@ G'ma's old place...

This year - possibly for the first time ever, we used the east tobogganning hill - pictured here off beyond the outbuildings...
The run began at the highest point on the right, past where the guys are making a trail for us and ended out of the picture on the left, down on the river.
What a ride it was!
Especially after U. Glen brought out the Kubota and in true red-neck fashion we had a banked shute as part of the tobaggan run and we flew!

There's a few things that'll always make me thing of Gma's and NWO...this is one...

...this is another, curly pine bark...
...and this 'ol log cabin where Gpa, Gma & Dad lived when they first lived/farmed here...

Just appreciating the details of it...

Must have been more than a little drafty in the winter!

Tulips make it feel like Spring...

Once a month this winter I recommend buying a couple bunches of tulips...




They're simply awesome!



Mild winter or not...

...I prefer warmth, sunshine...
...palm trees...

And flowers!!!

Ah, Anaheim CA - my work trip wasn't nearly long enough!
