You’re probably tired of snowy activities by now. It’s a fact. People should not live here if they don’t enjoy playing in the snow. And now, it’s perfect. Deep and fluffy. I said that recently, didn’t I? Well, it still is and more is coming down. So in between sessions shoveling snow, a person has got to have some fun. And so does the dog.
Our house sits a ways up a steep hill with a bench down below. When the snow is soft like this, it is a perfect sledding hill. It starts out with a short steep drop off, the scariest part, and then glides down through the bitterbrush to the bench. Of course, the bitterbrush can be an obstacle as well. Last year, the challenge was to get to the edge of the bench. I think today I went farther than anyone did last year! More than halfway across the bench. I tried once more but crashed in the bitterbrush. The hard part is the climb back up the hill pulling the sled. That’s the exercise part of the fun.
Luna is thinking, ‘ are you sure about this?’
Part way across the bench at the bottom
Again? You’re going to do that again?
It’s a long ways back up the hill
Look at how much further I went!
That was fun. You know, you are starting resemble me. Are you going to fix dinner now?
In case you are concerned, Luna doesn’t ride in the sled. She runs at full speed behind me.
