Winter Wonderland

Veronica Mahara

Hello Everyone!

A few months ago we took our last camping trip of the season.

We had a beautiful site near a river. The trees were turning color and there was that incredibly delicious smell of Fall in the Pacific Northwest. We were only about an hour away from Mr. Rainier so we went up there and took a spectacle hike at the base of the mountain. There was plenty of snow but still light for the area. We were walking in a Winter’s Wonderland! So fresh and … cold. Luckily I packed my warm clothes 🙂

We don’t get much snow here. We are both originally from the East coast so our wintertime childhoods were spent in snow, snow and more snow. I loved it! Sledding, skating, snowball fights, and thawing out by the radiator with my sister. (We always stayed out too long!)

My husband and I agree, we could not live as adults in areas with winter snows, but as long as we can get to it now and then, it remains a lovely memory.

Stay warm and have a safe and happy winter to all those who get plenty of the white stuff. And fingers crossed we’ll get our 3-5 inches around Christmas time 🙂 Which, by the way shuts down the entire area! LOL.

Until next time, Peace and Love! V.

Good Monday Morning All!

It’s February and I’m trying not to get the winter blues! ~The days are getting longer and soon I will be planting my sweet peas!

The winter white of the snowfall is making my world a picturesque wonderland. Luckily we don’t get much snow and it only lasts a few days on average. A snow day would be nice.

I start back up on rewrites for the second in my book series of American Historical Fiction. I say start back because about ten days ago I was writing along, minding my own business when silver streaks shot out from the side of my vision. Blood splashed across my site. I thought I was having a brain hemorrhage!

Long story short and many tests later, it wasn’t anything to worry about, just a bit of eye tissue coming loose, tearing a vein… and I will heal. Trying to see clearly out of that eye until then is annoying.

I know stress can cause a bunch of weird stuff in that complicated universe we call our bodies. So, I slowed down and changed a few things in my life and fingers crossed I can stick to it. Feels good to push the reset button!

Wishing you all a great week and be carefuIMG_3375l of that stress!

Love and Peace,

Veronica
