Jan. 14 - WINTER! Aaahhh....



We spent a very relaxing end of the week hanging out at the house...chatting away in English & laughing late into the night, enjoying snapps!  Sofie & Lars live in one of the family farm homes, made even more stunningly post-card Swedish by our first real snow! 



I thought we may not get enough snow for me to enjoy while in Sweden - it had been nearly 10º C some days - but my wish came true & we were able to head out to  a Nordic ski area in the woods near their home.  Cold felt really, truly wonderful!  I trudged through the woods for the entire time they were skiing - except for a little hot cocoa break with the kids!




 Axel was a pro on this fancy snow slide he got for Christmas!
Weak winter sun shining through tree trunks, pale yellow ball.  This photo was taken around 3:00 p.m..the sun never climbs all the way into the sky but scoots 30º or so above the horizon line in a nearly flat arc.
