"Sao"

Một ngôi sao vừa rơi
vụt tắt trên bầu trời
hay là tên người ấy
vụt tắt ở trong tôi ?

Vẫn thấy trên bầu trời
có muôn vàn sao sáng
mà ở trong lòng tôi
như một hành lang vắng

Một ngôi sao vừa tắt
bầu trời vẫn không buồn
sao tên người ấy tắt
trong lòng tôi cô đơn

- translated tu Puskin

Mot ngoi sao vua roi
vut tat tren bau troi
hay la ten nguoi ay
vut tat o trong toi?

Van thay tren bau troi
co muon van sao sang
ma o trong long toi
nu mot hanh lang vang

Mot ngoi sao vua tat
bau troi van khong buon
sao ten nguoi ay tat
trong long toi co don

How do I get back to this????

Trekking Through Snow Country

Saturday morning, we took up snowshoes and trekked around the cabin. Snow was high, and the trees were beautiful, and everything was quiet. We had a grand time.

Saturday afternoon, we went out to Rainbow drive and trekked around in snowshoes. The amazing landscape belonged to us, no sound but the whisper of air rustling, no other color but pristine white snow.

Arriving in snow country

Last Saturday, we drove through clear weather and beautiful skies toward Soda Springs. We came to snow and quickly took Exit 174 to the cabin...

We stayed in a cabin not unlike this neighboring one. Saturday morning, I noticed the couple next door busily shoveling snow off their balcony...


Luckily, we did not get a lot of snow over night and our balcony was relatively clear. By mid-morning, the light dusting was melted by the bright sun.

Back from Snowshoe-ing!!

For the first time in my life, I realized what it meant to wear tennis rackets on my feet to trekk through at least a foot of snow. Yeah!

Will write more later as I am now recovering, still, from the trip...
