Day 17: My lesson today

I had to walk down to see Phillipa at her photography studio in the Junction, and I thought because it was above freezing I didn't need my shells; or my hat; or my neckwarmer; or my mittens. Well, by the time I got down to Phillipa's I was quite frozen. 

Luckily when it was time to go home, Bobby came and met me and brought me a hat and neckwarmer, and my walk home was much more comfortable. 

Lesson learned. I actually feel quToday for one of the few times this winter I was cold. How you may ask, was I cold when it was +2. Well, because I didn't dress properly! How else. Ironic yes it was.ite foolish, being the spouter of all things "there's no cold day just bad gear"  Well I am not going out without my snow-shells again before May. 

Here is a pic from just 10 days ago just because llamas are cute.

Tomorrows photo challenge-while I was walking today Bobby pointed out a cute squirrel, and that's today's photo challenge. A picture of a squirrel.

My intention is important, as it affects many other choices: type of shoes, clothing, walking poles, water, binoculars, camera etc.

Good For You Momma

 After stopping for the dogs to poop and stopping to change Jett’s diaper (twice) we were off!! We walked through a sunny meadow, climbed up the frozen cascades and returned via a side trail that skirted the riverbank. Bliss.
