My what a difference a month makes. The above picture is October 12 just after they cut down the old cottonwood tree that was blocking my view of the mountains. Below is yesterday, November 17. It snowed about another 6 inches today! So pretty and fluffy and light and bright and... early in the season so I'm still excited about snow.
When I was in Anchorage last month, I bought some second hand cross country skis. I tested them out tonight by sneaking up and down our road a few times. I'm pretty sure it's been about 30 years since I spent more than a few hours on cross country skis! When I was in grade school we had a whole bunch of them for snowy day gym class. It was quite a big deal teaching the kids of Capital School all about diagonal strides as we skidded around in a big circle on the playground. I'm certain I was more coordinated then. Practicing in the dark of night (or late afternoon) will make me as graceful as...as...

Great pics! The mental picture of you practicing your skiing in the middle of the night gave me a giggle.

WOW...what a view you have...and skis?
Yup, a pair of cross country skis especially for cruising the wide open space that's a golf links in the summer.
The stealth skiing was on our road right out front.
