around the field we went

Pink still coloured the sky when we got up this morning - we were awake early and were blessed with a SUNNY DAY! Hurrah. I could feel the energy from the sun coursing through my veins, waking up my muscles and invigorating my brain. I know I've lamented about the lack of sunshine this winter so any little ray is celebrated and cherished.


It is bloody cold!






A snowy laneway was on Carm's mind so he guzzled down a cup of coffee and then bundled up for his heroic efforts in getting the snow tamed. I think overall we had at least 20cm and probably closer to 25cm fall yesterday and overnight. If I were just a tiny bit more energetic I'd dig out my snowshoes 😀, however I just got off the treadmill after walking close to 6 miles. It was 'walk with June' day today and we had lots to catch up on, including our travel plans! It's time to start making reservations for museums etc - I'll get on that right way.


The dogs had their nail appointment this morning so we braved the snow covered roads - there is a thick layer of white ice everywhere - well, Carm says it wasn't ice, but I say it was! We bundled the dogs up in winter coats for the outing and pre-heated the car. Brrrr…





Oh! I figured out what the 'f' meant in my log… it is short for 'field' which means I walked around the hay field with the dogs - I must have been pretty inactive if I thought that was worth noting! But the proof is there - I was a slug that year. I took a look back in my records and my blog and saw that I was having lots of issues which turned out to be a slight overdose of lithium. Once that was sorted my energy was back. Ridiculous to realize that it took me months to get to the bottom of it!




Awesome!
