SNOW photo dump. And Banana Bread Recipe!

RUNS: After having barely any snow last year we have now had it three times! It has all been manageable with only a few inches at a time and it mostly melts in between but then that has also made for some muddy trails. Im not complaining about it yet though. The novelty is still there but not sure how much longer that will last. Luckily there is no more in the immediate forecast. Just cold.

So here I present to you a photo dump of some of the snow pics that I've taken over the past two weeks...

Snow Angel made by Gary. Check out the hat and handhelds!

Getting ready for the first run in the snow of the year.

Beautiful.

Here I come down the hill.

A tragedy of the snow and winds was this tree. Came down right on the bench.
Good thing Sue wasnt sitting there when it happened! 

And then of course what is better on a snowy day the hot yoga!!

EATS: Lets just get to the good stuff. I made this Banana Nut Bread for Rik and the boys. They love it and eat it all within a day or two. This time I was nice and added some chocolate chips. I barely had it out of the oven when Rik already had the two ends off and eaten. We'll see how long it takes them to get though it now!

I still have two overripe bananas left. Any suggestions as what to do with them?

Peace.
