MJ, walking in snow isn't hard unless it's deep and our maintainance man does a great job plowing. Ice is scary, but I try to pick out the areas that have snow on top of the ice - it's less slippery. I also have my Yaktraxx on if there's a hint of ice, which lately has been every day. I leave cool crossed wire footprints. Today we went into the woods. Even in a snowmobile track the snow was deep, but I just went slow and watched the furgirls loving it. Little Moira was in up to her neck off the track. She's so cute springing around. I don't go in the woods much in the winter, but it was so pretty today. How can I get lost if I stay in the snowmobile track and turn around after a while? I can't, I hope. My thighs are sore from walking in the deep snow, but that's good - I used some big muscles. That's a yay for me. Yes, I am careful, but I need the fresh air and exercise. I get depressed without it and L & M need it, too. I am aware how dangerous this weather can be. Years ago I had a SIL commit suicide by laying down ouside in the winter. Whoops, just deleted my reaction to that. I don't use that kind of language on this forum.

I chose which green fabric, did some cutting and then decided to do a UFO. I have an almost finished masculine prayer quilt. I need to get it out of here, so I finished putting in the ties and am putting the binding on. I am just taking a break because I wasn't sewing straight.

Changed my dinner plan - am I weird in that I like refried beans better than steak (sometimes)? I had a bean and cheese quesadilla with my salad. The brown rice tortillas aren't bad.

Today started a new week. I wish each of us a successful one, whatever that means to each of us.
