A True Winter Day

Photo by freestocks on Unsplash At 7:00 a.m. it was 1 degree below zero, with a wind chill of 18 below.

With daylight savings time done for the next four months… it won’t stop me from taking my early evening walks…I’ll admit that I enjoy it….even when there is snow and whatnot on the ground…plod on…plod on….

Gloomy

day good for puttering around apartment good for kicking back relax good for taking a siesta good for doing anything a person chooses to do

Monday Evening 8:54 p.m.

the smoke from the west coast wildfires is really bad here in my part of the state…wore a mask while I took a walk… you can actually smell it too… shortly after 7:00..the sun was a ball of red as it was behind the smoke…its supposed to be a little better tomorrow…as I’ve had enoughContinue reading “Monday Evening 8:54 p.m.”

so I managed to take a walk, and I didn’t let the sun or the heat get to me. I managed to block it out, and it does help. now come Friday & Saturday, both days will only be in the 60s, with on and off rain. I can deal with that.

6:04 a.m.

another day of 90 plus degrees in store for today ugh!

6:57 p.m.

cut my evening walk its nasty hot and humid which is not to my liking

10:10 a.m.

went for an earlier walk shortly after nine not much shade damn…I could feel the sun…and it felt like being in a 400 degrees oven so I managed to cut the distance as it was too hot

so

as the hot, humid weather is here it still hasn’t stopped me from venturing outside and do my walks I try to stay on the streets with the most shade and also try to block my mind from how bad it is…most of the time it works it does keep me in shape even thoughContinue reading “so”

Sunday, we got quite a bit of snow. Tuesday, more snow is on the way. Possible 3-5 inches is on tap. Hopefully, I’ll get a walk or two in, as I do like walking in it, as long as it is not windy and blowing in my face. That makes it a miserable time… wellContinue reading “More Snow”
