Reel de Skieurs

Well, I hope skieurs means skiers in some language because that's what we did this afternoon! The weather this weekend has been perfect for outdoor fun in the sun. Mild temperatures and a nice new coating of snow have made the trails out back perfect for snowshoes (yesterday) and cross country skis (today). The hard under-crust gives plenty of support so we didn't have to work all that hard to break trails from our house to the snowmobile tracks out back. The snowmobile trails are well networked so you can probably go just about anywhere- we just went up to the top of Oak Hill where we were treated to a fabulous view looking out over Hales Pond. The best part of the trip was the trip down hill! The snow was a little slow, but it was still a lot of fun to be coasting down over the hills with a breeze at my face.
The snow on Friday kept us in. The back roads are still pretty chunky and rough, and with new snow on top we decided we'd stay home which meant we didn't get out to the Whitefield dance. Bummer. That's one of my favorite dances, and three years ago, it's where Richard and I got to talk and renew our very casual friendship (and you see where that has led!).
Reel de Skieurs comes from The Portland Collection. I haven't ever played it, and don't recall seeing the name before so I'll have to check it out!
