Our weather is about to get wild
It was in the 50s today and it felt really good. But Tuesday, well, there is a winter storm watch and we are expected to get 6 inches or more! That's what she said! The weather lady on the Rockford tv station, you perverts.
I am looking forward to a good snow. Heavens knows, snow days are of no importance to us anymore.
But I could go snowshoeing if there is enough snow.
Repeating my snowshoe story: (that is something us older folks do quite frequently) Several years ago,,, maybe 15..... I went to Cranfest in Warrens WI. It's a huge flea market/craft show with great cranberry cream puffs. I saw a pair of snowshoes for maybe $15, and I bought them. These are the old style ones and I actually could use them for tennis if I had to.
I enjoy tromping around in the snow, but I have to admit it is hard work. One time I took a thermos full of hot chocolate, went out to Nachusa Grasslands, and snowshoed my way out to a hill. Might have been coyote knob, I don't remember. I sat down on a rock and had a couple of cups of hot chocolate. It was amazing.
I can't do that now, because the bison roam that area.
I have gone into Skare Park several times on my snowshoes but three years ago I broke a strap.
A local guy restrapped them for about $50, which was a lot of money but worth it for the experience. I have gone 3 times since then! It seems to snow, then get bitterly cold, and freeze, making it hard to snowshoe. And there may have been a snow or two where I was sick.
But now...feeling good! Snowshoes ready!
Wednesday may be the day I finally hit the woods on my tennis rackets!
Peace and Love
