| Everything is white |
I woke yesterday morning, after our wet and rainy hike, to this: a snow-covered front porch. I decided to walk to the bus, but it was difficult to make my way through the icy, slippery snow, so instead I cleaned off my car and drove downtown so I could visit my friends at the coffee shop and then work out at the gym. Since the streets were still rather warm, the snow wasn't causing any icy patches on the pavements, and I made it to the parking lot with little difficulty.

As I left the coffee shop to head for the gym, I was feeling pretty happy about having gotten out on such a wintery day. The class had less than half its usual number, and this morning, Saturday, I've learned that the walk with the ladies has been canceled because of icy conditions. Lily and I will still drive to the coffee shop and maybe we'll head over to the local indoor mall and walk there. In any event, we'll be fueled by some excellent coffee and company.
:-)
Coffee and company - a great combination. Enjoy your indoor walk. Good outdoor walking weather will soon return!
ReplyDeleteSnow! Yikes!!! Good on you for your great start to the day!
ReplyDeleteIt feels too early for snow, Jan. We had to use our winter coats today when we walked. Snow will be soon enough.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to deny that summer is truly over. I guess I can't deny it anymore with these pictures.
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of your beautiful snow. How nice and cozy that coffee must have tasted looking out at that lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteWow snow already! Our higher elevations are predicted to get some tonight (I think 1000 foot and higher...)
ReplyDeleteI suspect that your exercise addicted self WILL walk, but love that you have coffee and company to go with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd envy your snow.
The first snow and cold snap gives you a jolt. Then we become acclimated to it . Later, all your yoga buddies will show up.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for making the effort to go out.
ReplyDeleteWell, you beat us to it!
ReplyDeleteYou did have cold weather and more snow than we did. We went for our walk this morning on dry pavement.There may be more snow overnight, but it isn't supposed to get down to freezing, so it will probably be a repeat of Friday.
ReplyDeleteWell look at your snow, you could have had a snowball fight or made a snowman:)
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. The weather can change one's plans. But doesn't newly fallen snow look beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteI was just telling someone, that since I'm writing on my laptop now, I like to enlarge the type so I can see it with ease. I'm sorry about the bad news with your eyes. I have family members that suffer from that. Maybe I will too. But on a brighter note, the beauty of your hikes last week are easy to see.
ReplyDeleteSnow? We've had a warm fall in our new home in southeastern PA, and so in response . . . we've decamped to South Carolina for a cpl of weeks. But we're sure to see some of the white stuff back at home in Dec or Jan.
ReplyDeleteI love your get up and go attitude. I think I might have hunkered down with tea and a good book.
ReplyDeleteHope THAT kind of fuel isn't polluting the coffee shop!! (Kidding of course)
ReplyDeleteNo snow for me thank you very much...some of tbe rain tho, I'll take gladly.
I think you did very well, risking the pavements to get to your car. No snow here yet, but this morning we got down to 0 degrees C, which caused frost on the cars and roofs. I woke up to the sound of my neighbour scraping the windscreen of his car.
ReplyDeleteHere in Florida: 77 degrees!
ReplyDeleteDear DJan, your daily schedule of walks and gym and hikes and coffee and buses and driving and simply enjoying all that surrounds you inspires me whenever I come to your two blogs. Thank you. Peace.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wet snow. We could really use a storm here - the ski area opens on the 10th (only man-made snow). I walked yesterday as some flakes were falling, but the road remained dry. I watch myself if I think there is ice!
