a dusting

coming home from a week in the mountains, where we were skiing and boarding, hiking and absolutely enjoying the snow and the outdoors a lot. it was nice to have wonderful dusting of the beautyful white over the weekend.
i headed out in the morning, no the sun was not out all day but still a few nice pictures were taken and i feel fine with them. it seems like catching the mood of lenten, being able to be still and reflect, take time to just not hurry around and about.

of course there is that "fasnachtsmontag" here in our town, which i absolutely not understand, as lent has started last wednesday... i guess in this area people do not care about the church calendar anymore. well i do and i take this monday to ease into the routine of the every day with the kids. monday is chore day, for me and so it is for the kids too, as they have the day off. heaps of socks from all those days in snowboard boots or ski boots... heaps of thermo under layers... and we all don't mind, as we enjoyed the the activity and we have this extra day.

be still and do the chores without grumbling or discontent.
