The Long Walk

This afternoon it suddenly seemed like winter might have lost its grip on the land here. We were able to go walking down a road with no snow in sight and I found myself shedding a layer at mile two. We had a splendid late noon lunch with Daniel and Maria, their son Samuel, and our friend Liesbeth. In between the courses, we decided to make the most of the weather, hence the walk. Tua ran most of the way. Highlights included a pair on horseback (Percherons at 25 hands, I'd say) who stopped and let Tua stroke the mane. Shortlived it was, though. We had scarce returned home before the temperature returned to 25 and the North wind blew in more snow showers.
