Still sub-zero

This morning Raven and I had a very pleasant walk. It was below zero, but the sun was shining and there was no wind. I've been thinking about how our friends in the southern US are suffering with colder temps lately. At least in the north, we are a bit more prepared for colder weather. We own warm (even down) coats, we usually have a generous supply of hats, mittens, gloves and scarves (although our teenagers may refuse to wear them....especially the girl gender...). If we are layered enough, the wind doesn't blow, and we and keep active outside, the cold usually isn't too bad.

I'm actually more of a whiner during spring or fall when we have cold driving rains and nippy windy days. At those times you're not usually ready to put on the winter gear again or yet. The dry cold of January or February is easier to take than wet, wild and chilly days.

Still, it will be nice to have temps closer to the actual freezing point (32 F). And it will be nice to just throw on a jacket and not worry about hats, gloves, etc. when Raven and I walk. But those days will be here soon enough.

Till next time,
