back from the wilds

I've just returned from a trip to Finland with most of the time spent in Lapland, far beyond the Arctic Circle. Lots of snow and pine trees, reindeer and sled dogs, but no Northern Lights.  That was a disappointment.  It was all quite beautiful and we did lots of fun things but, as I was trudging along snow covered paths, I found myself thinking longingly of spring in Indiana. Hah!  Rain, rain, rain.  At least there was sunshine near the North Pole.  I hope to have some pictures ready to share tomorrow. Stay tuned.
