A snowy day

☃     ☃     ☃     ☃

We are getting some snow today.  : )  Left the house at 7:55 this morning and it was snowing.  It was only 17 degrees but no wind today and what a difference that made.  It didn't seem nearly as cold as yesterday.  I wore my rain paints and hiking boots for walking in the snow and stayed nice and dry.

I stayed mainly on the main road where it was easier walking but then I had to move out of the way of the snow plows a few times.

I'm at one end of town here just starting out.

And here I'm at the other end of town.

On the left is Barn Sale Road and I walked up there and took a few pictures up along the way.

 Picture at the top of the post is along Barn Sale also.
I loved being out in the snow.  Passed by a women shoveling snow and I said, "We are finally get some good snow."  She replied, " I know."  She did not seem happy about it.

I went home after 5 miles because I felt like I was getting in the way of traffic and snow plows.  I walked another mile down in the basement just before supper so got my full 6 miles in.

It's been snowing all day and we have about 5 inches so far.

I spent most of the afternoon finishing up the baby sweater.  It was quite a challenge for me but I am so very happy to say that I've figured it out and it is now done.  I can't tell you how glad I am that I did this.  It is a major accomplishment for me.

Later I will start a little hat to go along with the sweater and slippers.  The hat is easy and should go pretty fast.  Hope so anyway because the shower is this coming Saturday.

The other day when I posted about all the coins I've found on my walks in the glass banks, I made a mistake about the date I started saving the coins.  I said 1988 but is is actually 1997.  I stared walking mornings in 1988.
I had the glass banks downstairs put away in a cabinet but now I've moved them upstairs and used some old boxes to display them.

We got a couple of movies from Netflix in the mail today one of which is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and we will watching that later.  I watched it a long time ago and have also read the book.  Don't remember much about it but do know that I thought it was good.

I have discovered that I really like the ice cream flavor Butter Pecan.  It has always been my mother's favorite.  She would be very surprised to hear me say that because I have never liked it before.  I guess our taste buds change as we age. : )

Hope you have enjoyed your day and you are happy and content.
happyone : )

A snow day literally and figuratively falls from the sky unbidden,

and seems like a thing of wonder.
