Feeling a bit under the weather today, so inside day watching Vasaloppet were elite skiers compete for first place on a 90 kilometers course, with varying terrain, from one town to another. Norway snapped the first place both in the men and woman competition. Sweden got second places. Russia wasn't invited... It was entertaining to see how fast the elite skiers went through, shifting places and trying to gain some distance to the others. Many skiers, in different skill level, are taking on this race and today they had lovely sunny weather. 
I just needed to blip one of the developing pine cones. :) The pine branches thrive in the vase filled with water, and I feel grateful.
