I seem to step away from the computer in the first month of the year with the desire to get out and try something new.</div><div> </div><div>Last week our horrible weather gave us a break from the relentless wind and rain. The sun came out and the mercury dipped to a chilly temp of around -5c. I actually love it when it is like this. Anything is better than the constant grey wet gloom we have been getting since the beginning of November.</div><div> </div><div>My husband and I headed for the hills last week for a wonderful afternoon on snowshoes. The views were breathtaking at our local ski hill. It was so nice that the next day we let our son skip school and went snowboarding/skiing. This week I think we might give cross country skiing a try. I love being outside and it feels so good to be in the fresh winter air.</div><div> </div><div>Hockey has been a time consuming sport this winter. I had no idea how much I was going to enjoy being a hockey mom. My son's team won their tournament last weekend and it was so much fun to watch. A lot of nailbiting excitement! </div><div> </div><div>I have been taking a break from my digital camera lately and shooting more film. Hence the infrequent postings. There is just something about film that I love. It feels good to slow down and really think about my shots. </div><div> </div><div>As for taking time to do this puzzle.....I tried, really I did.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">>ahref="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/WUdj"><img
