An early and severe winter has meant that my collie and I have been walking on the concession road -- plowed and free of ice, it was a better alternative to slipping and plunging on the back fields. It just was not enough today -- the morning was cold, but I did not want to go inside after the walk. My snowshoes seemed just the thing for the back country and the mocassin-like boots (Ugs -- a lucky thrift store find) would be perfect for the bindings.
The creek behind my property had not been visited in months so that was where I went. Tip was left behind inside the house -- any deer and she would be gone.
It was a fine walk... maybe it is time to lay down a trail for cross-country skiing. The base is perfect at this time of winter.
note: Cold and windy the next day, but I laid the trail in the late afternoon. Seem to be totally acclimatised to the weather.
