Home for the next month

From the sun and beach to the mountains and snow! Our life...an ever changing landscape and adventure.

After a too brief but great visit in Boise with our family, we have arrived at our new home 6 miles south of Sun River Ski Resort (Mt. Bachelor) and 24 miles southwest of Bend, Oregon. We are here Jan 20 thru Feb 15th. while the family goes to Costa Rica. As you can see, there is about 18 in of snow on the ground and more in the forecast. Despite the 40 degree change in temperature, it is quite beautiful and the most snow we have had the experience of living in.
7 year old chocolate lab, Chuck. He is trained as a Delta Dog. His coloring is rich and gorgeous...a color that women can appreciate...like a Loreal commercial. He waits for Richard to throw his big ball which he won't lose in the deep snow like the tennis balls.
10 year old, Norfolk Terrier, Reisha. She kept right up with us on our walk and is wonderfully oblivious to the little snowballs accumulating on her! There is also a Teddy Bear Hamster named Bagel...lots of birds and other wildlife we will get to see and take pictures of and scenery, of course.
