We are officially on our two week winter break. Usually school weeks that cusp a vacation are stressful and exhausting but, this one wasn't. My students finished strong and at the end of Friday, there was a winter concert in the gym.
I also got to skiing with BC on one of the best powder days I have ever encountered on Mt. Hood. The powder was light and I took advantage of fresh tracks on each run. A remarkable day that left me yelling "I LOVE my life" in a secluded powdered valley. I have never experienced such solitude skiing on a resort mountain. To top it off, friendly birds flew over us while eating our lunch. Accustomed to the white man's riches, the birds ate out of our hands and approached my sandwich with mild force. Check out the video for more.
Home life is going well too. Our house is warmed by the wood stove nightly and it is comfortable. Buddy has been taking some solo treks, which worries us and makes us late for work sometimes. We really to need to build a fence for Buddy and the chickens. The girls are getting big and have almost grown complete combs and wattles.
I anticipate a visit from my brother Hans on the 23rd and more powder skiing.
