Yesterday, Keene Valley enjoyed its first Snow Day of the year ... receiving about a foot of beautiful snow. The schools and some businesses were closed, but far from feeling "trapped inside," the hearty North Country people hit the slopes and trails with gusto! (Even though it was only 7 degrees out!)
In fact, the day ended with the "High Holy Day of the Groundhog"/Blizzard Celebration potluck at the community church. Despite the cold, the snow, and what would anywhere else be considered "treacherous" roads, an impressive number of townfolk came bearing beautiful food and joyful smiles. Keene Valley loves a Snow Day!!
During the heart of the storm, CorrieAnne and I took our dog, Bella, and the camera and went for a little walk to capture some of the beauty.

The Snow Goose living up to the "Snow" part of her name!
Route 73 lay snowy and eerily silent
The Ausable River, grey-green and sluggish, winds a path through the falling snow.
Rosy noses ... snowy smiles
Doesn't this just make you want to book a weekend winter retreat?!
Cutting across the field to come home. See that little snowy nose peeking out of the snow in front of CorrieAnne? That's one very exhausted little dog, Bella! MUSH!!!
The day after brings blue skies and bright sun ... the soft burble of the water, the crunch of the snow ... the joy of being alive.

Hi Wayne and Amy and girls! I love seeing your photos! Sodie and CorrieAnn are just beautiful. The snow pictures were pretty, also. A friend of mine was telling me that she was up in the Lake Placid area recently. I mentioned that we had friends who owned a B and B called the Snow Goose. She said she saw your sign!!! I told her you guys are really nice so hopefully they will consider staying with you the next time they are in Keene!
