My mind is ambling on ahead. We were talking about subnivean creatures in kindergarten the other day, about the life that forges ahead under the snow, and I got hung up visualizing green grass. We were overnighting at Cascade Lodge at the base of Engineer. The snow was deep. The sledding extraordinary. And my mind was drifting towards spring.
We hiked down the hill to investigate the snow caves that the older kids had built and slept in, a few nights previous. There was a snow village really. Eight separate caves, a fire pit, trails and even stairs.
Spring is NOT just around the corner. A night in a snow cave with my middle child would probably dispel any delusions I might harbor. This weekend. I'm not sure why this sounds so right. I suppose it's akin to 'hair of the dog'.
I'll let you know if it works.
And maybe I'll just keep digging till I hit green.
