Is that you, Mrrzy?

A few of my former lost pounds have come back to roost. This time of year normally isn't so hard on me, but as a friend of mine remarked in an email yesterday, "we'll be talking about this winter for years to come." I don't have snow to shovel or I'd probably be doing better - I have just tried to stay warm over the last two and a half months. We rarely have such a prolonged cold spell as this, and there is an opportunity to comfortably walk or get out and work in the garden, etc. I did mow the lawn on Jan. 20, a holiday that was warm and the weeds were getting tall. But since then there has only been sporadic opportunity to get out. Today is sunny and cool, and I stood on the porch out of the breeze letting the sun shine on my face - it really is therapeutic.

It has warmed up into the 40s today. I'll run a couple of errands and then settle in to do more work this evening. I have many tasks calling out for my attention.
