The Green Hornet

Remember that sled I bought late last summer?  You thought I was nuts, didn't you???!! 

Well, I know how to pick sleds, believe me! As well as when to buy them!  After all, you want that sled HERE when the first good snowfall comes, not hanging on the wall at Magic Mart! I'm proud of my forward-thinking on this!! My sled was ready to roll.

Hence, I just got in from tackling the big hill out by the south field apple tree, and this sucker is slicker than....okra! 

The first time out of the box, I fairly FLEW down the hill without even making a trail!   With the last sled I always, always had to mash down a trail first.  Not with my Green Hornet! It is F-A-S-T!!

And who was I sledding with?  Nobody but me.  MM hates sledding.  And, I found last year that if I take the two dogs out with me, they spend all their excitement chasing each other and getting in my way, so I made my decision:  sled solo. 

And it was GREAT! This hill is perfect.   Man, the snow was flying off on each side of the sled as I ripped open six inches of white stuff and headed for the woods.  Of course, I can never forget as a child, losing my front teeth to a huge rock during one winter, so I am still a bit leery as I approach large trees and an electric fence.  But (NCMountain Woman) it DOES steer!  You hang a foot over the side, stick out an arm....or simply roll off.  What a machine!! 

So, if the freezing rain doesn't impose its ugly self on us in the next couple of hours, I'll be back at it. Crazy old woman that I am!  Wish you could join me out here, JOTOLR!!

Thanks for stopping by this past week!  It sure has been a  challenge out here at times what with the incredibly low temperatures.  But, as usual, we made it just fine!  I know you were pulling for us!!
Oh, and BTW...I'm taking Friday off this week. 

Have a wonderful weekend

See you Monday!
