We took advantage of the beautiful winter weather to go for a short family hike in the Arb today. The girls walked and rode in the sled, Shannon ran on her snowshoes (which were used for the first time in years), I pulled the sled and pushed it down the hills. A few skiers and another hiker trooped by, the towering pines were austerely gorgeous, and the snow blanketed everything.
Outings like this one make me glad for winter. And afterwards, what's better than a little reading in a cushion house?
