Groundhog Day

     A very weak sun today so I don't know if the groundhog will see its shadow. I hope not as that will mean an early Spring, something we really need this year.

   I got in a walk this morning although it was very chilly. I didn't go far, just around the block, and was very happy to get home. This was also my once-a-week shopping day and I decided to use a double mask as that is being advised. It was quite comfortable so I will continue with this regimen until I get a shot.

"Don't Eat the Yellow Snow!"

     I was reminded of this admonishment while out on my pre-lunch stroll today - every pile of (by now) grubby snow seemed to have been decorated by the local canine tribe. Of course, in days of yore, it was quite acceptable to grab a handful of fresh snow to slake your thirst; nowadays, not so much!

   The fire is lit and I am snuggled under a blanket to watch tennis from sunny and warm Australia. Talk about living vicariously through others antics!

A New Toy

 


   New to me, anyway. I have inherited a cell phone and finally entered the 21st. Century! I have been holding off as long as I could but finally gave in with the offer of a cast-off from the family (even the grandkids didn't want it although it seems pretty up-to-date to me). The plan they set me up with seemed quite reasonable too, so I will see if I use it enough to make it worth while. I can text as well (a new skill acquired!) and my photos should improve if nothing else.

    We've had a couple of pretty cold days but the sun was shining today so I set off for a walk around the neighbourhood. It was good to get out in the fresh air.

Finished!

 Ta-da!!

   It took longer than I expected to finally put in the last piece, but it's done! Started a new one today.

    We have had two beautifully sunny but chilly days separated by a snowfall. So, today was a day for shoveling and getting my Vitamin D at the same time. It wasn't very heavy snow so it only took me an hour to get the driveway cleared. The sun shining on the blacktop helped dry it completely. 

   That's my first shoveling stint this winter as son did the last couple of snowfalls. It probably won't be the last.
