You can bet it was a quick hike up Beech Hill and back for the two dogs and me. Temperatures dipped into the single digits (F) last night, as promised, and didn’t make it much above ten all this sunny day. Then again, the fact that I can still endure a brisk little winter climb over an icy trail being towed by two strong dogs without falling down even once gives me a certain measure of satisfaction.
