Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Sunshine is delicious.

     Our family has come and gone.   Wonderful visit.  Please come again soon. 
     We had a foot of snow while they were here, but today was a sunshiny respite from the winter storms which are to return tonight.   It was glorious...crystal clear skies,  unblemished drifts of snow glittering in the light.  Wildlife out and about warming in the sun, munching on our shrubbery.  Dear dog romping belly deep in drifts and eating mouthfuls to her heart's delight.
     I did get back to exercising after taking yesterday off.  Did my 30 min. of exercises...stretching, modified push-ups, crunches, basic yoga sun salutations.  Also jogged 1 slow barefoot mile on the treadmill after walking dear doggy a mile outside.

"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating;  there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."   (John Ruskin)
