Got this pic in an email this morning and wanted to send smiles your way.

First snowfall

We have our first snowfall of the season today, its gorgeous but then the first one always is. Its a chilly 32 and I went out for a walk early this morning to get some pictures. Hope you enjoy them, we even still have the fountains in the pond running. Supposed to be back to 50 by Friday, sure hope it is.

Coffee or Tea?

I have been a heavy coffee drinker for it seems forever. Although, I had sometimes enjoyed a cup of tea,it was usually one in the evening to relax. Last year at our Relay for Life I won a tea gift basket. I had been reading about the benefits of tea and had started to incorporate a cup or two of green tea into my daily diet. Lately, I have found that I am drinking one half cup of coffee most mornings and am now drinking all tea. I have found a few sites to order loose leaf tea through and have really enjoyed the different types and flavors. Plus an added benefit for me is that with coffee I always used some type of milk, creamer, etc and with tea I do not. Check out this site I found yesterday and ordered from, it already shipped and I should have it tomorrow. This is a page from that site of the health benefits of tea. http://www.adagio.com/info/health_benefits.html?SID=ad7bdd7174890721790e573960c54f4e

Walking

"Above all do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday I walk myself into a state of well being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill ... if one keeps on walking everything will be alright." (Soren Kierkegaard)

This quote came from a friends page on www.walkertracker.com I am sure she won't mind if I borrow it. The picture is another one from our walk yesterday. 6 miles ! Woo hoo! Hey, I just realised I am not sore this morning. Well, not much anyways.

Walking

Cher and I had a real nice walk this morning, up and down little hills, dirt roads, paved roads etc. It was a chilly 30 degrees when we left around 8:15 this morning.

Think we may both be a bit sore come morning, we walked a total of 6 miles in two hours. Took a break in between and thankfully John had some breakfast ready for us when we got home. Am thinking the butt cheeks may know we walked that far come tomorrow.

had a great day though, was nice to have the time together to do this. Sure did enjoy it. We burned 376 calories so that was my exercise for today, although I may still ride the bike a bit. We just brought my air bike in from the porch so I can ride while watching tv. My minutes have been low lately and I need to get back into it.
