aw nuts

at first, when I walked by this little pile on the boardwalk, I thought someone had thrown up. But no, it’s just a pile of nuts, seeds and dried fruits. Maybe it’s for the gulls? or the pigeons? No idea.

parking lot

This car has been parked at the library for weeks. Not cool–the snowbanks have already eliminated a number of spaces, so it’s more difficult than usual to find a spot. I mentioned it to someone and she sort of shrugged. Useful.

snowpile

Doug and I went snowshoeing today for the first time this season.  Part of the trail was still fresh so we had to break it–no easy task. The snow has a crust on top now, and while the snowshoes keep you from sinking in up to your hip, you still sink in a bit, so it was tough going. But still fun and a good workout.

Our walk came to an end when we reached this obstacle.
