Winter Wonderland

Winter in Maine sucked last year.  I think we had one big snowstorm.  And it was on a long weekend, so I didn't even get a snow day out of it from school!  Boo!!!  This year, however, ROCKS!  Actually, this week rocks! Last Wednesday we had a snow day, and today we had early release - which is actually better because we go home early - but we're at school long enough that it counts as a full day of school, so we don't have to make it up in June.  Woot!  I don't even mind shoveling...well, mostly.  
This past Sunday I went snowshoeing for the first time.  It was so fantastic!  It was a gorgeous day and the snow was still fresh from the previous storm. We ended up on a snowmobile trail by accident, so it was all packed down, which we didn't really want.  But I guess it was actually ok considering it was my first time snowshoeing.  It was so beautiful outside in the woods...I heart winters in Maine.  The rec dept in Windham actually lets its residents borrow LL Bean snowshoes for the weekend for free, which is pretty cool.  I can't wait to do it again.  I'm so happy to be back here....The Way Life Should Be.  True story.

(I would like a little help shoveling, though...)

  1. Snowshoeing rocks. X-C skiing is even better, in my opinion!

    It's 45 degrees here and sunny. This is like freakin' May weather, not January...
