Never fails...

Moonlight

Full moon/blue moon/super moon with a lunar eclipse tomorrow morning. It made for a beautiful late night walk with the dogs!

For a very important date?

Time to trim nails!

When it's time to trim the teams' nails, the job doesn't end just because the sun's gone down before you finish all 437. And she didn't forget Amber! Abby made darn sure they were done right too. ;-) Good job girls!

Tuck & go!!

Today he raced in the Sassi Memorial at Black Mountain.

But Rusty...that's MY pillow!

A single, "Thank you," is not enough!

Senior Swim Meet

No power? No problem!

"Can't you do that any faster?! We're hungry!!"

Sunday Funday - Awards!

Lamoille Valley Rail Trail Sled Dog Race

Free soup? Yes, please!

It was actually posole, but close enough ;-) Thank you Luchador Tacos. See you in the spring!

Go Vikings!

They finally got to race again today!

Ahhhh...

There's no place more peaceful than the woods during a snowstorm, especially after dark. I needed some peace this evening. 

Oxford Hills Tech Challenge

This year he didn't compete, but was asked to judge the projects done by the younger students. He also demonstrated the work that he has done on the robot that his brother started building a couple of years ago. Pre-engineering has been such a great class for my boys!

Beautiful back-country skiing!

We found snow!

It took some searching since most of the trails were ruined by last week's rain, but we managed to get them a run on a 6 mile loop this afternoon!

A late afternoon run with Yukon

Sea to Summit

I finally put together all our 'bling'. Those were 2 great races, and I'm so glad that we were able to run them together!

Old Calendar

Several years ago Aunt Margie gave me this dish towel from the year I was born. It hangs on a wall in my kitchen. Last night my son noticed that this year the days match! 

Before the rain...

I figured if the weather is going to be half as bad as they're predicting this weekend, then I needed to play in this beautiful snow one more time today!

I always keep my skis in the car (along with my skates and snowshoes!) just in case I have a chance to use them, and I was able to squeeze in a quick 2 mile ski 😁 Yay! I wasn't exactly dressed appropriately, but who cares?

It was a helluva workout. Climbing the hills at Roberts Farm is always humbling, but the weather was perfect, the trails were gorgeous, and the scenery can't be beat!

Despite yucky sidewalks...

I managed to not slip! And got in another 2 mile walk at lunchtime. I might be out of my slump!

Thanks for the invite!

It's always nice to squeeze in a walk at lunchtime, and even better to visit!

Kitty Whisperer

This time of year they are staying indoors and therefore feeling cooped up and grumpy. They keep fighting, so they need to keep their distance. However, they have figured out a way to each get some love without getting too close to each other!

Happy birthday to this dear girl!

We have big birds visiting this winter!

Someone's having a worse day that you are...

Look at Li'l Hazel go!

Arguably the best way to start the new year! (for the 2nd time!)
