Warming up a Cold Day
Today’s low is -11F. Brightened things up by switching on the holiday lights for the first time this season.
Christmas Shopping Lite
Walked to Downtown Target to start and almost complete Christmas shopping: gift cards for mail carrier, etc.
Hanging Holiday Lights
Good weather today for hanging lights outside. Replaced 19 bulbs. We’ll switch the lights on closer to the Holidays.
Washing Dishes
Cooked Thanksgiving dinner: braised turkey, stuffing, the works. Great company. Now the easy bit: washing dishes.
Encroaching Ice
Walked round Lake Calhoun today. Watched geese ready to escape from encroaching ice.
Otherworldly Squeaks
Willow on running route today. Heard otherworldy squeaks when the breeze shifted ice forming on Lake of the Isles.
Mincemeat
Foraged for essential ingredient for the holidays at Lunds, Uptown. Pie crust will be from scratch–thanks, Dwight.
Taking Advantage of the Weather
Long shadows. Hit 57 degrees today: a day to be outside, exploring. Best to defer work and chores for another day.
Crimson
Near Stone Arch Bridge today.
