Blue Walk

Blue was the dominant color as I walked beside Lake of the Isles today.

Walked past hibernating canoes, Lake Calhoun.

-16° F (-27° C) at 8:00 a.m. I’m staying home under my blankie today.

Shoveled some of the 6 inches of snow that fell overnight.

Minstrels played in the gallery of a local supermarket while I bought supplies for a weekend of hunkering down from snow and extreme cold.

Rode this seasonally appropriate city bus to Downtown.

Today is the official start of our Holiday Leftovers Season. I reincarnated root vegetable mash as “panko-encrusted croquettes.”

Departed from tradition: cooked a goose on the Weber.

Yesterday’s first snowfall inspired me to hang holiday lights today. We won’t switch them on until after Thanksgiving.

Views from our bedroom window: today, and two weeks ago.
