Where others come for vacation...
where others come for vacation ...

 

30 mins, some 370 m and Skylar shows me the forest around the house through her eyes -- 

Climbing on every tree trunk smelling it for any new traces, scratching it with her sharp claws, every now & then looking back to make sure I'm still following her, creeping under bushes and branches, jumping over fences, eyeing birds up a tree, waiting on a rock for me to catch up. It's amazing how totally present she is with all her senses, naturally blending in with her surroundings - being One with Nature.

A cat's world, so much more "Here and Now" than ours!

 

 

 

Love hanging out together ... ????????

 

 

During the first week of December, all members of Sport Union gather for a cozy evening of drinking, nibbling, gossiping and laughing together - before the Winterbreak. "Chlaishock" literally means sitting together for Christmas. Chlais =short form of Samichlais (aka SantaClaus) and Hock = Squat.

Since we're a sporty group, one has to earn the nibbles and drinks. After a decent 3km walk, we're invited for a fine Apéro with Glühwein in a Farmer's old Barn heartfully decorated in the Christmas spirit. 

Continuing further down to the lake, we let our hearts beat to the rhythmic clang of hundreds of Cow-bells carried by the Beckenried Trichler. The evening ends on a high note with some delicious cakes and creamy desserts tongue-out

Too bad, gotta drive back home some 25 kilometres...
