Winter Wonderland

 Mother nature has out done herself.
I just love how she turned our quiet neighborhood to a winter wonderland.
Sharen and I could not wait to get going on our walk. We did wait till the boys had blown the driveways clear.

Heading out

We didn't wait for the snow plows to come thru. Pretty sure they were all concentrating on the main roads. It brought so many memories of skating and sledding in Lords park when we were little and walking or skating down Forest Drive to get there.

It was cold but it wasn't a "not going to walk" cold. I just don't get how people can't see the wonder of the seasons. This doesn't last long so I say enjoy it.

 I want to put yoga pants under my jeans, 2 pair of socks on my feet,  2 pair of mittens on my hands, my warmest stocking hat, and layer up on t-shirts and sweatshirts and go sledding. 

The only thing I will admit to about this weather is I am enjoying it more now that I am retired and not having to drive in it. That's not fun!

We Walking?

That is a text I either send or get every morning. Usually it's not a question of if, but when?
Sharen and I try and walk every day. We both prefer to start our day with a walk around the neighborhood, but if something else comes up, think Dr. appts or grandkids, we walk in the afternoons.
Our neighbors are impressed with our dedication.

Rain or Shine - Snow or Sleet - Heat or Humidity. We both love the change in the weather. ALL of it.

This winter has been pretty easy with getting out - no snow or cold weather... Until this weekend.

We got hit with 5 or 6 inches of snow yesterday. We waited for the snow plows to come thru and then took our walk. By then the sun had come out and it was a beautiful day.

This morning the temp said 4. Our coldest day yet. In fact I think it's never been below 20. When the temp hit 10 Sharen texted me and said she would be down to my house at 10am to walk. So we walked - and I have to admit in spite of the cold or because of the cold I loved it.
