I know I keep talking about the
flowers, but they do add a lot of beauty to my life. Yesterday Leroy said, “Those
amaryllis are certainly beautiful.”
They are in the living room where we
sit to read or possibly watch TV. Because they need support holding up their
heavy blossoms I have them leaning against the rocking chair across from our
reading chairs, consequently we can look at them often without trying.
We walked to church this morning. The temp
was 3 degrees F. with a feels like -10 with the wind chill. We were grateful
that many of the sidewalks were clear. If not we used the streets. Usually Sunday
morning there are not many cars out. We are grateful that the college campus sidewalks
are cleared with such regularity.
We walked right along to get the mile
done before we felt too cold. I should take a picture of Leroy when he is all
bundled. There is no skin to be seen. He got a pair of ski goggles at a garage
sale and they have become his good friend. His nose can be covered and his
glasses to not fog up. I on the other hand, have to keep my nose exposed so I can
still see to walk. I rushed along and Leroy whose coat is more bulky
complained, “I cannot walk so fast because I am so bulky and bundled.”
I showed no mercy and kept up the pace
with a comment and a little laugh, “That is too bad.”
My nose wanted to be indoors. Leroy
did manage to stay with me, course it helped if I had to wait to cross a
street.
