We'll see if Larry likes it.

With a delicious bagel break in between  .
After checking out the sugar bush, I skied down the middle of the gravel road....
No traffic today.

This is how we prepare for the next snow storm...

I hiked a ravine that no deer would ever traverse  

I ve been here before and it's interesting to see how things change over a short time
I skied but better snow is on the way
dress for success and warmth
Susie hiked with her friend Jerry

I can't believe it but I found this little dead head in some set a side.
nothing much but I'm on the board

Welcome to 2023 - Take a hike

I've racked up a few miles 

in search of shed antler piles
someone back in the day thought the big bucks would be in this neck of the woods
always looking for some sign
there are lots of things that distract me when I'm hiking
no sheds so I grabbed some cress and wet a line on big mill.
the bite was good after the rain yesterday.

After some at home yoga, Susie choose the Aviation as our cocktail before our omelet.  

Our Aviation made with Empress 1908 gin
