The month of January is especially known for gray where we live. The dark clouds and rain can really weigh you down if you let them. It can be hard to go anywhere or do anything. To get past this we go in search of green. Green moss, green ferns, and green grass. With all the rain it isn’t hard to find.

Fresh snow. Kids laughing and sledding down the hill. Cute store fronts and festive lights. It’s hard to beat Leavenworth at Christmas.

My family started making the annual trip at Christmas time a couple of decades ago following a family wedding. My mom was looking for a good place to relax and recover from the event. Little did she know we would still be making the trip these many years later.
