Snowshoe Day

 Hello! Thanks for popping by!  Today I'd love to share with you some pictures of a little snowshoe walk I took with my kids.  It's a wonderful fun thing to do in the winter here in the Yukon.

The sun came out today and shone brightly...for us down in the river valley it shines on us for about 1 -1 1/2 hours in the middle of the day.  Every day it will get more and more from now on till June. :)

One other thing I love about homeschooling is that we can spontaneously go out in the middle of the day for adventures without upsetting schooling...but adding to it.  We saw and identified tons of tracks, from snowshoe hare, fox, mice, lynx, raven and squirrels.  We saw a rabbit kill and had a good talk about how the Lord created the pattern for all of his creatures to be fed.

I just love that my kids and I can snowshoe.  Everyone in the family aside from my husband have a pair and we tromp along through the snow together. I wore my old Sorel boots as my newer ones are too big to fit into the straps.   I've had these boots for years and years, and my mother before me. They still are warm although a bit ugly now.

I just love the snow on the trees and the blue sky above!

Our snowshoe trail through the trees.  It's a new trail, but will get nicely packed down as it gets used more and more till it melts.

We walked up almost to the bridge but chose to stop here since the trail goes down too close to the ice.  The ice on our river this year isn't very safe, and I don't want to chance anyone breaking through to the water below.  This particular area, the water is very deep next to the narrow trail.

A look up the river on our way back home.  The sun having gone down below the tops of the trees.

Here is a picture of the river close to our place that you can see huge sections broken down, and you can see and hear the water running.

Thanks for dropping by!  I pray you have a beautiful day to, being out in the beauty of God's amazing creation.

Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse"

Psalm 95

¹ "O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

² Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

³ For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

⁴ In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

⁵ The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

⁶ O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

⁷ For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

⁸ Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

⁹ When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

¹⁰ Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

¹¹ Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest."
