Let it Snow!

Finally, we got some real snow! Doesn't all this lovely fresh snow just make the winter so much more bearable? It's so lovely and clean-looking, and makes hiking with my dog along the escarpment trails so much more fun. I'll have to find a hill to go sledding on while the snow is still here. And did I mention how much my dog Bertha loves the snow? Well, if not, this is her, helping me do the shovelling this morning...

But don't be fooled, she could never get by in this world without her creature comforts! We tried taking her camping with us once, and while we all sat around a campfire on a cold, damp night, she refused to get out of the van. She may look like a serious dog, but she's really a great big faker...
