  • walk with me.. well not me..

    Saturday I stapped on a pair of 19" snow shoes and headed out into the woods.  There'd been a major thaw and the top of the snow was crusting.  A few hundred yards onto the trail and I'd crashed through to my knees one too many times.  It was exhausting.  I went back to the house and curled up on the couch.  Sunday morning was gorgeous, even at 5 degrees.  This time, I strappedon a 22" pair.  Different sizes for differnet kinds of snow, you know?  Fabulous! A bigger snow shoe helps you float better.  A thick crust, and by now with the frigid temps, there was a good thick one, helps even more.  I took pictures of tracks in the snow and planned on blogging a few.  But…. then my sister sent me this video.  It is So much more entertaining than my walk.  Enjoy!

     

    Wasn't I right?

      Awesome! I never have time to surf for videos so love it when my fave bloggers post these kinds of things.

      So awesome that I dumped my coffee laughing- fortunately I missed the keyboard. Lol. I still want to see your photos in your next post though. 🙂
      My yard is the same way though with a layer of ice – poor dogs wind up peeing an pooping with at least one leg falling through. With my luck I’d break a leg out there, so I stay on the deck.

    3. Thanks to both you and your sister for an enjoyable video. I was up in the wee hours, unable to sleep. Who knew I was to have such an adventure?!

    1. Oh, how I wish it were spring. Or Friday. Or that snow and even beautiful ice were any color but white.
