Abbey and Sasha and I were the only creatures stirring at sunrise. Winter beauty is breathtaking in this country on a morning walk, but with temperatures holding at 7 below zero and the wind still scouring the fields, a half hour hike was our limit. Abbey was willing to go on for miles, but Sasha tumbled into a ridge of snow and said, "That's enough for me!" Back in the warmth of the Clubhouse, we are all considering a late morning nap.
