We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
William Ralph Inge (1860-1954)

Snowshoes and blueberry muffins.






What an incredibly gorgeous day! Blue, blue sky stretching from here to forever and the sun shining so brightly! Cold but great after warming up from the strenuous uphill walk on our new snowshoes. A casual stroll on a summer day but when there is two feet of soft snow it is no longer so but takes a serious and sustained effort with lots of little stops to catch ones breath. We had such a nice walk and came back feeling entirely worn out. Yessiree, got our excercise today. But what kept us going was the thought of having a nice coffee and my fresh baked blueberry muffins.
