    Lisa and Annie, those both sound like magical experiences! yay!

    One of our recent snowshoeing ventures this month we went on a trail we hadn't seen before and the snow was deep and fresh beside the well tramped trail. Someone ahead of us had paused several times on the way and written words in the snow: like peace, joy, jubilation, magic, sacred sanctuary, etc. It was very cool - it added to the magic of the moment for me.

    LBTC, Lisa,

    So glad to hear you had wonderful shoeing, also. I'll have to shoe vicariously through you now. Our temps hit 46 F. today. Snow was melting and soaking into the ground. It's not gone yet, but our predicted temps are above freezing all week. Plus a day or two of rain. So much for the snow. It's possible we'd get enough for another round, but unlikely. So enjoy it while you can, I say. And look forward to biking season soon! Yay! It's all good.

    We got more snow!! Slushy, sloppy wet snow, but snow, nonetheless! So I was out with the snowshoes again today. Let me tell you, shoeing through wet, heavy snow is one he## of a workout!! I am beat. I loved it. How's your snow, ladies?

    snow in town here is disappearing rapidly, which I love as I wait to see what bulbs are poking out of the ground! I'm sure the trails we go to still have good snow, but we didn't go this weekend or last for several reasons, or are those excuses?

    Keep enjoying while you have it!

    The snow from 10 days ago is getting pretty lame- the woodland trails are so packed down. We visited frineds an hour away this weekend and I brought my shoes and they have some too, but their snow situation was worse than ours was, so none of us went shoeing.
    But there is maybe an inch or two in the forecast over the next few days here, and if we get a new fresh surface I'll go out again. The forcast is odd for this week, and it actually could go either way between shoeing and biking! I'll be watching the weather.

    I guess I've been shoeing about 4 times total, all on just that one big snowfall we've had so far this winter, 10 days ago or so. It would be freaky if that's all the snow we get this winter!!
