Snow accumulated as we walked around Lake of the Isles.

Old-Postcards Walks
To add interest to winter walks, started to add pins, linked to old postcards, to an interactive map.
He Seemed Lucid
Walked with a friend as temperatures rose above freezing. This guy seemed quite lucid as he assured us he had been working out.
First Walk of 2021
Walked, as we always do on the first morning of the year. The bridge and the decapitated pole are remnants of this former railroad right of way. We’ll wait until next year for the bar lunch we usually include in this first walk.
Yarn Bombs
On our walk, spotted these yarn bombs. A sign reminded us today is the winter solstice, and invited us to take one of the macramé stars. We didn’t take one, a photo sufficed. “From this point forward we begin our journey back to the light.”
A Safe Place to Sit
On my walk through the University of Minnesota’s East Bank campus, it wasn’t too cold to sit outside and enjoy a coffee.
William O’Brien State Park
Hiked William O’Brien State Park on frozen ground lightly dusted with snow.
Afton State Park
Hiked Afton State Park: St. Croix River bluffs, prairie, woods, undulating trails, overlooks.
Trail Lunch
Our hall table, items for a state park hike tomorrow. Earlier today, ducked into Trader Joe’s to pick up supplies. The store had been reorganized yet again, I couldn’t find gorp in the usual spot, so grabbed the first things I saw. Lunch on the trail will be good, it always is.
Fading to Grey
On my walk: snow fell and the towers of Downtown slowly faded to grey.
