Not to say it isn't gorgeous here, and not to say the idea of snuggling up in front of a Vermont castings gas stove or a woodburning fireplace isn't a terrific way to spend a cold, or even cool, winter weekend, but here in southern Vermont we've had less than half the snow we normally expect this time of year, and some days half of our meadow -- part of a groomed cross-country ski trail -- is covered in: GRASS.</p>
