Winter Has Arrived

Winter has arrived!

It is amazing, one day we were hiking at lunch through forests of colorful trees and the next day it is snowing. We love each new season and really appreciate the fact that we have great hiking trails right outside our door from work...it makes for a fabulous lunch hour.
