However, I try to regard all of this rain as a "positive" as I know the forests have been so very dry, and the rivers so depleted from the past several hot, dry summers. I may not care much for the rain, but it has got to be doing some good and helping to restore the watersheds of this region.<br />What kind of snowshoes do you have -- ash and babiche? What kind of maintenance do you like to do on them. I should really get ours out and do a bit now before we need to use them for the first time. Might be a good way to spend a couple of hours while waiting for the rain to stop!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-31108839289623249112006-11-14T09:09:00.000-05:002006-11-14T09:09:00.000-05:00I'm glad you are feeling more serene today, I'd gu...I'm glad you are feeling more serene today, I'd guess some of it was post illness blues. I like to have the proper weather for each season and I tend, on the whole, to enjoy whatever comes. Unseasonal weather bothers me though, it is still increibly mild here and only in the last 3 or 4 days has it started to really look like November. I discovered some primulas flowering in my garden a couple of days ago and I find that vaguely unsettling.<br />Bilbo isn't an anything though he has a lot of both pointer and weimerana in him. He was a rescue dog from the RSPCA, I got him when he was 8 months old as 'a bonehead, his owners couldn't control him'. It took me 6 months of training and an hour's run in the woods twice a day to turn him into a really super dog - he was simply young and not getting enough attention or exercise. Someone missed out on a really good dog. And he is pretty handsome isn't he? Most people think he's pure breed of some sort.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
