TBT: 5 YEARS AGO TODAY

 TBT:January 15, 2021 Natureman has been on my mind a lot as the fifth year anniversary of his passing is in less than 2 months.

 In spite of his chemo treatments, here he was 5 years ago, where he loved best- out in the elements, snowshoeing no less, even when the week before he didn't want to get out of bed. The fresh cold air would cleanse him. And he did sleep really well after all that fresh air.

Natureman loved the outdoors. And I know he will be with me in spirit as I go birdwatching, hiking to waterfalls and swimming in remote areas in Costa Rica this next month.  He would have gone with me and enjoyed the ecotourism but be all the happier to be back in his own element as part of the End of the Rainbow Valley as we lived in our own paradise nestled in a valley...

    Some of my favorite memories of Irv is tooling around on skies or snowshoes. I snowshoe a great deal now, alone. I sure miss Irv.

    Such a joyous memory to share, Karen! Yes, the bracing cold could be so restorative if one were open to it ;). We may be below 40 tonight in St. Augustine, but nowhere like you got in Chaseburg!
