It really did feel like winter today. Dry, cold, windy. We finally trekked up behind our house and into the woods, and we found a great trail, that looks like a four-wheeler route. We did knock on the door of the neighbour who lives furthest up the road, before the woods, to ask about whether or not it would be ok for us to walk...but they weren't home, so we went ahead, and hiked for a while, until the trail started to ascend sharply. Horus began the walk whiny, but I persisted gently, and he came to rapidly, becoming more enthusiastic as we went on. We examined the ice patterns, and skated with our boots on the frozen puddles. After a while, Treva, in the backpack, started to protest, and I realized that she is ready to walk, and that despite her lightness, she really isn't a baby anymore. So she hopped out and trundled along, falling every second step, and then I would yank her up again by the scruff of her snowsuit...we developed a good system.
