It's hard not to feel optimistic when you're on the "good" side of Winter Solstice and can barely-but-distinctly notice the daylight slowly creeping back, a few minutes per day. We'd received a variety of tips from locals on how to endure the dark and cold and lonely of winter, such as:
1) a geologist turned tour guide told us: get outside every day
2) a taxi driver: be like a bear and HIBERNATE
3) a friend: whiskey, and lots of it
We've tried to average out all the offered advice. I'm snowshoeing, Collin's skiing, Luna needs at least two good walks/day. Our version of hibernation is binge-watching "Better Call Saul" and the complete series of "The Office" start to finish. As for whiskey, we don't really touch it, but I will confess that the ladies at Hoodoo Brewery, our local brewery and tap room, greeted me this past week with: Happy New Year, Marisa! Oops....guess I've bought one two many growlers of their IPA this winter!
But, as my tagline says: bloom where you are planted. Below I offer you some "fruit" from the past two winters.
