Outside walking

☀     ☀     ☀     ☀

I am very happy to say that my complete walk was outside this morning. : )  It was 27 degrees and once the sun came up it stayed out.  There was a bit of a wind but I had my orange scarf wrapped around me and partly over my face and it worked great. 

Went to the post office first and dropped mail in the slot and then headed over to the cemetery but wasn't able to walk around it because of the snow.  This is the road leading up there.  Some ice but walking in the middle was ice free.

I stayed on the main road and headed up toward HT and also went up Barn Sale Road. That was ice free too like the main road.

Another picture along Barn Sale.

Very rarely does a car pass by when I'm walking along Barn Sale but today there were two.  A state truck passed me, turned around and then stopped when he reached me.  I had on my bright orange sweatshirt and he said to me, "I thought you were a hunter."  "No," I said, "just making myself visible so cars will see me."  He wondered if I was cold and told him I had quite a few layers on.  He told me to have a nice day and off he went.
A couple minutes later a woman stopped her car and asked me if I was just out walking or needed a ride.  I told her I was just going for my morning walk but thanked her for asking.

I walked back down the hill, through town and home.  So very nice to be outside!!!
Walked 6.1 miles.

Finished the puzzle.  I couldn't believe that there was a piece missing - the right bottom corner.  Well, if there has to be a piece missing, that is a good one for it to be. : )

Got my work done in the morning and that left the afternoon for reading and knitting.  It has turned out to be a nice sunny day.  That is two in a row, but more snow is predicted over night.

Forgot to mention that last Sunday evening at church I hung my coat up in the foyer and when I went to get it afterwards it was GONE.  I'm hoping it will be brought back when the person realizes that it is not their coat.  I'd hate to think that someone would actually steal a coat at church.
We are headed off to church this evening so maybe I'll get my coat back. : )

Hope your day has been a happy one.

Reflect upon your present blessings

 of which every man has many,

not on your past misfortunes,

of which all men have some.
