Sledding
Just in from a quick sledding excursion with Connor and his friend Garrett and the video camera. Connor was filming -- well, directing, as I was holding the camera -- a best sledding crashes of 2004 movie. A few were truly spectacular.
But it's been a week now and most of the snow from last Sunday is still here. The backyard is still covered, and so are most of the fields between here and work. I haven't see this much snow stay on the ground here in many years, certainly since we moved into this house three years ago. It was so cold earlier this week, 8 below one night, three below the next, and even today didn't warm up much above 35 or so. But next week looks beautifully sunny and warm: in the 40s!
