Sunday: How Are You Moving?

I walked 2.5 miles on snowy roads this morning.  The picture below is the sight that greeted me when I returned home.  It was a beautiful day and I hardly got cold.  That was due, I think, to the fact that I was wearing a red and black plaid wool "Elmer Fudd" jacket over two shirts.  The jacket is about 25 years old and until the last year I have been unable to wear it because I was too big to zip it up.  It is actually a little big now, but I love to wear it, even if it is dorky.

On my daylight walks I traipse past a lake that now has a few icefishing houses out on it.  There was a fellow getting his portable fishhouse ready to go out on the ice, but he was worried about pulling it through some slush near shore.  As I walked on I wondered if he actually got out fishing or not.  Seeing people out and about on my walks is usually less exciting than seeing wildlife, but I like to imagine their stories nevertheless.  I don't think the man I saw was a weight loss surgery patient, but you never know.  Maybe it is the untold and unknown stories of the people and animals I see that gets me going to walk most days.  How did you move today?

Haven't started my outdoor ventures yet, but am biting at the bit.  What are you wearing for footwear?  I am not sure if my snow boots will blister my feet or if, because of my short distances right now, it won't matter.

Just curious!
