before digital cameras so I regretted that I couldn't take pictures of some great panoramas. <br /><br />A dog with booties is certainly a Kodak moment but I miss a lot of good opportunities too.R.
