Polar vortex moonlit night hike with the dogs. In the winter I love a beautiful, crisp evening stroll. I find that the moonlight guides the path almost as bright as daylight. I have been walking through this particular patch in Branford since 1986. At the moment, I think it's probably 6° out. However, i'm quite conditioned to the elements in any extreme. I am able to stay outside and manage our farm appropriately with our animal's best interest in mind. With Education and good homesteading practices for New England and all its beautiful 4 seasons our lifestyle is best suited for our family.
