My Snowman

A cloudy morning BUT it was 30 degrees and no wind. : )  My walk today took me around the farm loop and around town.  I've really missed walking passed the farms.  I didn't see any cows but these three horses all looked up to have their picture taken as I walked by.

 

 A quiet Saturday morning.  Didn't see anyone else outside.  Just a few cars on the main road and no cars at all passed me all along the farm road

 or on the road back to town.

I had too many layers of clothing on because I got pretty warm after a while.  Not complaining though - it felt nice to be warm. : )

I walked 6.1 miles.

I have the day to myself.  Ken went down to Tomonium to the train show for the day.  It's about 2 1/2 hours from home.  He has a list of things to buy that he will use for his layout and a trip down there gives him a chance to meet up with his old train buddies.

I called my friend Bernice and had a nice catch up chat with her.  She's my friend who I have known my whole life and is the sister I never had.  Her and her husband Chuck are planning a trip here when the weather warms up.  It's been awhile since we've seen each other and I can't wait for them to visit.

Then I called my son David had a catch up chat with him too.  Got to talk to my grandkids Scout and Japhy too. 

I had a whole list of things I was going to do today while Ken was gone and I didn't do any of them.

We've been working on the puzzle getting all the pieces right side up and today I finished.  The border is just about done with just 3 pieces that haven't been located yet.  They will just turn up as we work on the puzzle.  I don't like to have any pieces inside the border but with a puzzle this big I don't have any choice.  Some big puzzle huh!?

The day turned into a beautiful sunny one with temperatures in the mid 40's.  By afternoon I just had to go outside.  Since it's been so cold the snow was very light and feathery, not good for building a snowman.  Now with the temperatures warming up the snow is melting and is wet, perfect for snowman building so I went outside and made a snowman.  I had to make him a bit smaller than I wanted to because I couldn't lift the second ball of snow I rolled up on top of the first one.  Snow is HEAVY.  Here is my snowman.  Isn't he cute?  I think HE looks more like a SHE.

 A few cars passed while I was making him and they tooted and waved at me.  I guess they wished they could be out playing in the snow too. : )

I was quite warm building the snowman and I ended up taking my jacket off.  Then I sat on my swing for a while.  Looking up through the tree branches was a beautiful blue sky with some clouds passing by. 

It's been a lovely day.  The things on my list will just have to wait for another day.

Hope your day is happy and bright.
