YESTERDAY'S WALK - COLD BUT CLEAR

 a little windy also.  The temp was about 45, wind chill made it somewhat colder - but the wind wasn't bad, heavy breezes.  It felt refreshing after being inside for a couple of days.   

I have been busy doing things around the house and talking with Mike and my sister at different times.  Living alone gets boring but when i get too bored I find something to do.   

Our son is healing well and getting motion with his knee after knee reconstruction surgery,  but still isn't allowed to weightbear for several weeks.   Sounds like they are enjoying life as roommates (husband and son) and Mike is learning so many techniques from our chef son.  He should come home with new ways to cook dinners.    He also has been spending good time with our grandson, who is at his dad's part time and his mom's house the rest of the time.  They all have good conversations.  I'm actually happy they are having this time making memories that will last forever.    

I keep thinking I'll go down to take a turn at helping but there is always a reason to keep me home - weather related mostly.  I was thinking of going down in a few days but then the weather reports say the beginning of real winter weather starting this weekend with the first of many snow events lining up so I'm not going to drive on mountain roads here or going down the mountain.

Just a few from yesterday's walk.  I have collected so many from walks in the past month when I get out that I'll never get posted.  One can only take so many lake walk photos without constantly repeating the same areas - but at least in different seasons.  These are from the shortest of the shoreline trails - round trip is probably about 35 to 40 minutes at the most.   This is closest to the village and Staters where I go grocery shopping and makes for a quick walk before going into the store.  There were only a couple people on the trail.
