Hello,
Yesterday when I was ready to walk Cleo,
Sophia and Logan wanted to go too. It was about 20 degrees which feels like a
heat wave so I was happy to have them join us. Leroy always wants to walk so I
did not mention him. When we got to the hockey rinks in the park, Sophia wanted
to walk between them. With memories of the last time Leroy tired this, he,
Logan, and Sophia set off while I stayed on the path with Cleo. The last time
the snow was so deep that Leroy and the kids had a seriously hard time getting
through, but yesterday offered no such challenge with the hard snow pack. When they
were done they spent some time sliding on the ice. Cloe and I walked to the
rinks and joined although Cloe had difficult time maintaining balance. After that
Sophia wanted to walk through the woods so we set off on the small path up the
hill and through the woods. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this trek
even though I could see out of the woods at all times. It is not a big wods. I
have missed being in the country where I can just wander at will in the trees.
I really am a country girl in my heart. The city is my adopted home, but not my
first choice.
On the way home yesterday the roads were
quite clear except for many areas south of Rochester where snow had blown
across the road. Leroy found it a bit disconcerting to be speeding along and
then encounter one of those patches. We never slipped, but he drove slower on
them. After we had left those snowy road places behind we turned right and
there was a pronounced protest from the right wheel area. After a little
discussion Leroy wondered if the wheel bearing were going bad. We stopped to
get some groceries and again heard the grating as we turned. When I looked at
the right wheel area I became aware of a coating of ice under there. I tried to
kick some of it off, but it was akin to cement. It is to warm up on Friday maybe
on that day our noise will disappear. We are both hopeful.
Paula
