Snow in the morning, sun in the afternoon

Not a pleasant morning for walking outside.  It was 16 degrees with a wind blowing and the snow coming down like crazy so I decided to stay inside this morning.  I didn't walk in the basement either but I did walk around the house a lot.  Every so often I'd get up and walk 500 steps around the house and by the time I go to bed tonight I will have gotten the minimum steps in for the day that I like to walk.

I usually do my exercise tape Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri but did it today too because I didn't walk.

I finished reading the book Life After Life by Kate Atkinson.  As the title suggests the main character dies and keeps coming back to life.  She keep coming back as herself but he life takes a different direction.  To read more about what it is about click HERE.  I thought it was a good book but one of the strangest I've read.  It's many stories in one.

I went outside in the afternoon when the snow was gone and the sun was shining but it was still very cold and windy.  Just got the mail and then walked around the yard awhile just to get some fresh air.

This is the spot where the garden will be.  You can see I still have to dig up 4 rose bushes and a bunch of grass like plants that I don't know the name of and a little tree.  Ken has designed some raised beds with walkways between them.  Hard to believe that this picture and the snowy one are both from today isn't it?

 

Baked  some Welsh cookies this afternoon.  This time they are for us and four of them will be my snack tonight.  I did eat one this afternoon as well.  They are not only good but I like that they are only 40 calories each.

Hope  your day has been a happy one.

A good example has twice the value of good advice.
