We have had more than our fair share of snow this winter and with the temperatures not getting above 29, the snow isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
I took this picture on my morning walk. The snow is pretty to look at, but not so fun to drive in, walk in or be cold in.
It was 4 degrees on my walk this morning.
Last Saturday, Tom and I headed for the hills and went cross country skiing up in Garden Valley. It was a beautiful blue sky day, but it was a very cold 15 degrees.
Once we got skiing though you didn't even notice the cold
After cross country skiing, Tom booked a sleigh ride.
It was so cold, but we bundled up and away we went.
We really were dashing through the snow, in a 3 horse open sleigh.
I felt bad for the poor horses but they didn't seem to mind. It was really fun.
It was a beautiful drive back to Boise. I made Tom stop so I could take these pictures.
We stopped for dinner in Horse Shoe Bend on our way back to Boise and had some good comfort food. We were still pretty cold.
I can't wait for our next snow adventure.

You lucky! I've always wanted to ride in a one horse open sleigh. Hey! I gotta know- Did you sing the song as you went. You can be sure I would have! Your pictures are so beautiful.
Do you have photoshop? You really should x out the porta pottys in that picture at the top. Then it would be the perfect winter picture. Those johns just kind of ruin it for me.
What a fun outing! You are so good to brave the cold and do what you want! (I have to agree with Kay about those darn porta pottys -they do not add to the winter wonderland perfect photo background). I guess that is just kind of symbolic of life - it is such a mix of beauty and beast - toilets and wonderlands. Well enough comparisons - I had better quit before I say words I shouldn't!
Okay, I fixed the picture. No more making fun of the outhouses.
Wait, I didn't get to see the outhouses! Your adventure sounds wonderful. You guys never seem to lack for things to do. Well done.
