A late start

I woke up right at 6:00 as usual but I must have need extra sleep because I fell right back to sleep and didn't wake up till 7:30!!  So I got a late start walking. 
It was only 30 degrees out with a bit of a wind but I wore a good amount of layers and stayed perfectly warm.  It wasn't so much foggy as walking through some low hanging clouds.  At one point for about 20 minutes some freezing snow fell from the sky.  I don't think I've walked in freezing snow before.  They were tiny tiny little frozen balls of snow.  It made the neatest sound on all the different things it fell on - all slightly different.  I could even hear it falling on my hood. 

One field I walked passed must have had hundreds of geese sitting there.  I couldn't get them all in the picture, they were all spread out over quite a distance.

When farmer George harvests his corn it is nice and neat in rows without any waste. 

This is farmer George's field

 I can't help but notice that this big tractor and the whatever that piece of equipment is called harvests the corn it leaves such a mess behind.  I bet the deer and other animals like it. : )

I'm on my way up here to one of the cemeteries and there were corn fields on either side of the road.  Now it is so open with all the corn gone.  And look at the mess it left.

I walked some in town and also the farm loop. 
There were some deer around, but all the cows were hiding somewhere because I didn't see any at all.

It was really a nice walk.  I actually like walking when it's cold out.  Maybe not in the single digits but for now I like it.

I walked 6.3 miles - 12,595.

We've been home expect for going out to pick up a few things at the Dollar General.  It's been cloudy today but I've just noticed that there are a few breaks in the clouds and I can see some blue sky as I look at the window here in my office. : )

Hope you are enjoying your Friday.

These three are your greatest treasures.

Diane - I use a little scoop I got from Pampered Chef.  They have three sizes and I use the smallest one for the cookies.
