finally winter

i love the snow, and thus the winter

and (besides the annual Riley trip to Colorado) i haven't had too much of a winter

but the past week Haynes and i have seen snow in the beautiful Sierra Nevadas

first in the meadows and giant forests of Kings Canyon and Sequoia and now at Lake Tahoe

we are here next to the fire in the house of some friends and did some great skiing together

i love the snow
