Day 5 ~ Snowy Stroll

Day 5

Jan 5, 2014 

My first: I took a walk in a blizzard (actually two). 

It was a cold blustery day with a blowing snow that was relentless. I even shoveled my driveway 3 times! I, of course, had my camera in tow and took quite a few shots of this reminder that maybe global warming isn’t such a threat after all!  It was biting cold and my face was beginning to feel numb. It was even hard to form words. After a while though, my face began to feel warmer and not so frozen…go figure.  To witness this "first”,  I had a guy on a 4-wheeler (with frozen eye lashes) take two photos of me.  I made a guardian snow angel in my front yard for the first time. I even took a bit of a drive that tested my fear. I wasn’t so much afraid of slippin’ and slidin’ as I was of getting just plain stuck.  I love this kind of day that you are at the mercy of Mother Nature. I think it tends to humble us all a bit and maybe even make us feel a little more like family. After all, we are all in this together.
