Good news: It was beautiful today, and plenty of just enough fluffy snow.
Bad news: I had to go alone because my Valentine is far away this year.
Good news: I did bring Chipper, who is good company in his own way.
Bad news: Chipper would not have been able to protect me from coyotes or bobcats (both of which have been observed in the neighborhood lately).
Good news: We did not see any coyotes or bobcats (or even any people, for that matter).
Bad news: When you haven't gone snowshoeing in a year, you forget how to walk so that you don't flip chunks of snow up from the back of your snowshoes onto your butt as you walk.
Good news: See note re no people above, so at least I wasn't embarrassed.
Bad news: When you go snowshoeing without your glasses on, you may take a picture of your dog not looking at you:
Good news: When you're walking all alone (mostly) in the woods, you can make a lot of progress working out story problems in your head, and even saying it all out loud.
Bad news: When you get home, you realize you still have a lot of work ahead of you.
Good news (because it's always best to end with good news): I think I'm starting to feel my toes again!
