More Snow...

We had some more snow last night. :) It was falling pretty good for quite some time...but by the time I went to bed we started to see more rain than anything. I got a bit over excited and turned all of the outside lights on so we could watch the white stuff fall...it really got me in the mood for some outdoor stuff.

Before the snow can stick we have a few things to finish up outside. I have a row of wood to cover, some more lawn furniture to put away and LOTS of leaves need to fall to be picked up yet. It is a bit depressing knowing that we probably over two months before the actual riding will happen. Last year when the trails opened on December 1st we were able to ride. I am really hoping for the same this year. :D

In other news...today was the first day that the ORV ordinance was in place. I took my first legal ride down the road! Sadly, I injured myself in the first five minutes. I met a car and pulled over to talk for a few minutes. I dropped my goggles and bent down to grab them. My hand slid down the side of the four wheeler and a sharp piece of plastic tore the skin behind my thumbnail off. OUCH. It hurt...hurts a lot. I looked at my hand a moment after leaving the car behind...blood was running down my thumb and down my wrist. I was like "you have got to be kidding me..." Unfortunately, there was no kidding. I turned around and headed home. A quick bandaging and I was good to go. I did not though...I figure I will wait until this weekend to do some riding. :)

Enough from me for now...my creative juices just are not flowing tonight. :P

Goodnight from Northern Michigan!
