There's something magical about snow covered grounds, I've loved them since I was little. Granted a big part of growing up in VA is with a mere 1 in of snow either equals a 2 hour delay or no school for the day :) I remember during the winters going to bed every night wishing the next morning I'd wake up to fresh fallen snow. My friends and I would plan after school, <<don't forget before you go to bed 1)turn your PJ's inside out 2)do the snow dance>>. Moving out west normal amounts of snowfall were what my child self would've considered a blizzard!
As we've started spending more and more time in Southeast UT, it has grown to be one of my favorite places to spend winters as well. The blend of red and green with an added white element resulting in new methods for exploring the country.
Finding the perfect tree is no easy feat! Randall's mean business in their search...everyone spreads out and calls out when they think they've found THE tree. It typically goes like this, first the call <<I've found one, I've found one!!!>> Then, everyone rushes over...<<no, there's a bald spot--how about this one?!>>... <<uh that one's too fat--how about this one?>>....<<maybe if we cut off the top half?!>> Then finally after all the funning around Dustin's dad didn't even ask he just cut one down and declared our tree for the year. It turned out to be perfect, as it always is, and a great reminder here's the poem D wrote for the season
<<Year around it holds its ground,Merry Merry Christmas!
The color of an evergreen tree.
A simple sign to keep in mind,
That Christ was born to set us free.>>
There's no better way to roam than by clinking chain and knobby treads cruising through rock and dirt. There's always more to explore in this country, further distances to be travelled, and it's never short of an epic view. Like my childhood reads of Cam Jansen I just want to say "click" and hope my photographic memory keeps the view in my mind forever, ha I wish...thank goodness for cameras right?!
