So the girls and I went skiing today (surprise!). But I didn't take photos for you guys because I was feeling lazy, and cold-weather photo-taking is really quite a painful process. I have to stop, plant my poles in the ground, then take off my mittens. The liners of my mittens then, quite annoyingly, turn inside-out. Then I have to dig the camera out from where it is tucked into my arm pit. Then I have one or maybe two shots before the battery gets too cold and the camera dies. In my one or two shots, I may or may not get a cute photo of the girls, or a nice photo of a bit of scenery. Then I have to tuck the camera back into my arm pit, and re-align the liners of my mittens into them. The thumbs are a particular pain in the honker. So no outdoor photos today. But I can assure you, the girls are still adorable, joyful, and happy to run as fast as they can!
When I got home, though, I felt remorseful and snapped this for you:
A rare photo! The girls lounging in bed! I love how Linden sleeps with her feeties all tucked together. Millie is grooming herself.

i stillhave never seen a pictureof you skijoring.
do you use the outhouse at -35?
Yeah, as for your camera freezing up, there should be a way to store the batteries in your armpit and have a long umbilical cord to your camera. Except for the servos that control the zoom and maybe the lens cover, the camera would probably work great in the freezing temps as long as the battery was kept warm. hmmmmm....hey, you're an engineer - can't you macGyver something?
I really should think of you more before I start whining about the Kentucky cold! :P
Don't take pictures for ANYONE when it is soooo cold out there and it is too much work to take pictures. Be safe, be warm and have fun. Don't run just for the dogs, be safe.
I actually hardly use the outhouse at all. I just squat and pee anywhere, haha. As for #2, I tend to go in the middle of the day, which is when I'm on campus. Sorry, was that TMI? Well, you asked.
