Stormy Weather with Keri

I knew Susan was going to try to get out on her trusty AhD (Didder) so after I shoveled about eleventy-seven feet of snow off my shed roofs... Keri and I went for a quick spin. After walking through hip deep snow - I needed a jog to loosen my tension .. and after those struggling strolls through the snow with the roof rake and shovel - I decided.. I was not going to ask Keri to do it. We'll stick to the road. Susan and I don't get a chance to ride together much - with the distance between us.

I think it was colder and more snowy on Tuesday when we had the "pre-storm" storm.  We did get a LOT of snow though - I wonder how long it is going to take those snow sledders to get out and pack those trails down. Today Zoe and I were slated to be dropped off at the end of Lovers Lane in Chester for her birthday ride - which is a beautiful scenic road for riding along - but it is closed in the winter-- snowmobiles only. We had to re-schedule because of this storm.  I knew the snow would be DEEP.
She even re-scheduled all her Thursday lessons to other time slots so we could have a nice long trip.

Last year on Zoe's birthday - I posted a photo I took during morning feeding of a snow rainbow --

Had to try one 'artsy' shot ... Keri is a good girl to take me out for a stormy jog.. mostly, if she is not missing a meal - she's happy to go. Keri and I have been aging 'gracefully' together now - so we have learned to never question each other much but rather humor each other, allowing for those occasional senior moments and acts of silliness.  :)


I was lucky - as I was returning - a friend came by to make sure I was not stuck up on a roof or in a snowbank :) I asked him to snap a photo of me.

I think there is an almost identical photo of me and Keri from last year... I guess we don't change that much over 12 months time... other than our outerwear perhaps.

I always miss Zoe when I venture out by myself... Keri is a somewhat silent riding partner - she listens but .. not quite the same :)

Unless we stay to the snowmobile trails -- there won't be much for woods trail riding this year I guess. This storm dumped another foot or more... yikes.

Enjoy ~
