Winter Greetings
By cmckenna, Saturday, December 12th, 2009
Well, it’s finally happened. Winter is here, and my thoughts now begin to shift from rivers and giant pine trees to cross country skiing and hot chocolate. I live in Toronto where winter really never completely sets in. While there are people running around in minus 40 celsius rated down jackets and there is talk of storms of the century, its really not much compared with the rest of the county. Even though here in Toronto we don’t really “do” winter, the same sentiments arise once the weather turns colder. People slow down a little bit, nest a little and eat a little more.
One of my winter traditions is to thumb through my pictures of the past summer. I look at them fondly and think about the long days and warm nights in Temagami. This picture in particular brings back memories of this past summer. In June 2009 I stepped into a new role as Program Director at our Northwaters Basecamp. Along with this amazing new challenge I was also planning a wedding, my wedding for the end of August. (more…)
