Switching it up

 

I'm one happy pup. 

6" of snow last night.  We were only supposed to get 3".  When I awoke, I decided to be sensible.  Eat breakfast here.  Blow the driveway clean.  Sit down, enjoy the coffee, take a few pictures for today's post, play with color, read a few blog posts.  Wail on one of them: "With him gone, it's like someone hit my mute button.....    Thank God for the internet!  At least I can un-mute myself here."

Hello there... the Un-mute button!  My little spirit of adventure can be un-muted.  Let's drive over 6" of snow to the diner! 

    All of us have wonders hidden in our breasts,            only needing circumstances to evoke them.

I returned from breakfast totally invigorated. And played with my cool snow blower.  Memo to all: This kiddo's routine is switching.  Diner breakfast: 6:30 a.m.  Then sit here, write, or get on my bike, or, or, or.

  1. What a beautiful photo at the top!!!! Love, love, love it.

    Don't forget you're not suppose to drink coffee or other things with caffeine an hour before or an hour after working outside in the snow. Doing so can help bring on the heart attacks that are so common with cold weather exercise.

  2. Hi! It was fun playing around with special effects in the photo program that came with this tablet. Glad it made you smile.

    It never occurred to me, about and mixing caffeine and cold weather exertion. Yikes! Thanks for the heads up.

  3. The first thing I do when I come in from working out in the cold is drink a big gulp of Diet Pepsi--caffeine loaded Diet Pepsi. Maybe it is the heat of the coffee that affects one's heart--mixed in with the cold air in the lungs?

  5. It's the caffeine, not the heat, Judy. It has to do with constricting the arteries around the heart mixed with the cold air and working the lungs. But drinking water is a good thing when you come inside.
