Skiing 001

We had the pleasure of spending time with one of our granddaughters this week. Along with a lot of book reading we went cross-country skiing. Silje enjoys spending time outdoors. We skied the trails around our property.

Skiing through this marsh we followed tracks of deer, pine marten, fox and a wolf. Silje really enjoyed seeing the tracks and two deer.

Surprised

After skiing we went to our friend’s home to hand feed the chickadees. Last time Silje did not let the chickadees land on her hand but this time she said she would. This picture tells the whole story.

She held out the sunflower seeds and turned towards us and didn’t see the chickadee coming. When it landed on her hand she jerked her hand back so fast that the seeds are still suspended in mid air as the surprised chickadee flew out of the upper corner of the photo. The look on her face is priceless.

She tried again but the chickadee didn’t want any part of it. At least she still had a smile on her face. She said when we go back next time she will hold her hand still. Some of the best times in life are spent with grandkids.
