Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Snowy

Figured town wouldn't be so good for walking this morning so didn't drive to town. Walked three of my miles today down in the basement.

Made pancakes for breakfast.
Had one banana that was a bit too ripe to eat so I smashed it
up and added it to the pancake batter.
Makes delicious banana pancakes.

After breakfast I went outside to shovel the driveway.
It was 20 degrees and mostly cloudy but then the sun came out for a little while.


After shoveling the driveway I didn't feel like going in the house yet
so walked around Happy Trails a bit and then
walked up and down the lane.


Made a tiny little snowman on top of a post.


I was outside all morning and by the time I went inside for lunch
I had walked the rest of my miles for the day for a total of 6 miles.
It was so nice walking around in the snow.
Everything looked beautiful and it was so very quiet and calm.

We may not have been seeing the deer in the yard lately,
but they are still there.  I saw LOTS and LOTS of deer tracks.

Afternoon it clouded up again and we got some more snow.

We drove to town to the Dollar General to use the $5 coupon.

For supper tonight I fried up some onions and peppers in a little olive oil.
Put them in a burrito shell with some pasta sauce, mozzarella, and
a bit of sour cream.
Easy and delicious.

That's it for today.
A happy day to you.
Thanks for stopping by.

it is necessary to stand out in the cold.

Beautiful photos. It is still raining here and not nearly so pretty.

I use up ripe bananas in pancakes too... we like to add mini chocolate chips or chopped walnuts to them. Two grands are sleeping over tonight and they have requested pancakes for breakfast tomorrow!

Beautiful snow pictures. What little we had here is pretty much gone for now.

I love the snowy pictures. So lovely.
I must remember that tip on using too ripe bananas in pancakes. I usually chop them and put them in the freezer for smoothies but I have too many in there already! In winter I prefer something hot to a chilly smoothy.
