Landscape

Today Douglas, Addy, Elias and Mason came up to play. Poor Addy and Mason became violently car sick before reaching our house - this seems to be part of any trip to our house. I hope we can think of some way to make future trips easier.

Elias and Mason spent an hour digging through the snow on the porch with some kitchen spoons, while Addy and Eloise went ice skating.

Later, Franz and MaCall joined the kids out front for sledding while Doug and I hiked back to the forest property behind the house to take photos for a potential painting. It was so beautiful back there! What a strange stark landscape with burned out trees, snow, dark, wet soil, streams and red robins pecking for worms. We also found a tire swing behind a hill that we had missed before.

Tomorrow the Jackman's come up. I will take Heidi back there. I think she will enjoy the surroundings and her camera.

Happy Valentines day!
