Sledding

One of the great joys of winter in Vermont is definitely whizzing down hills on pieces of plastic. We went out for Nick's brithday to a sledding hill in Plainfield with an awesome view of the cold mountains, tucked up against Spruce mountain and looking out to Camel's Hump. The wind whipped up and it was probably 20 below zero. I made a quick trip to Rainbow Sweets in Marshfield for reinforcements: chocolate (real) cherry cake, walnut caramel torte, almond merengue tortlettes and something like a Sainte Anne-Siere, a towering fluffy mass of flakey biscuit, whipped cream and pastry puff balls dipped in crystalized caramel and filled with creme patesserie... We sledded til the sun went down, and rocked the hill!
