Making The Best of A Hard Winter



Saturday was one of those rare winter days this year when there was no howling wind and no freezing rain or rain after a heavy snowfall. The snow lay thickly on the trees all day and the landscape was truly beautiful. It was the perfect day for snowshoeing and Lucy Maud had a great time running ahead on the woodland trails.
Snowshoeing has the added advantage of making one feel virtuous once home for having expended so many calories breaking the trail. The exercise helps to balance out all the calories consumed on bleak, sleety, cold, icy weekends when making bread or buns seemed good for the soul.
