Life gets busy

I know I've said it before, but I love January. I seem to step away from the computer in the first month of the year with the desire to get out and try something new.

Last week our horrible weather gave us a break from the relentless wind and rain. The sun came out and the mercury dipped to a chilly temp of around -5c. I actually love it when it is like this. Anything is better than the constant grey wet gloom we have been getting since the beginning of November.

My husband and I headed for the hills last week for a wonderful afternoon on snowshoes. The views were breathtaking at our local ski hill. It was so nice that the next day we let our son skip school and went snowboarding/skiing. This week I think we might give cross country skiing a try. I love being outside and it feels so good to be in the fresh winter air.

Hockey has been a time consuming sport this winter. I had no idea how much I was going to enjoy being a hockey mom. My son's team won their tournament last weekend and it was so much fun to watch. A lot of nailbiting excitement!

I have been taking a break from my digital camera lately and shooting more film. Hence the infrequent postings. There is just something about film that I love. It feels good to slow down and really think about my shots.

As for taking time to do this puzzle.....I tried, really I did.
