A Cold Brisk Walk

It was near the old zero yesterday. By old zero, I mean means Fahrenheit. Zero, for Celsius is just the freezing point. 0C is like 32F, and it's not that cold. But I remember from days of yore that 0F is cold, Baby: not Saskatchewan or Minnesota cold, but cold enough.

We still went for our daily walk, and without wind, it was actually quite pleasant. You may not believe that, but it's the wind that is the killer. Mind you, we  were well bundled and not exactly in shorts and tees.

For whatever reason, I decided that yesterday was the day to video our expedition, largely because I knew that the snow would be very crunchy underfoot in the cold, and I thought that some of you would like to hear that.

Videoing meant hands out of mitts, so I kept the clips really short before I would get the mitts back on. Of course, my hands got downright cold anyway, and then the batteries in my heated mitts failed. Sue leant me one-half of one of her own handwarmers, but I was still happy enough to get my frozen digits back to the car.

The video is about 1 minute and 40 seconds. The clips are unedited, other than being strung together. There was a time when I wouldn't do a vertical video, but it is now cool, thanks to Instagram and other social media platforms. In this case, it seemed to suit going along the trail.

I hope you'll walk with us.

I hope this posted okay. It’s not quite 4 o’clock, and I am huddled in my chair under a blanket. I’ve had my first coffee. The house was 15C before I turned the heat up
