Schools were closed today, so I spent an hour shoveling with the kids. Then Nicholas went sledding with some friends and Alexa and I went cross country skiing around Horn Pond for an hour-and-a-half. It was almost magical; totally silent, trees bent under the snow and everything white and fresh. Michael stayed in and did homework.
Unfortunately, no one considers cross country skiers around here. The plows clear the paths leaving nowhere for the skiers. And by the time we returned, people had tramped over our parallel ski track instead of walking next to it.
Tomorrow I'm going backcountry skiing with George and Rob at Mt Garfield in NH.
