Slip Slidin' Along

Our little library seems to be holding steady in this white and slippery winter.  However, we humans are having to be oh so careful.  It seems that every winter I have one spectacular fall.  I'm amazed it hasn't happened yet this year given the snow-melt-freeze cycles we have repeatedly experienced.  Yesterday was one of the melt days, today we awoke to temps in the teens and about 1/4 inch of snow covering yesterday's melt/today's ice.  Tricky going.  So tricky, in fact, even Taz pup's feet slid out from under him as he rounded a bend on the trail we were running (yes, a snow-packed trail topped with a thick layer of ice, topped with that very light invisibility cloak of snow).  My hope is that we get another 4 inches of snow today so that the ice camouflaged as snow will truly be a nice soft grippy layer of real deal snow for tomorrow's early morning run.

I am oh so tired of running on this stuff.  But! Still runnin'!
