Snowtime!


While the local lake has yet to freeze over completely, the fact that there so much beautiful snow lying about totally un-used has me off the water, perhaps for the winter. The photo above gives an idea of what I'm writing about. There is so much snow, cross-country skiing has been set aside for the moment and snow-shoeing has taken over. My tracks lead up the hill above the barn and the horses. I'm heading for the hills...

Lucky you! Down here, not a flake throughout Christmas; grass was starting to green, and buds are forming on the tress. Getting about 10 cms. today - won't last, tho - ground isn't frozen, and there's standing water everywhere...

its beautiful! there was somebody skiing in the field next to the horses and they were all 'terrified' and kept having to gallop away . . . and gallop back to get scared some more...its so unusual to have condiditons like this for any length of time here so they probably won't get used to it.
