A Moody Winter's Day

A couple weekends ago, when the Northeast (and our respective families) were getting dumped on with snow, we got some of our own winter cheer.  Over a foot of new snow fell in Forest Falls, where we have gone to church ever since moving to California.  The day had many faces to it - from tranquil evening vistas like the picture below to bright, bluebird skies to foggy, almost eery scenes.
The day started out with the sun trying to burn through the clouds but just not quite succeeding.

Church was held at a local church member's home because the power was out at our church.  Yeah, we're just awesome like that!
The sun has arrived!

Our church is located in the middle right next to the road.



The fog is moving in again!

Spring Break Snow

Spring Break this year was a rather muted affair but we managed to sandwich the midweek work (Christy) and study (Barry) with two fun, drastically different weekend trips.  The first weekend brought a GI bug to my tummy and a huge snow storm to the mountains.  Despite my stomach's protests, I was NOT going to miss out on winter.  So on Sunday we headed up for a snowshoe hike that turned into a slow plod (on my part) that turned into Barry pulling his ill wife on the sled.  But it was still beautiful, full of fresh air, cold snow, and blue skies.







Up next: Death Valley National Park!
