We’ve only been here for 5 years and I consider anything under 45 degrees way too cold. I don’t know how I survived my first 25 winters in Chicago – ha! But I do love my outdoor walks! I’m glad you have a friend to do that with!

It’s been inspiring me to read more often because I just want to cozy up in it every night!

Your “what’s saving me” list is all truly essential during these Covid times. Walks, nature, reading, sanity-saving planning– I’m with you on all of it.

It doesn’t happen much in the winter though unless it is 30 degrees or warmer. We are both wimps when it comes to being cold!
