Today’s Hike
The trek to and from the mailbox wasn’t enough of a challenge for me this day, so I decided to put the cleats on my snow boots and hike up the road behind us…

I haven’t been up this road in almost 2 months, due to snow, sleet, ice, stray dogs. You name it, I’ll use that as my excuse ;-).
Shew, that wasn’t so bad… next up, knee deep snow. Thankfully it was still frozen so I could walk on top of the road less traveled by wheels. There sure was a lot of foot traffic, not the kind that wears shoes tho.

Photos don’t do it justice. Well, maybe if my cousin the photographer got ahold of this and worked her magic on it, then you’d be wanting to put it on a calendar 😉
Here is my standard shot from the top. Summer, Fall, now Winter- all have proven to be gorgeous here.

Time to head home (I’m hungry).

The most exciting thing about my hike today was that I didn’t huff or puff or feel like a 51 year old lady. HooRay.
