I don’t like to let the cold keep me from walking, but Mother Nature has been challenging so far this year. I had a New Year’s Day ramble and went again the next day, but the last two photos above (yesterday and today) were taken on my way out in the car. Since it has gotten colder, I have been walking more in the early afternoon, when it is usually a little warmer. The last two days have been cloudy and windy, and it never really warmed at all.
The cold keeps me indoors more, but I go outside several times a day to put hot water in the bird baths. And, of course, I take apples and corn down to the deer whenever I see them.
I know the weather here is mild compared to what some of you are experiencing, so I am not complaining. My house is warm (especially when the sun is shining) and I don’t have to get out to go to work. (I love retirement!) Tomorrow’s forecast calls for a sunny day with some wind and a high around 25; I hope to ramble a bit and see what’s new in the Hollow. I’ll let you know if I discover anything exciting!
