Winter is here............will he stay???

 So far since Thanksgiving we have had snow intermittently and it is still here out on the ground!!  It has been just enough to keep us from having to run the dogs on frozen dirt and has saved their feet............not quite enough to pack but Randy did even the snow out once or twice using the pipe drag -   we are going 24 miles now and traveling out to the trail that goes around Ready and Rainy lakes - the most beautiful part of the training trails in my estimation - the dogs are still very happy to get harnessed and run and come back without breathing hard at all!

We did find a Christmas tree from one of the trees that were going to end up coming down over the trail so that has taken up much of my time since Sunday!!!  Though I don't have all of my ornaments and decorations from home, I have accumulated things that are special to our home in the UP and enjoy seeing them again each of the 4 years we have been here for the holidays.

Randy just communicated with Greg Janders near Escanaba and he is going to be putting liver in the beef that we order and mixing it and putting it in the square buckets that we have the fit under the floor in the dog part of the trailer - so that's lining up food for the rest of the dog racing season=  I also means that we will be going thru Escanaba again in a week or so and that means stops at Aldi's and Walmart!!!  Places that I can get foods and cheaper that around here!!
