Well, it's that time again. I changed the look of my blog. This time the change was inspired partly by the restless knowledge that it had been the same for a rather unprecedented amount of time for me, and partially because I'm trying to remotivate myself for posting here. One thing that might help with this second goal is the new toy Brian and I recently treated ourselves to.
It's a Canon Rebel - digital SLR. Something I've sort of wanted for a very long time. So, I'm excited to mess around and see what I can do. I'll be subjecting my readers to frequent snapshots, I fear.
Here in Iowa we are currently experiencing a blizzard. That's what the weather reports tell us, anyway. It snowed all night, and this morning I took our new camera out of doors and tromped around in the drifts, attempting to get some images that captured the early-morning-not-quite-light-winter-snowy-beauty.
Then I came back indoors and pulled some scones out of the oven.
It was a pretty good first ski for me. My lovely husband had thoroughly waxed my skis, so they were nice and slick. The snow cover was good. The course was well-traveled. I had a fun time and actually felt quite solid despite not having been on skis for so many months.
Although I am not nearly as fast as Brian, I am excited to get out there again in the near future.
