Tuesday is my start of the week

We had a pretty decent day today.
It started out very cold.
22° here in town this morning when I woke up.
The cars were frosted, as were the roofs. Brrr...
Could be worse, it's snowing in Holland!

In the afternoon the temps were up quite a bit (in the 70s), so I decided to have a little stroll with Boo-boo. I've been trying to walk every day, weather permitting. Today I took a different "loop", went up the street, found a new street which turned out to be a dead end, but lovely nevertheless.
The trees are blossoming and even the dogwoods are popping.
I walked through the park, around the track, around the tennis fields, and then home again.
Halfway through the baby slouched down and fell asleep.

I was gone for an hour and ten minutes, felt so good to be out, quiet, little breeze, sun in my face.
Was glad to be home again too, as my leg was starting to kill me. Left leg, my thigh and the outside of my calf.

We played, we ate, we watched some TV...and now it's 8:30 and she's asleep, Wheelie is watching some star/planet program on the History channel and I am going to make a dent in my book (Eyes of Prey by John Sandford, I am trying to read the entire series from the first book on)

If you are familiar with these books, you will know that most of it plays in Minnesota, some of it in the north, where everything is very remote. I've lived in Minnesota myself once and I know it gets COLD there. I just don't understand how people can live there all their lives, I liked some of it, but hated most of it. I HATE cold. I HATE scooping a new layer of dog poop every day as the snow melts in the spring. (Love the lilacs though)
I enjoy reading about the stories from those frozen tundras, as I have a friend who lives there, and the stories just remind me of him. He lives in the boonies, and in some of Sandford's stories he describes the way of life there perfectly.

So from now on the weather is supposed to be getting warmer, which is fabulous. I will resume my daily walks again (like I did last year) and hopefully lose a few pounds.

My dad had his tests today, will know the results on Friday. So we wait.

Have a pleasant evening y'all!

SGMKJ!
