Day 6:

Good morning Challengers

This February weather is really keeping us on our toes. Last night I had to make an impromptu trip to Mississauga to drop Bobby off with his Dad because today they said there's going to be a big storm. How to be outdoors when there is an ice storm? Is it okay to take a day off from a challenge? Hmmm.

As I write these posts the night before, I will have to wait until I really see the weather to decide. If it's not too bad, I will probably brave the ice and walk to Starbucks, but if it's bad as in, really icy, I'm not risking a hip (or a car crash) because I'm committed to this challenge.

It's about the fine line between commitment, avoidance, and common sense. I'll check in on Facebook tomorrow to update you with where I end up.

Until tomorrow, have an outdoorsy day.

PS. The photo prompt-a cool bit of ice-maybe on your window, a frozen puddle, see what you can find.

PSS. Sorry but I may never stop posting pictures of these guys

Day 30: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! We made it

I think that will be my take away from the challenge this year: That going outdoors isn't always enough, sometimes you need to really get to the park, or the lake, or the river, or the farm, or small town Ontario....or wherever you feel close to nature.

Day 29: I'm already thinking about my next 30 Day Challenge

Yesterday I signed up for the sketchbook challenge-it starts March 1st-so I'm already thinking about how I'll fit art into my day-it's a bit messier and more involved than typing a post on a laptop-but I guess that's why it's called a 'challenge'.
