c North Country. week 22. part 2.

c,
You probably noticed my new winter gear! C's mom bought it for me at a Christmas Bizarre here in the North Country. Now I am warm, toasty and fashionable. Now if only I could get some winter shoes.

C North Country. week 22. c's first HIKE

Big C here. I decided to narrate this post because c scared the heck out of me.
B and I decided to take c on her first hike (in the snow!).
Solely the sound of snow crunching beneath our feet and not another person for miles. However, while B and I were listening to a woodpecker, trying to locate him in the trees above, c disappeared! She was no longer on the path.
My heart started to race. She is pretty darn small, basically a city girl with no wood smarts and there she was off in the wilderness alone. AND I recently read that there is a new breed of coywolves out in the north country. Coyotes bred with wolves that are out attacking people (well ok, one person, but still pretty scary).
Then we noticed some mini footprints leading off the path into the woods.

There she was. Oh that c! She said she wanted to climb a mountain.
B held her hand the rest of the hike.
c certainly has a taste for adventure!

c North Country. week 22. my very first...

SNOW!!!

It is cold, wet, in your face and I did not have proper winter attire!
C has promised to make me a winter coat, but has yet to complete it.
So here we are up north in snow country and I have on summer mary janes and no jacket.
First C tried to get me to wear a sock (inspired by your life jacket) and then she put me in this ridiculous sleeve of a sweater (which greatly limits my mobility). However, once I got myself situated, and my head covered, I realized snow can be quite lovely. I like being all snuggly in myself and watching it fall around me.

Solitude of snow.
Not sure if I want to go back to the city. Maybe I will be c of the North Country forever!

c Airborne. week 21. thanksgiving travels.

Dear c and friends!
Today I fell asleep in Chelsea's bag and woke up on an airplane!
I do not know how I got through O'hare's security with their new full body scans and pat downs (which I have heard so much about lately!) without waking up.
All I know is that I woke up, looked around, and found myself in an airplane full of people.
Looking out the window all I saw was white white white.
Chelsea assured me I was in air, but I was not convinced..
An hour or so later a bit of land was revealed. Clouds make shadows! l New York City appeared! wow. and I heard it was so big. looks just my size.
I think I like air travel. I would like to try out space travel next!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a turkey in a barrel. C told me she misses whatever that is very much and now realizes that was her favorite vacation of the whole year every year.

gobble gobble,
c
