It was a great weekend at the lake. It snowed saturday and sunday after a day of rain, which made it all a bit too slippery to run on, so J and I just went on a long hike every day instead, getting longer each time it seemed. The last one, yesterday, was about 7 Km and took a few hours as we stopped at the Narrows to watch the lake for a while. It was so beautiful out...
Of course I'm sure I ate enough to counteract all that, but it was nice to be out in the forests and just walk, seeing chipmunks, rabbits, prairie chickens and geese...picking the odd wild blueberry as we walked. There was strange snow and frost on things making it all shiney and drippy, but it was only just below 0 with little wind, so perfect for walking. I even got to go hunting for nice orange and red leaves, branches and berries for my Mum as she wanted a thanksgiving centerpiece for the table...that was fun.
There were lots of games and relaxing, and a crowd of 19 over for supper sunday night. Lots of fun, and wine and political debate over pie.
It was nice, and entirely too short.
But it was loverly.
