They were talking about snow for today and it is here. Looked like a snowman when I finished my hike today. Not a lot of people out, but there were a few. When you have a holiday it brings out more people. Talked to one guy that was cross country skiing. He said the conditions were perfect the last few days. I told him I had not had much luck with my skis when I tried them here because the snow was too wet.
These were some guys I saw on the trail. The snow was not bothering them at all. I think they really liked it.
Paul finally caught up with Judy to let her know about his girlfriend having a daughter Sophia. Obviously your girlfriend having a daughter makes the relationship more complicated, but Paul has a good attitude in, what is meant to be, will be. Makes sense to me.
The snow is really piling up. Time to get out and shovel. It is deep enough, time to get Dave’s snow blower. The snow blower sped up the process, but with the stuff it misses and the extra snow that keeps coming down I needed to go over everything another couple of times.
Worked on the dulcimer for awhile until Judy needed to go to the store. She could not get up the hill. Normally that would have been enough to keep her from going, but we are having Dave, Anna, Chips, and Lynn up for chili. With my four wheel drive it was pretty easy, but a lot of people were having a hard time. Any little hill was a problem if they had to stop.
Everyone liked the chili. Chips saw something I had laying out on the dulcimer and asked about it. so I showed everyone and played them my really one and only Boil (Bile) Them Cabbage Down. I was surprised they applauded when I finished. I kept it to my simplest rendition skipping part B, but I did add the high octave part. Chips had a lot of questions and played with it a little. He has a music book that he said he would let me take a look at that might have some stuff in it for me to play.
Got the word early, no school tomorrow. Got to torture Judy until Mad River finally called off.
Everyone headed home and I watched a little TV and worked some more on my guitar fingering. It’s getting better, but still a long way to go.
