Winter for a day

Ok, weather had been cold and nasty for a while now but until last week we never got white stuff that stuck around for more than a few hours. Finally we could go on a real winter walk! Even hubby seemed eager to play outside. First we strolled along the river that is the valley's name giver, then we followed the trail into the forest. While gaining elevation the snow got deeper and powdery. And we had this winter wonderland all to ourselves. The path went along the hill crest before leading us downhill again towards the city core. Of course we had to stop at a recently reopened family owned bakery in order to gather some goodies for a well deserved coffee break. Life is good!
