Several storms over a 24-hr period left us
      blanketed in a foot of glorious snow!
	  Friends called to say they were heading out
	  to snowshoe in Long Canyon. With so little
	  moisture this winter, our snowshoes have
	  been gathering dust (next to our cross-country
      skis), so it seemed a perfect opportunity
	  to bring them out.
	  They looked so beautiful; leaning against the
      end of the woodpile...I had to make a quick
	  decision. Take them out on the trail; or stay
	  here, and paint...you can tell which won.
