The rivers that once provided fishing, swimming, and gold panning opportunities are beginning to freeze over and will soon provide icy waterfalls glistening with colorful reflections of the sunlight. Soon Mother Nature will place her white blanket over the hills and mountains, providing an opportunity for skiers, snowshoers, and snowmobiles to traverse them. Our holiday celebrations will fill the air with magic as crafters display their wares for all to see, and hopefully buy. The community will be filled with happiness and good-will toward all as we celebrate this special time of year.Kevin N. Saisinoreply@blogger.com
