After some fantastic late fall hikes in New Hampshire we are spending a few weekends in Connecticut. Sheri has been recovering from abdominal surgery (nothing serious, but a slow recovery) and Bruno has been taking care of the pets, the garden and Sheri.
We are grateful for all of the encouragement, gifts, cards and well wishes for Sheri's speedy reocovery. Special thanks to DiAnn and Mike for the lovely plant and flower display and the fresh fruit bouquet!
Sheri has enjoyed two books from our friend Denise. Grandma Gatewood's Walk tells the story of the first woman to hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine at age 65. She then then repeats the walk two more times. The second book, Following Atticus, is the story of Tom Ryan and his miniature schnauzer Atticus as they hike the forty-eight 4000 footers in the White Mountains in all four seasons. Both are inspiring reads and make us eager to get on the trails be it on foot, ski or snowboard!
It has been nice to spend time at home with the cats and enjoying some warm sunny skies. The garden is winding down and Bruno had been tidying things up for winter so that in the first warm day in spring we can start planting.

Hary is a good companion for the patient
Colorful flowers are welcome this time of year!
