Sunny Spring Turns on the Mothership

Last week the stars aligned for a fun, relatively low-key spring ski day with two long-time ski partners. Sun was forecast. We went to Mt Rainier - the Mothership of the Pacific Northwest. The turns were corn and the smiles were many.

The wonder of the woods, all over again

With each day, our daughter explores new territory.  Whether its the back corner of the closet in her room, or a new outdoor adventure, watching her expand her world view one moment at a time is sublime.   Her first backpacking trip to a Cascadian alpine lake tucked in amongst evergreens and autumn foliage yielded many of these.  There's always something else to discover around the next corner.  My hope is that her life journey never ceases to provide wonder about herself and the world in which we live.
