A walk in Shugart Flats
Sometime in the fall new neighbors moved in on the other side of Shugart flats.
This guy always comes over to say hi.
Th rest of the gang on a sunny winter morning.
...and a snowy winter morning.
This is Freddie...
Its free-range dogs in Shugart Flats, Freddie is always up for a stroll.
Uma and Freddie are friends, really...

Best sleds
Two weeks ago it was looking a lot like spring. Not any more, winter is back. We had over 2 feet of fresh snow fall over mid-winter break and it was FUN! A big thanks to our last guests for putting in a super fast banked sledding chute through the trees. We worked on the the long run and tested all our sleds.
We have a sweet wooden classic, a foam snowboogie and a basic plastic.
I love the wooden classic....
Our sled retriever preferred the lightness of the plastic sled.
The snowboard is essential for getting the sledding run groomed and fast.
The winner turned out to be the plastic, for control, speed and flexibility.

Black and White Photography
It was another beautiful winter weekend. Here's a few shots from in and around Poofy's.
Checking in on the river, still a little snow left on the banks.
Sunday goals...
...my favorite spot, the master bedroom balcony.

I'm pretty excited about my new wide angle lens my sister got me for Christmas. I've been having fun taking shots inside Poofy's.
The master bedroom has french doors that open out onto a balcony. One of my favorite spots!
The main floor guest room with a queen size bed and beautiful views of the trees.

My kids are always fighting over who gets to sleep in the loft. A coat of paint transformed the floor from plywood to perfect. The log rail is from trees on the property.

Seattle Getaways
Happy New Year from Poofy's Paradise! We were fortunate to have 2 glorious weeks with visits from family and friends. Amazing days of snowboarding, cross country skiing, sledding, snow forts and snowball fights. Playing cards, crafting, reading and relaxing by the fire.
We'll be back soon, but until then its already for next weekends guests.
Shugart Flats rd after the snow fall.
Lake Wenatchee was smooth as glass.
The holidays are not complete with out a trip into Leavenworth to see the Christmas lights.
January is the perfect time to see the lights after the Christmas crowds are gone.
