Cold, Snow

Hello,

 

It is hard to believe that when Brian was born over forty years ago on Valentine’s Day, the temperatures were almost in the 70’s. Our low last night was -5 degrees F and -20.6 C. What a difference!

 

Leroy and I took our usual quick short walk this morning before the sun was up. Today Leroy walked behind me. I usually walk behind him because he wants to go faster. When I commented about it he replied, “I am so bundled up that if you fell, I might not be able to hear you.”

 

With this cold it is nice to have two of us out there to help each other if needed. There was also a fresh blanket of snow that might have been half an inch to an inch. Where did this come from? We were not expecting it. At least this now was easy to shovel with its light dry quality.

 

We watched a film about homeless people called My Friend Karl. It is available on Amazon Prime. The person who did it is a teenager and he has won awards for this film. We were both quite impressed with it.

 

Snow and cold encourages more sitting around reading or watching TV. It is good to find something that inspires.

 

Here is a branch outside our window. It is sheltered from much of the wind so it has a load of snow.

 

We have not gotten mail delivered to the house for two days, not sure why. Wondering if it is the cold and snow or illness.
