Winter Wonderland



Sunday morning Tito woke up and just knew: "Today we'll go skiing!" And as usual Tito was quite right. Spending 20 minutes to get dressed (as one truly needs in a cold place like Willowlandia) the skiers were ready. Driving for a while, they reached their starting point - the forest surrounding the city. As it happened to be a Sunday morning, Tito and Willow weren't the only ones having thought the day perfect for skiing. The forest was full of children, youths, adults, grandparents and dogs skiing at their own phase while enjoying the fine day and the excellent skiing conditions. (The dogs did naturally not wear skis, if anyone thought so.) Skiing for quite some time the couple made it to a small cabin. There was smoke coming up from the chimney and outside very many pairs of skis were stacked. Inside there were a lot of people relaxing with a cup of coffee, waffles with brown cheese, buns and cinnamon rolls.

The rest was well deserved and the hot chocolate had probably never tasted so good. It also gave good energy for returning to the starting point. Tito and Willow were left with a feeling of well-being having accomplished a great day with physic exercise and the internal peace that the forest always gives the people visiting it stayed with them.

I was a little worried about the dogs on skis! The cabin full of godies to eat and drink sounds good; tonight I shall ask my husband about brown cheese.

Your picture is beautiful. And skiing sounds good. We didn't get much snow here in SE Pennsylvania this year, and I haven't been skiing.
