A winter hike
Wasn't the long weekend nice? I love a good Monday off of work. It really makes Sunday feel different, less pressured and tense. I don't like for Sundays to be that way, but such is our reality now.
Yesterday it warmed up nicely to about 30 degrees. The boys were at a friend's house, so John, Lucy and I headed out for a walk at a little property that was new to us.
The best parts were walking out on the ice on the pond and hearing the amazing sounds of the ice groaning and forming! You've never heard anything like this. It was like a combination of whale sounds, loud pops and really really loud bullfrogs.
We also saw lots and lots evidence of beaver activity. Those buggers are crazy! They chop down all kinds of enormous trees; I had no idea.

love the wintery pictures. We're still kinda waiting for winter here in Pittsburgh. It's been trying to get here, making itself known in fits and spurts. I think it's so sweet you had an outing with just Lucy! Happy long weekend!!
