Fresh Pond Reservation

Snowing, blowing, shopping at Bread & Circus. 25 degrees. We pass two people with their Bernase Sauce dogs (who resemble the shape of smaller Saint Bernards, but have distinctive coloring, black, brown, white), three runners pass us going the other way. Otherwise, nobody. On the way back it would be very dark except that the snow causes all remaining light to be spread around. On the other hand, the snow is thick enough so that bright lights on the opposite side of the pond are not visible. On leaving the store I tell Cynthia how this kind of weather reminds me of growing up in Wyoming--except that Massachusetts is a kind of mild version of that state. The dog is an Australian Blue Healer--and a regular visitor to Fresh Pond.
