Snowy Morning, Warming Up This Afternoon

Morning at 7:05

Last  Night's Snow fall

Frosted Tree Limbs

Evening Blue Glow: 8:00 PM

Up around 7:15, to a layer of snow on trees, ground and car, a great viewt to wake up to.  It's not very cold, 30º outside, high around 45º later in the day alas, as much of last nights two inches will melt.  It looks like this kind of weather will be with us for the next few days, wet snow or rain, then warming.

I did have yoga yesterday; I really missed it the past four or five days, so it was good to get back to class.  Before class, I asked our teacher, Elise, if she would teach us a few wake up poses for each morning.  She created a thirty minute work out and had the class follow it as well, which was great.  Her classes are always good because she does different poses each class, along with some I always recognize.  And some are strengthening, others just for stretching.  And this class has enough regulars so that we seem to get along well.  It's nice to know the names of others in the class.  Afterwards, we went to Wegman's, where else, as we had not been shopping since Friday.  We also stopped at the the Tractor and Farm store.  We bought about sixty pounds of sunflower seeds and a new pair of groovy, knee high rubber garden/work boots for Evie.  O, yea, Evie found another bird feeder she liked, so we now have four hanging around the house, filled now with sunflower seeds, mobbed by spring birds, waiting for warm weather.

Around 4:30, I went for a walk in the Woodlawn/Victoria woods, a routine I hope to keep up.  Evie gets her work out in each morning but I need some aerobic exercise, so late afternoon is perfect.  It was colder than I thought, but it was a good walk, always, through six inches of crunchy snow, as I followed lots of deer tracks through the woods.

Walking Woodlawn/Victoria

For dinner, we had salmon, with my sister Ellen's orange marmalade/balsamic/mustard glaze, with garlic spinach, always tasty.  And of course, we have been waiting all day, patiently, for another piece of lemon meringue pie.  We are rationing ourselves, so we have a piece for three straight nights.  Alas, tonight is the last night.  Perhaps Evie's Diner will open and another pie will appear.  Let's hope so.  We watched a couple of more episodes of The Killing and though we often have a hard time understanding some of it, we are enjoying it more and more.  We also watched the last four minutes of the Heat's lost to the Chicago Bulls and speed watched American Idol.
