Snowing this morning.  Little birdies skipping around backyard looking for food.  Haven't yet chopped down flower stalks so maybe they got lucky.

Had to go to Santa Fe for an oil change so wanted to get exercise done in morning.  Walked 4 times back and forth to airport for 4 miles.  Slippery slush at first but then warmed and just fine.  Alternated between bright overcast and dull overcast.  Relatively warm for snow.  Saw, parked side by side at airport, a lime green VW beetle and a Christmas tree green Ford Ranger pickup. The greens brightened my day as I wasn't cheerleading about the new snow infusion.   Glad to get exercise done as walking this evening in the cold and dark and gusting wind wouldn't have been fun.

Picked up grandson at his father's to deliver him this evening to his Mom who's returning from New Orleans vacation.  Took grandson to Target and gave him money to buy a toy.  He'd brought money along but was a couple of dollars short.  Then we walked to Santa Fe Place where I bought him lunch at Dairy Queen.  Carousel gives 15 turns around for $1.75 - we counted them out!

Regarding yesterday's bitch fest:  Sure, I could do that all day, every day but what would it gain me?  Key to happiness is take a hike which I'll do tomorrow with the Tuesday group.

Women in LL group with stage 4 lung cancer has now opted for palliative care and doctors give her days or weeks to live.  Be grateful for good health!!

Prairie Home Companion had a sweet segment this week called Snowman.
