Hope you all had a relaxing holiday break and enjoyed whatever variety of feast you sat down to.
We headed to the river and supped on cheese, slices of smoked meat, and chunks of bread.
November ended on a cold note.
Our week started snowy, shifted into a warming trend . . . just enough to create a layer of ice. And then came the freeze.
By week’s end it got clear and cold, really cold . . . like 15 degrees.
Roads were clear, so we headed up to the Crooked for holiday break. Turned out to be a bit too cold to stand in the river for any length of time.
But the day was blue-sky gorgeous. Brewed up a cup of cocoa and enjoyed watching flocks of birds swoop from stream to tree.
We’ll move through December avoiding the ‘buy now’ push, bake some cookies and enjoy our fireplace.
Winter fishing has a different pace as well.
Can’t let the corporate pitchman’s babble take up any more space in our day . . . get outdoors and breathe in fresh air is now our winter mantra.
