Okay, I know, I’ve been the slacking blogger lately. Originally I thought that I’d be home much earlier yesterday, but with the crazy weather, plans changed. In case you were wondering, yes, it was warm and pouring rain on Monday at Jiminy Peak. It was monsoon-like. We took a walk that morning and it was … [Read more…]
