Our March came in like a lamb - does that mean it will leave like a lion?
A couple of weeks ago we had some nice crust and I enjoyed walking anywhere I wanted. I could almost imagine it was sand on a shore as I looked at it sparkling.
I've been going on a walk, 2 or 3 miles a day, with Buddy. I've only missed a couple of days when it was raining or the weather was too severe. (wind, blizzard conditions). I dress up and breathe in the fresh air.
Buddy stands on the crust easily, but for about a week or so it was crusty enough for me too. |
Can I imagine sand and shore? |
My footprints, barely sinking in the crust. |
This shot was meant to show how deep the snow is, up to the middle of the wheel on this wheel line. |
One Saturday we went snowmobiling. Bart was generous enough to let us use a couple of his. I drove Grandpa's and Dad and James the two from Bart. It was such a nice afternoon. Still fairly crusty conditions and we drove all over the fields. Dad blazed the trails and James followed me: looking out for me when I had to go down a steep edge or cross a road or something. I only tipped over once! I liked being able to drive myself. I told Dad that getting me a snowmobile will help me to be more content in winter.
Last Saturday I tried cross country skiing. Thick powder conditions were not conducive to skiing the fields, but I did ski along the road. I'll have to practice some more and maybe get boots and skis that actually fit me.
If only our spring will come this quickly - maybe?
