A Woodsy Ramble



Two weeks ago we went for a walk in a foot of snow. There was no trace of snow today in the woods. This time we hiked up alongside Nile Creek, about 20 minutes north on the highway. 

The hike was rugged, muddy, a bit drizzly, but oh, so beautiful. Refreshment for the soul. Rushing water, moss dripping from branches, lush ferns and invigorating woodsy smells.

I'm linking to Mosaic Monday, hosted by Mary of the Little Red House.

  2. Lorrie you are truly in God's country. What I admire about you and your husband is that you get out and enjoy nature so often. This collage reminds me of our hikes when we lived in Campbell River.

  10. Hi Grandma,
    Don't you just love the sound of that word? Obviously I have missed so much in the last couple months. Many congrats to you.
    Lorrie, your tutorials are wonderful. I may have to try that necklace.
    The heart header is terrific. It is just so cheerful.
    Thank you for your kind words on Jeff's surgery. He is in God's hands and I know all is well.

    Happy new year.
    xoxo,

Thank you for your comment. I read and value each one, cherishing the connections we can make although far apart. Usually, I visit your blog in return, although if you ask a question I try to contact you directly.
