Snowshoeing in the Sun.

1-18-08 VERMONT: We’re back up in Thetford for a taste of January. We arrived yesterday to a typical assortment of problems: TV’s not working, invisible dog fence out of order, and furnace electrical switch replacement. We have service appointments for the fence and electrician pending.

Last night we got about eight inches of wet, heavy snow, and we snowshoed around the pasture a few times. The dogs also loved it. There was about six inches of frozen crusty snow on the ground, before the snow. All day the new snow has been sliding off the roof and hitting the ground or deck with thuds and thumps. Each crash is an occasion for some of us to start barking lest that snow tries to break into the house. After noon the sun came out and it warmed to almost 40°, beautiful shiny day and dinner party tonight.


And away we go.
