This is exactly what I did on Tuesday after I had Ecology! I took met up with Emily, put my snow boots on and set off to enjoy the sunshiney day! It was an interesting walk because while the snow was most packed, occasionally one foot would catch you by surprise and sink down into the snowy depths of the field. It was a very pleasant walk, full of conversation about goats, chickens, plastic water bottles, next fall/spring, and riding. We traveled all the way down the avenue of the elms (which aren't all elms, the little liars) to the road with the horse barn on it. (This is why we were talking about riding.) We wanted to visit the barn but thought it might be weird to drop in when we didn't know anyone so we just traveled back the way we came.
Exciting discoveries: We found some splendid fungi growing on one of the trees like a mini staircase that had really a intricate underside. Emily and I also found some excellent dead burdocks that I took with me to put in my dead flowers/weeds/fern arrangement. It's pretty, I swear!
Emily and I also found a huge puddle that had iced over into a rather large "skating rink" so we had a blast skating around in our boots on the slippery surface. Wish I had gone ice skating for real this semester!
