winter has arrived

right after leo's doctors appointment - the arctic air descended!!  it turned bitterly cold ... so i dressed for the weather and went for a walk ....

i was completely warm enough - except for my sunglasses ... they fogged up ... then the fog froze and i had to take them off ... then my eyeballs wanted to freeze!!!  not a very  nice feeling ...  with windchill, it was -37C ... real manitoba weather ... and they promise some colder temps to come ...

leo and buddy played 'actively' (tongue in cheek) while i battled the elements ...

maybe they were the smart ones in our household!

Brrrr! It's gotten really cold here too - but not nearly that cold!

You make me completely ashamed for not walking. You stay out of that cold, my friend! Yes, I agree they are the smart ones. :) Hugs

You look so smart in your warm coat and sunglasses

Good for you - you crazy winter walker lady! LOL! You come from good stock, it must be in your blood to stand up to those freezing temps!
I'd be doing what Leo is doing, nice and warm inside!
Hugs!

Thank you for stopping by and for your helpful comments. I will get one of my "computer" sons to look into it for me, it is such a lovely way to share your faith. May you be blessed this weekend.

Your weather is colder than I can even imagine! You look warm & cozy though...except for the glasses fogging up. It looks like Leo & Buddy are having fun. Mom always had a cat & we loved it too.

Oh! Oh! I love that picture of Leo and his little kitty pal. Bet you could enter it in a contest or something online.... so fun! Tom needs a buddy like that, too. We're planning on getting a couple of them right after we line up some financial things. Thanks for sharing! Blessings, Debra
