It was Sunday, the Monkey with his dad. Rollins was being naughty because he was bored; barking, chewing on my shirt sleeves, chasing the cat and begging to go out every 5 minutes. It was supposed to be snowing, the forecast called for 'partly cloudy skies with snow showers' but I looked out - it was sunny and 35 degrees.
I put on my snow boots and grabbed the leash. We were going for a walk.
Not far from my house is a set of power lines. I've blogged about them before, they run Northeasternish to Southwesternish and are used heavily in the winter as a snowmobile passage as part of the ITS or the Interconnected Trail System as a highway to Sebago Lake. Rollins and I took the trek down the road to hit the trail and I almost wish I had grabbed my snowshoes, but the trail was packed down well enough and the snowmobilers were few and far between. It was an enjoyable walk on a sunny (snowy) day and I actually worked up a bit of a sweat on our 4 mile trip.
Needless to say, Rollins is sleeping peacefully in the big frumpy chair. My work here is done.

Mr. Obnoxious prior to the walk. I know, he needs exercise!
Can't you get him out of here? Jeez, he's a pest!
Proof that we made it to the other road ;)
The winter version of Wild Asters
Rollins does some trail breaking
Looks like deer have passed through here
Sleuthing, doggy style
A well broken path that runs....
Right to a well scraped branch, just antler height....
Imagine that someone would put a tree stand directly on the other side!
Still a few Winterberries for the birds
Looks like someone is dragging their belly a little
Fox tracks, most likely
Mooom! Are you still taking pictures? C'mon!
Looks like a deer on the run
Yep, that was a good trip
My work here is through.
