When Beth Jukuri wants to get outdoors for some fresh air and exercise, she just has to go out the door and it’s all right there in her backyard. She said she’s been lucky to have some good skiing snow there in Chassell, barely enough, but enough. Beth enjoys a beautiful morning ski from this past week, complete with the sun shining brightly, plenty of shadows on the fresh snow, a bit of frost on the empty tree branches, a field of snow mounds and blue skies with some wispy looking clouds. What a great way to start any wintry day!

Speaking of enough snow, the kiddos in today’s video get to discover the magic of snow for the first time. I remember introducing my boys and grandkids to their first snow, so it brought back fun memories for me. There’s a saying that if you choose not to find the joy in snow, you will have less joy in your life, but the same amount of snow. So, get out there and enjoy the winter with the wonderment of a child!

I just love that first picture.
It's so beautiful. Well, they all
are, but the first one just
grabbed me. You're very lucky,
Beth.

Those are all so gorgeous...and the babies finding
snow...just adorable.

Oh yes…there back; and I’ve got those
beautiful UP blues!
Thanks, Beth!
And what a sweet video;

I agree with MRS Ron, that first pic is stunning.
They all look great tho, nice job Beth. Maybe it's
because I can't get U.P. there currently... It
looks
really cold. You're right Mary, all kids should be
able to experience snow. Winter is very beautiful
and quiet when out in the woods, very soothing and
helps getting your outlook on track. But after
3/15/25, I'm ready for Spring. lol

Now that the Lions are done, I'm hoping to see the
Bills & Commanders in the SB

That's who I'm cheering for too,
UC. I figure they both beat the
Lions, so that makes it seem
better if they go on to win it
all.
