First Snow

The first real snow of the season fell Tuesday. Not only did it accumulate, but it was still on the ground come Wednesday morning. It was strange walking in the woods and seeing snow on the ground and on the trees. As we walked along hearing only the soft crunch of my shoes and Beyla's paws it was great to just take in the white world around us. I love winter. The snow, the crisp, cold air... it's the change of seasons and the differences between them that really add that special something to life in New England.

The pond is starting to freeze as the nights and morning gets colder. It won't be long before our walks take us out across the pond for a completely different vantage point. That's part of the fun of winter. Being able to walk on water so to speak. It allows you to travel on foot to places you can't the rest of the year. I can't wait for the lake to freeze solid enough to travel on. That'll open up a whole new expanse for us to explore. :)
