Boston Science Museum
When we were in Massachusetts I took the grandkids to the Boston Museum of Science. They have lots of great interactive exhibits and the children loved it - I was intrigued with this feature, which clearly shows the internal structures of waves.
But everybody's favorite was the lightning show.
Of course there's a kite being hit by lightning...
...and somebody climbs in the cage while it's struck by lightning!

Boston, Summer
Rather than post a photo of the 15 inches (38 cm) of fresh snow we got since this morning, here's a warmer photo of Boston last summer for Skywatch Friday.

Another Great Ski Day
The calendar may say spring, but I went skiing again yesterday - there's been two feet of new snow at the ski areas in the last week so the conditions were great on the mountain (although the powder was skied off). And there weren't any crowds - I didn't wait in a lift line once!
Let's go down this trail and see what it looks like.
Steep! (If you don't know about trail signs, a double-diamond is an expert-only run.)
I'll never tire of mountain views in the winter, and where better to get them than on the slopes?
Final statistics according to my GPS watch: 31.8 miles (51.2 km) covered including chairlift rides, maximum speed 33.84 MPH (54.46 kph). And lots of space to move!

Snowy Dogs
We had a little snow yesterday, but these photos are from a few weeks ago when we had a big storm. Socks doesn't mind the snow - he's got the fur coat for it. I call him my winter dog.
But Laika is built for hot weather - she's my summer dog. It's unfortunate for her that she lives 7,100 feet (2.1 km) above sea level where it frequently snows!
