We canceled both our sessions last weekend due to snow and high winds. It was neither prudent nor safe to work out there in those conditions, and while we make no claims either way about prudence, we hold firm beliefs in the importance of safety.
Monday conditions were better and I was able to drive to Dan Ryan Woods in Chicago for the Forest Preserves MLK Service Day. This is a good event, with school and community groups sending busloads of youngsters to get a taste of restoration. While they, too, had some weather-related cancellations, enough came to make it an enjoyable afternoon.
Snow Play
No restoration meant lots of play time in the snow. Mostly that means cross-country skiing though I also squeezed in some hiking.
From Lake Katherine in Palos Heights, my closest nature retreat, to Swallow Cliff, quite possible my favorite, 'It's all too beautiful' - I have a prize for the first person who tells me where I lifted the first four words of this sentence.
