This is what 620 Bluff looked like when we returned from Lithuania on March 1. And today, on March 19, it still looks the same - but I have taken down the Christmas wreath.
Although our neighbors are fed up with winter - understandably - since I missed out on three months of shoveling, it's been kind of fun to get a taste of late winter in Wisconsin.
And not just shoveling. About twenty miles west of us, in the Kettle Moraine State Forest, there's a fantastic area for cross-country skiing - and I've been lucky enough to get in on a couple days of skiing right at the end of the ski season.
I'm a slow "classic" skier - not a skate skier. My brother and I have occasionally vowed to learn to skate ski, and maybe we will, but in the meantime the classic pace is really nice for enjoying the ride,
for wondering about fellow travelers,
and for enjoying serendipitous symmetries.
My theme song - just need some words and music.
Thank you for reading post no. 1 of blog no. 2. Not much, but it's a start.
