Enough!

"Enough of this staying in the house," I said to myself.

So I put on my snow pants, my extra warm boots and my warmest gloves, picked up my trekking poles, and drove to the park to way by the Rum River.  I saw tracks of animals commuting from Ramsey to Andover and vice versa.

I saw rose hips on the riverside.

Except for the drumming of woodpeckers, not a single bird was seen or heard.

The temperatures have been cold all weekend but there is still open water on the Rum river.

After an hour of hiking I was very happy to see my car again. Brrrr!
