At Jumping Mouse, winter introduces new dimensions of mentoring: trailing long-tailed weasels and coyotes through snowy meadows and tangled cedar thickets; building snow shelters; practicing survival fire methods in challenging conditions; and helping kids learn to keep themselves warm and comfortable in the wind, snow, and freezing temperatures.
I love winter. I love the opportunity to read the tracking stories strewn across the landscape; I love the low angle of the afternoon sun; I love the mist of falling snow on a bright morning; I love the softness, the quiet, the winter birds. I love wool sweaters. I love rosy cheeks.
