After 8. That means I am home from the gym, dishes washed, laundry done, etc.. then I am working while watching TV- so sad football season is coming to an end.
Taking care of our 3 dogs they are always looking for attention. Not much else to do in the winter in you don't like snow around here.
My parents have a mutt (we think she's a Sheltie/Shepard cross) who just
loves the snow! They live on 26 acres of trees with a huge pond and 2 streams to cross over before you reach the edge of the property. Walking in the woods is a daily occurence for them, but with winter, it does get a little tough. Skiis would be good except that for all of the sharps twists and turns on the path, so I'm thinking of getting them snowshoes. They're doing wonderful things with those nowadays...no more wood frames and gut strings! Lightweight aluminium frames and I've seen a variety of materials used to hold it all together.
Thankfully, there's also two local ski hills when I get the craving to stretch my legs and don't want to drive 2 hours north of Toronto. The locals aren't much...more like big speed bumps than mountains...but it gives me the chance to just get my ski legs back.
It's been too warm this winter for my parents pond to freeze over.
But in the past it has, and a group of us go skating and then light a bonfire (on land, of course!) for hot dogs, baked taters, marshies, and s'mores.
They could probably do syrup in the spring, but having done that before...it's not worth the effort! I'll buy it...too much work is required to make it!
