Nice day.. not much going on. We finished our latest puzzle before breakfast
What does that say about our pandemic weekends that finishing a puzzle is big news. ?!
We got out for about 2.5 hours today on snowshoes . It was Annapolis know that cut the crunch out of that ice layer we got the other day. We hiked up the vast trail and then headed north on the long trail. We had dropped some weight points there the last time we did it in reverse so we picked a place and headed down a steep decline and bushwhacked half a mile down the hill see our favorite cabin… And intercept another trail we knew going back. Even though our track was less than 4 miles ,
It was pretty intense up and down. At one point I fell into snow up to my hips… Diane had to help me dig out so I can get my snowshoes out. It’s still pretty amazing out there
That’s about it for today… Heading to bed. More tomorrow !
Today or good friend Deb brought over the new version of Sam Scones . SamStones are a “cook it yourself” Scone mix with a SamStones inside each bag… The packaging is really beautiful. Deb and a Hamnah have built their company Douglas Sweets up from nothing to a shortbread phenomena . Their stuff is sold all over the place through local stores and national outlets like Whole Foods . As part of their mission, they’ve decided to create SamScones as a fundraising project for the Sam Cohn foundation Which we started to support causes that Sam loved like music, snowboarding, summer camps.… Every time someone buys a bag of Sam scones from Douglas Sweets Deb and Hanna donate the profits to the Sam Cohn foundation
We so appreciate everything that Deb and Hannah have done for our family…
SamStones such a wonderful idea. Thank you Deb thank you Hannah thank you Douglas Sweets ! We love you !
I took a very fun 10 minute break today to watch the perseverance Mars rover land.
I’m not that much of a space night besides growing up in Houston during the height of the space race.… Well the technology is certainly cool… But really fascinated me was to watch the emotions of the ground crew. It was so much fun to see them succeed and see their great relief and excitement at the project. We all need a burst of that wonderful feeling when something works
Dianne and I tried to slip out today for normal Wednesday snowshoe… Unfortunately the storm that came on Monday and Tuesday that was supposed to bring us a foot of snow only brought us a couple of inches and then just enough sleet to make the snow hardest concrete.… We tried snowshoeing around the new Richmond town for us but the crust made it uncomfortable and
Very loud to snowshoeing.… If your foot broke through your shin got caught by the ice. Heck. If only it had been a couple of degrees cooler we would still have a couple of feet of fluffy snow. I hope we get a new batch soon because it’s been the best season in years for being outside
One silver lining is that there were some cool natural snow sculptures out there Made from the interesting weather
