Perpetual Ruminations

The Weekend

I had a terrific weekend, even if it was too short. Saturday, I enjoyed a wonderful visit from our daughter. I had smoked a ham (double smoked) on Wednesday, and decided to have it for dinner on Saturday. It went into the slow cooker so we could eat whenever we decided.

On Sunday, we went to the state park and tried out our snowshoes. The dogs had a blast romping around. We did three-quarters of a mile on a trail that goes around a small lake. It wasn't very far, but for our first day snowshoeing, it was enough. Of course, we stayed and enjoyed a nice afternoon in the park, then took the scenic ride home.

I was surprised by how little snow was left. In the open areas where the sun hits, there's not much left at all, but even in the trees where it's shaded, there's little snow left. Not that I'm complaining, I'm loving this nice weather; it was in the lower fifties today.

Tomorrow is supposed to be in the forties with rain, but then it turns to snow tomorrow night with up to three inches possible; we'll see.
