Each morning John, Joanna and I and the dogs (Sabre and Scarlett) head out on the snowmobile trail we made from our house along the river and up to the lake for a good three mile walk. The river is pretty much all open due to the current and warm weather, but our bay is still covered with ice except for the narrow portion where the strongest current runs under the bridge.
The nights are still quite cold which has slowed the thawing process. That is fine with Joanna who still wants to run her young dogs in a team and get them familiar with running in a harness. With the longer, warmer days, the sun is melting the snow which makes it very slippery for walking. I choose to use my poles from cross country skiing to support me while walking to prevent a nasty fall. It makes for a much more relaxing walk.
We sure are thankful for being able to live in such a gorgeous, quiet, environment, far away from crowded, hustling, bustling city life. The air and water are fresh and clean and the sky a rich blue. What more could a person ask for?
