Small ice floes floated by on a tributary of the Mississippi as we walked our running route.

Ice
Looked out at a world that was so icy, bus service was suspended for the first time in 8 years. I could see a dog walker barely staying upright, and emergency vehicles going to accidents. A good day to use the workout room, fix stuff, book travel to warm places.
What, No Christmas Album?
Asked The Google to play Cher’s Christmas album. Shocked to learn there isn’t one, so I signed a petition at change.org.
Deadfall Minnesota Cherrywood
Deadfall Minnesota cherrywood (our Christmas tree) never looked finer. The angel is a little the worse for wear.
Time to Decorate
Yesterday Dwight made mince pies. Today we decorated.
Winter Walk
Walked our running route.
Harvest Time
Our first microgreens harvest, just in time for Thanksgiving dinner.
Arrival of Winter
Winter arrived overnight. It’s a good day to cocoon.
Snowbird Planning
Spent much of the afternoon planning to be snowbirds for two months this winter. Unlike many Minnesota snowbirds (who head south in the winter) we don’t own a vacation condo or recreational vehicle. We prefer to rent.
A Day to Stay In
It was 6°F (-14°C) outside when I woke up. Looked out at ice accumulating on the Mississippi and decided I’m not going anywhere this morning. The “rock” sticking out of the ice is a slowly crumbling pier for the old 10th Avenue Bridge. The bridge was torn down for scrap in 1943.
