I forgot my snowshoes today and had to tramp up Beech Hill in just my hiking boots. Wasn’t too bad, though, and I only broke through with maybe seven percent of my footsteps. Jack had no trouble at all.

Lovely up there. We were the only ones—except for a raven, some crows, some chickadees, and a flicker.
