Groundhog's Day

It is about 60F/14 C today with blue skies and sun. Tomorrow: another 2-4 inches of snow is predicted. I guess the groundhog did see his shadow today and we will have six more weeks of winter.

In the meantime, we decided to take advantage of the warmer weather and take Stirling for a nice, long walk in the woods.

We went to the usual watering hole along the Archibald trail to discover that it was frozen over. 

Stirling walked into the ice as if it was no big deal. It gave us courage to try as well.

We continued along the muddy path and found another part of the creek frozen over that was a nice 

runway for Stirling. 

Will stood at one end and me at the other, and Stirling running and slipping between us.
