In the Land of White Tundra

[wolfcat]

Phew! I felt relieved and excited to get home from Cuba and find I didn’t miss the rest of winter. White fluffy cold stuff was still surrounding my Minnesota home. There would still be time to catch snowflakes on my tongue, time to go sledding, time for laying on my back and taking in the night sky, time for bundling up and sitting out a snowstorm pondering why humans lost their body hair. Ah yes, still time for strapping skis on my feet and once again being struck with the absurdity of human ingenuity, time to be hurried out of the house drippy wet from a shower and within a minute have a full head of icicles.

And while sometimes I would like to make like a beaver and snuggle up all winter inside a cozy lodge, I have more fun when I push myself out into the elements. Here are some of my favorite winter moments. I’ll harvest these memories and do it all again next year.

The days are getting longer, and soon the earth here in Minnesota will be filled with little green surprises, a birthday celebration to be had for each returning wildflower.

Until then stay warm strange furless beings!,

Welcome back! Glad you didn't miss all the snow! I had some great xc skiing excursions here in Minnesota this winter. Now I've got Spring fever :) I'm hosting a selfie contest to celebrate my first 500 followers and I'd love to see a furry face if you feel inspired to enter a wolfcat shot. I'm having so much fun seeing people's personalities come out in the comments! Toodle-oo!

Very cool photos!
I immediately wanted to go there.

All of that snow still lingers on when here it is April and it's not just showers, it's snow. I thought the saying is April showers bring May flowers. What does snow bring? Love your pics...stay warm till spring finally arrives!
