1/20/11 WE'RE OFF AGAIN

BRR....

COMING SOON

FLOODING THE SKATING RINK

WE'LL MISS THE SLED DOG RACES
Thursday, 8:30 AM.  3 degrees, wind W, light to moderate.  The sky is overcast, the Island obscured and a very fine, crystalline snow is falling.  Our morning walk was invigorating.
    We are heading to Madison today for tomorrow’s quarterly Urban Forestry Council meeting and then on to Texas to visit Dutch, Leslie and three-year old granddaughter Allison Eleanor.  After  some time in Texas we will drive to Denver to visit Eva, Doug, Nickolas and Katie and then back to Bayfield.  We are taking the Chevy truck, it’s ride suits our old bones and the automatic four-wheel drive is great for winter driving.
    We will unfortunately be missing the dog sled races (Feb 4th and 5th, come if you can) and whatever other excitement comes Bayfield’s way in the next several weeks. The Blue Moon Ball, a funky,   dress-up “prom” dance, which is not  usually our cup of tea, also is coming up. The ice rink at Reiten Park has been flooded and is open for skating.
    I hope to do some blogs in Texas and Colorado, and in between, so keep clicking!
