A Spring Ramble

Well, it's not really spring, of course. But looking at the sky yesterday, I could make believe that it was!
I wanted to get as high as I could, towards that warm blue sky.
Though the temperature was far from matching it. . .=)
And so we headed up the mountain. Here's what my lens brought home with us.
Ellen kept sliding down mountains - I guess she didn't share my urge to go up. =)
She's the little dark shape just behind that fallen log, her sled leaving a trail that a blind man could follow with ease. . .
Dreaming of warm summer skies. . . Yesterday's was a brilliant preview!
And just above our elevation, the snow still reigns in all it's sparkling glory
Between that blue mountain range and the hill in the foreground lies a two thousand foot deep lake.
At last - we reach the summit!
Our lengthened shadows wending homeward.
Happy Trails, y'all!

That looks like fun=) Love the picture of Tilda and the one of you, Tilda and Ellen at the top.
I love hiking in the snow but haven't done much this year because of Bonnie's knee. It's no fun without my faithful companion:(
And I'm slightly paranoid about wolves at the moment, even with my trusty bear spray and flashlight;)
HTSYS!

We brought two trusty dogs, plus Aubrey, so we felt quite safe;) I know, I'm slightly paranoid about wolves, too - ever since Ellen and I went riding that one time and saw fresh wolf tracks on top of our horses' tracks on the way home. . . *Shudder*
I'm so sorry you can't take Bonnie out with you for such a long time! It must be so lonely to do the chores without her... I'll pray that you won't ever have need of your bear spray - only your flashlight;)
Ditto here!

How lovely! Thank you for sharing, Kellie!
Your hairstyle is SO loveyl and old-fashion. Do you mind if I ask how you twist it?
Many Blessings,

Grace,
This hairstyle is deceptively simple! All I did was make a plain braid, wrap it around my head, and tuck the end into the hair on the other side of my head, just behind the ear. Then I used four clips to keep it all in place. On the way out the door, I grabbed an old, dejected silk rose and tucked in under one of the clips, just for fun. =)
Of course, it depends on the length of your hair as to how far around your head the braid will extend - mine is just shy of tailbone length ("Classic length" being the more elegant term;) and this is how far it went.
Have a lovely evening!

Say, I recognize that scarf/hood. ;-) So cute! Love your hair, too. Thanks for sharing how to do it; I may try it sometime...Lord willing my hair will grow that long (it's currently waist-length).
That picture of the snow-covered trees is GORGEOUS! Simply...majestic...etheral...bah. Words fail me.
God bless,

Hi Kellie!
Abbie here :) I just had to drop a little note to say:
1.) These pictures are stunningly beautiful! I loved scrolling through them.
2.) I just think this is funny: we sell the Mary Jane's Farm bedding line (really cute comforters, pillows, window treatments, etc.) at the store I work at, Belk - a line of department stores waaaay down here in the south.
Just thought that was a charming coincidence :)

Hi there, Abbie!
Thank you so much for dropping a little note! I love those=)
1.) Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed them.
2.) Aren't Mary Jane's designs darling? I was just down to her boutique store, which happens to be in Couer d' Alene, and I saw them for the first time. And I noticed online, that she resells them through Belk. And, I recognized the name as the department store where you work ;) Tis a charming coincidence indeed.
