Another day of kind of nasty cold here with a start of 11*. Along with the nasty cold we're told we may see a little snow later. We've only used the fireplace a couple times, saving that high priced gas till we really need it.
Tho, we both are blessed with warm hearts our external body areas can get pretty cold. I'm the carrier of some excessive external areas and that doesn't include any protrusions. That is other than things like my arms, legs,ears, nose and my pointy little head, the holder for my nose and ears. I can stand about three times the cold that Glenda can because of my built on heater, fat. Fat generates heat. Sometimes just hearing another mention that I might be carrying more than my share heats me instantly. Say, I may be a sensitive person after all.
Tuesday I took the walk when it was 16* then tried a little fishing when it was 18*. Almost froze my ears off! Wednesday wasn't that cold but yesterday began at 5*.
But I learned a lesson Tuesday so when it got up to 12* yesterday when I took the mile around walk I wore a cap. Only thing is on these walks there always comes a time to use your handkerchief on a runny nose and it did with me. The first time I used it was at the top of the hill where the wind was really chilling the world. Needed to use it a second time just before heading down the other side but it had frozen to my pocket. Left me with the disgusting chore of flipping off small icicles the rest of the way home.

Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep. -Ludwig Wittgenstein
