Snow far, snow bad...

*sigh*...This has been a very sad winter as far as snow has been concerned. I took this photo this morning to capture the extent of the snowfall we've had this year. My poor cross-country skis are just sitting quietly in the corner, waiting to be used. I feel sorry for them. I almost feel like I'm keeping some animal in a foreign environment, one that they're not accustomed to. Maybe I should release my skis into the wild where they can travel north to where there is snow and they can run free with their wild brothers...

...or Mother Nature could do us all a favor and give us a couple weeks of continuous snow...
