Today we had more snow and cold weather, so I didn't get to go anywhere. I really wouldn't have a big problem hiking in a snowstorm, but I have no way to get to any of the nature parks. The problem is driving on the snow filled roads. It gets kind of treacherous.I was actually very tempted to go back to one of my hiking trails, and just walk around enjoying the snowfall. As long as you're dressed warmly, walking in the middle of all that snow can be just as enjoyable as walking in any quiet forest in the warm summertime.
Just one week ago we were experiencing a sort of false spring around here. Everybody hoped it was the real thing, but we all knew it was still way too early. We still have a little over a month before we start to see the first signs of spring around here.
I mentioned last week because I was back out at my new nature park, Carpenter Lake. Unfortunately I didn't have Alice with me this time, but I did get to enjoy the peaceful solitude of the forest. I know that some of you like when I have Alice along, but I can do many more adventurous and dangerous things if she's not there.
That's not to say that I would ever leave her behind if she was with me, but I only see her every few months. I guess it gets hard to leave Wonderland very often when you've chosen to live there permanently. Besides, would you want to leave a place like that for very long?
Oh, but I'm neglecting to tell you about my two pictures of the day. These photos look almost identical, but there are a few differences. The one at the top was from my last visit to Carpenter. They are both shots of my new fancy bridge playground. At the end of it is the fishing platform.If you look at the right side of both photos, you can see in the one at the top that the ice on the lake has begun to melt. It was like that all over the park that day. Nobody would foolishly walk out on that lake now. Maybe only something as small as a rabbit would be safe out there.
These photos are just to give you a preview of what I did that day, and I really like the photos very much. Don't worry though, I still have a few last stories of Alice's latest visit for you. I just held them back so I would have them in reserve for you. I guess the most interesting story is what happened to make Alice not want to go back out there the next day.

ReplyDeletey do we have to do this word thing after the comments?
ReplyDeleteKayli - I'm the only one who can delete comments on here permanently, because I'm the owner of the site. It can't be done by anyone else. Only I can do it.
ReplyDeleteI don't have your email, and you're better off not giving it out to anyone. I don't need anybody's email to delete their comments here. I control everything on here, but the only information I get from anybody that comments here is their public blogger profile or their website address.

Rainfield - I think rain can be every bit as bad as snow sometimes. Alice might laugh, but I think she likes rain.

Alston - Thank you very much, Alston.

Anonymous Kayli - Try to think of school as a great adventure. I didn't like school either, but I learned everything I could. If you try to learn more than everyone else, you might grow up to be the very smartest person, And that would be the coolest thing ever.
Kayli - You delete them faster than I can answer them! You have to do the word thing so that I can keep most of the bad people off of this site. The word thing is there to confirm that you are a really want to make a comment. Ok, I'm done for awhile.
ReplyDeleteI just hate to learn.
ReplyDeleteOk
ReplyDeleteIs Alice having a good time in wonderland? She is lucky.
ReplyDeleteJust cold, windy and sunny here..
ReplyDeleteHi Ratty- Yes, we have the snow too. Not so blizzardy today though. I confess that I'm beginning to look forward to seeing that scene you've shown us wearing green with the water bubbling beneath the platform.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
ReplyDeleteKayli - You say you hate to learn, but you seem smart for your age. I'm assuming you're close to the same age as Alice(Don't say yes or no about it). Let's see how smart you are. What I need in my comments section is intelligent opinions about each post I write. See if you can write a nice long opinion about the posts you comment on. That will be a FUN way to learn, and it will show everyone here how smart you are. It will also help me, because it will be almost like an extra addon to my posts. Your comments have been good so far, so you only have to do it if and when you want to.
ReplyDeleteKayli - I don't know what Alice has been doing, because I haven't seen her since her last visit.
ReplyDelete-
Steve - We're cold and windy, but not sunny.

Sharkbytes - It's been blizzarding off and on here today. Lots of snow, but it doesn't seem to accumulate. I'm trying to embrace the winter, but it seems to be testing me greatly.
Ratty you are a person of infinite patience!
ReplyDeleteIts good to see(from the photos) that the winter is still gripping you guys. Blame the groundhog.
Its been very hot here lately and I would trade a hike in the snow at the moment believe it or not.
yes, i can tell the difference between two pictures, because you explained, otherwise, they both look identical. Hope you continue to hold on to your patience, 1 1/2 month hopefully will go fast.
ReplyDeleteMike - I wouldn't say infinite patience, but there are those things that we don't have a choice but to be patient.
ReplyDeleteWinter almost let go of us, but then revealed that it was just teasing.
A hike in the snow can be refreshing at times, especially when it's hot. When summer gets here, I'll probably be moaning about wanting winter back, just like I've been saying about summer now.:)

Betchai - They were very similar days, but the one with more melted water was just a little further along in our short false spring. 1 1/2 months is almost no time at all. Spring is really just around the corner.
