Where others come for vacation...

Now you don't...

Skylar loves playing Hide and Seek with us.

She shoots like an arrow through the meadow and climbs up a tree, waits till we have spotted her, and then in a jiffy she's down, finds another place to hide and then again like a bolt of lightning, she's across the meadow to the next tree.

Never a boring moment with her around...

Outside - the peaks freshly coated with powder snow

Inside - to keep us warm, the fire is aglow ...

Retirement is when one stops living at work and starts working at living cool
 
Would i trade-in this routine for my corporate world days of leading a worldwide team? No way!!!
The people i miss, the work definitely not. Somehow it seems pointless - so not in tune with Nature - well .. to me right now.
