Winter In Australia

Today is the so-called first day of summer in the northern hemisphere. At the same time, it is the first day of winter in the southern hemisphere. So, in honour of winter in Australia, here are some pictures of some friends from Australia who visited here in early April.

Here we are about to leave the kennel. Ghost and Walnut in lead, Gravity and Charge in swing, and Coconut and Raisin in wheel. The snow level is five and a half feet (1.7 meters).

Fred and Joyce out on the trail. Note the hooded raincoat that Joyce was wearing. She got the prize for best dressed as we got rained on while we were out! Thunder and lightning and the whole works! We had fun, though. There is nothing quite like warm weather mushing.
