Walking outside once again!!

Yesterday it was very cold and windy with ice and snow around so I didn't go out to walk again. This has been a bad year for walking - I don't remember when I've missed so many walking outside days. Nothing much happening - just at home doing usual stuff yesterday and today. The temperature was 8 degrees when I got up this morning, but the sun came out and there was no wind and in a few hours it warmed up to 30 degrees so I went for my walk then. It was kind of a haphazard walk because some of the sidewalks and paths were shoveled and some weren't. I would walk and when I came to ice and snow I'd turn around and go another way. It made for a crazy walking route. Here are some pictures of the paths.

Walked down this shoveled path.

Then turned around when I got here.

A few tries here before they actually found the path!

Then turned around once again when I got here.

Came across a group (herd?) of 8 deer and got a couple more pictures of deer.

Here is a young one.

And here is one trying to hide!

It was great getting outside and to walk again. It was so nice I ended up walking 7.4 miles. :-) I think with the weather warming up we have seen the last of this cold winter. By the weekend we are supposed to have temperature back in the 60's. I hope it stays warmer for good now. I was thinking that we turned the clocks ahead at the end of the month but we do it this weekend. I was just getting used to it being light in the morning - now it will go back to being dark once again. I'm just going to be lazy the rest of the day - reading and needlepoint. I hope you all are having a Happy Day. :-)
