Living Above the Clouds

The other day I was reminded just how gorgeous Waterville can be in the winter. During our drive home, I noticed a small window of sky peaking through the clouds to the northeast. As we ascended Pine Canyon, the clouds thinned, and we emerged from dark, dreary, cloudiness into blindingly sunny, blue skies shining on clean, sparkly snow-covered fields. After spending a day wrapped up in a Wenatchee winter inversion it is really a breathtaking experience. I love to pull over at the top of the canyon and look down at the clouds to see how they fill every crack and crevice below, covering the valley like a huge white blanket. It's amazing the difference a couple thousand feet can make!
