Walter at Heyburn State Park, Idaho

I have been a bit pressed for time to sit down at my computer and post my comings and goings, so I am going to consolidate them all into a quick post. At the present I am working a weird schedule that is not conducive to getting out and about (ok, get this...40 hours a week, Monday through Friday). Walter has been feeling the lack of love and that has sucked. Aside from my schedule at work I am also hot into the Solstice Ritual choir. The solstice celebration is on the 22nd of December and the choir is working really hard to pull it all together. This year has been a total bitch. Lots of new 2nd sopranos. We do 15 a Capella numbers which are incredibly complicated. This is my 4th year but I still find it hard. The choir has not melded yet which is bad considering this is the 9th of December. I am also waiting for snow. I am itching to get my skis on and I have been checking the ski reports each morning. Anyway, aside from a few hikes, snuggles, and stuff, Walter and I have not been up to much. I should start back on a more sane schedule around the first of the year. So here are the pics from us doing a few things out and about.
