Icing on the cake
Lest anyone imagine that the winter is over, a two-inch cloudburst put an end to said delusion. I certainly wasn't unhappy about the addition to the snow pack, and as far as I was concerned, the relatively dry powder just added more icing to the cross-country skiing cake. In honor of the Sochi Olympics, I did some exploring along my track in the woods. I imagined myself an Olympian, leading the pack for a ski marathon gold medal. The truth, of course, is quite different, but however modest my skiing prowess, I do not lack for enthusiasm. That and the fact that I can still get out there enables me to at least record what I see during my plods through the woods.
