Goodbye Snow

This past Saturday a group of young adults and even some offspring went out the Wapsi River Environmental Education Center for some fun snowshoeing and animal tracking.

The more hectic my days become, the more committments during the day and night, the more often I crave escaping to the woods for snowshoeing, skiing, or hiking. There's something important about renewal in the great outdoors. When I was a kid, a usual part of life was playing outside after school, iceskating with dad on Saturdays, or playing tennis every day all summer long. It can be a trick for me to be outside during daylight at all, especially during the short days of winter. But surely, every day in the sunshine or even under overcast skies is a good day for renewal and refreshment.
