First Light


     It was 7:20 when I first ventured outside to give Kona a chance to pee.  The temperature was -19°C (-2°F).  It was a still, calm, and peaceful morning, and I liked the lighting, so I snapped this photo with my phone.  I think it does give that impression of cold peacefulness.   

    For most of this winter, I have been hoping for snow and we are finally getting some.  For me, winters are a period of very little outside activity, unless we get snow.  Snow gives me just about the only exercise I get, mostly from clearing the driveway, shoveling the sidewalk, and snowshoeing paths around the pond, that I can then use to walk around.

    My phone keeps track of my activities, and looking at the graph it makes, clearly indicates when we got snow, because the amount of my exercise I get goes up quite a bit.  We got 2 inches of snow overnight, so sometimes today I will go out and clear the driveway, because it is easier to remove the snow now, rather than wait until it slowly piles up and it packed down by driving on it, besides it gives me some needed exercise.
