Snow plus rain equals slush, and such were the conditions when Jack and I hiked Beech Hill this balmy, wet morning. Incredibly (and impressively) we were the second dog and human to hike this day—and possibly the last. Heard several birds, saw a couple chickadees.
[Note: Dog enjoyed himself despite what it looks like here.]
