It was a brisk, sunny 21 degrees when we started. There was snow on the ground. Wind was from the north and the pressure was rising. We made a big loop up to Tim Browns and back via the hog farm but the day was blank. The woods were silent, nothing was moving. It only warmed up to 25 degrees. Jean’s hot chili certainly hit the spot afterwards.
