Preston, I blush! But I fear it is not the writing but the icy conditions. I recommend YakTrax.

What a wonderful pleasant adventure you had. Your photos are simply great, but I must admit your writing simply knocks me off my feet.

I wish my Grandma had bequeathed me a snowmobile suit. As it is, I must make do with the wonderful little wicker rocker she received for her fourth birthday.

I do have nice insulated snowpants. I have been known to pull those on under the nightgown. That makes quite an effect too.

“No township meeting is a success unless it ends in a solution or a fistfight.” Alas the meeting was, by those lights, not a success. It was, however, an incremental move forward.

“They remind me of my mommy and daddy a hundred years ago.”

Ha, you must have mistaken me for some other old codger. I still have 16 years and seven days before I reach that magic number. It pleases me to know that you have your snowshoes at the ready; I hope the meeting was a success and that you drove home OK.

It hath snown! ha ha… Love the night gown, Gerry. Cute! PS quite often I put Grandma’s snowmobile suit over jammies. It works out well.

I must say the only part of me that got cold was my ankles. I was moving about fairly briskly in pursuit of the Duo, and over my nightgown I wore a coat that looks like nothing so much as a giant black down comforter.

We are burning maple logs at a great rate. Also propane and calories, though the latter probably not at the rate we would wish. You stay warm too!

Yes indeed, a two-dog night, and up to four when both the grand-dogs were visiting. The late lamented Fred was a particularly fine warmer.

I am glad you have a finely-honed appreciation for idiosyncracy.

A two-dog night?

Gerry, I love the way you use words: “snown,” “hared.” Just your post title gave me a good smile. Thanks!
