Fun in the snow

We have clear blue sky, and it's gorgeous today.

Buttercup, the neighbor's darling Sheltie, came over to play. She's been too timid around Lucky in the past, but they made friends with each other today.



Trevor's been dying to take me down to the creek. The dogs happily came along.


We stuck to the path until we no longer had any idea where it was. This is looking back up from the creek to the house. The roof is in the very center of the photo, you can see the snow on top.


Trevor put a lot of faith in his water resistant boots. I clung to his walking stick, which he so kindly lent me. Lucky took off. Although he fooled us by heading in the wrong direction, he's really a wimp, and we later found he'd returned home. Buttercup stuck with us.


We walked along the creek for a little while. The snow was deep and unbroken. I didn't want to go too far, as I didn't want to have to hike all that way back home.


This is a totally different snow than last month, this is the soft, crunchy snow of spring. The cars, for the most part, are brushed off, the driveway's been plowed (Robert desperately wants a tractor), the sun is shining, and we'll be free tomorrow.
