Trinity's Peace, Bear Love & Gizmo

Last week the weather was beautiful the sun was bright and the nights were clear, but for Peace & Bear it wasn't what they like the most. To them the harder it snows the better they like, but with the warmer weather earlier in the week it helped to set the snow up so that they could get to places that were almost impossible the week before. From the time they get up in the morning they play and wrestle in the snow. Normally their coats are blac or brown but now mostly white and they love it. They teach me alot about not taking life too seriously but to enjoy every moment as it arrives. After playing hard they come in for a short rest even with Gizmo as a sleeping partner for Bear. Gizmo fits right in with their play but doesn't like it so much 2 on 1, he's really sneaky and into surprise attacks especially on Bear, they keep me laughing and entertained, what do you do in the snow?

After the beautiful weather last week it looks like January is going to go out with a Big POWder dump, we got no snow last week and since Sun morning we've gotten 20" and only 0.25" yesterday giving us a grand total for the year of 367" and 101" for Jan so far and still 2 days to go, could be very interesting for the slde dog races this coming weekend.

What a week it's been @ Trinity

This past week was very different for many reasons many I can't explain, but the biggest thing out of it that is out of my control is that my sled is at our garage at Fish Lake and I need a ride to it or someone kind enough to bring it out to me at Trinity. Once that is taken care of then I can do other things needed to be done but it's a long walk in these conditions. If anyone is out riding this way and can give me a ride out or could possible drive it in for me I will gladly cover your gas if you will let me know, I'd appreciate it contact me @ trinity5.peace@yahoo.com or 509-210-2351.
This has been a beautiful week weather wise but cold we didn't get any snow during the week and most mornings started between 0 & 2 but the sun was shining brightly and the full moon lit the mountains up even at 2am it truly is my very favorite time of winter when the full moon is high in the sky and the snow glistens and sparkles with hoar frost I call Ice Diamonds. Perry and Jan came out Friday with their dog teams and that was a nice visit, they seemed to have a great run and Jan was going to get some night time running in definitely picked a great time to do it. This past week conditions are almost identical to the conditions we had during last years Cascade Quest but this year the Quest is going to be a week later and now the forecast shows snow all week, doesn't look like large amounts but it would accumulate and make it more difficult for the dog teams, we'll just have to see. It should be an exciting weekend, if you've never seen sled dog races you should check it out, it's very exciting and beautiful at the same time.
Life is a journey full of lessons and this week reminded me of that, it seems the lessons we don't learn we will repeat until we learn them. My word is one of my greatest assets and I do not commit to things until I weigh it out and will do whatever it takes to carry it out. I have lots of people tell me thing like they are going to have to come to Trinity and I believe that they mean it at the time but for some reason it never happens so I don't repeat what they say but watch and see if it happens. This week though I believed what I was told and told others and none of it materialized with many people being concerned and confused at the same time. One thing for sure I didn't like the feelings that I had but it did remind me why I didn't do that and why at this time did I let this happen as far as my part of it, time for some self searching because I know that knowing makes me a better person. I feel great though in spite of it because I know everything I did was from a pure heart and came from a place of love and peace. Sometimes I guess we just need a reminder.
It was because of all of this that my sled ended up at the garage and me stuck at Trinity and the reason I've put this out. Thanks to all I appreciate you. FYI so far Jan has only had 96" of snow but over 350+" accumulative for the season. The gauge shows just over 9' which just shows how very dry this snow has been this year. Get out and enjoy the snow there is so much to see and experience.
