Winter's not so much fun when it's too cold to go out

Jackson and I had been walking the Rail Trail for about 45 minutes a day -- until the weather got cold. The Trail is only about a long block away, and more often than not, during the week, he and I were the only ones on the trail, except for an occasional deer. I've been able to let him off the leash, which he truly loves. I keep thinking of Forest Gump when I'm out there with him. "Run, Forest, Run!!!," I shout.

Just 109 days now until our campsite opens up for the season. That would be 15.57 weeks, but who's counting....
