Last winter we found a fox den not far from the trails at Kilowatt. For the last couple of weeks, we have been watching the kit foxes playing and sunning themselves.

Winter with the dogs +
I’ve spent the winter walking with the dogs at Kilowatt Park and Maxfield Sports Center in Hartford, VT.
Sophia has taken Jesper’s ball. 
Friends 
Sara’s pack is good at sit/stay. 
Kathie Coburn and Hochi walk across a field at Maxfield. 
Bear and Cali play. 
Birdie and Gracie like to race.
And a few other favorites.

Fall 2018
After a delightful paddle on Canadian Thanksgiving, the weather turned cold and we put the kayaks away for the winter.
For the most part the fall colors in the Upper Valley were muted.
We had a white Thanksgiving,
and the Connecticut was ice covered by mid December.

We are still kayaking, though more in the afternoons and are still seeing wildlife; some migrant and some resident.

We have been out a few times this week, on the Connecticut River and the Pompy. (North Hartland Lake is closed for the season.)
We saw a few mammals, great blue herons, mallards, mergansers, some turtles, and a hornets’ nest.
