Our second winter storm of the year has passed, and we were able to enjoy some lovely mornings out in the snow. The Cape has slightly milder weather than the rest of the surrounding area, and as far as the northeast goes, this winter has been quite tolerable with temperatures are generally five degrees warmer than in Boston.
Ten degrees feels like summer with calm air and sunny skies. We set out one morning to try to retrieve a certain
giant horseshoe crab shell that the puppy dug up the previous day during our snow romp. With me on skis, I wasn't able to easily transport it back, but the following day I had two partners in adventure.
There was one to transport the horseshoe crab molt...
And another who wanted to toss it about...
Along a different trail, there was a new discovery! Another huge molt.
We ended up taking only the original find back with us, and it is now drying out in front of the window.
There may not be a whole "going on" on the Cape during the winter, but the simpler life is enjoyable for the time being.
