Snow does become quite a novelty event in places where it rarely happens.

That would be a very rare event, kitty! Enjoy! Sure is a pretty sight!

It snowed a good 6 inches here yesterday and has remained on the ground today. First snow in over a year. So lovely to walk in. Children and adults alike have built snow men and ladies in the village ... sledding and snowball fights, children’s laughter was a welcome sight and sound :).

Cool. I hope the snow carries its way down to where i live in Jersey (UK).
I recently ordered some new boots for my walks on the beach, which are half wellies half hiking boots.
And I already have some fairly new waterproof / snow proof thinsulate gloves...

So I am well prepared! Bring on the Snow!! !

Otherwise will just have to make do with Sunshine (like today), while i do my daily walks on the beach!
Today was really nice, had a moment on my own sitting on the beach, drinking a black super sweet american-o
lapping up the sun, while i looked out to see and listened to the sea, while listening to the skatalites in dub...

can't get much better than this i thought to myself, well at least not in Jersey in the winter.

Do you have joint pills? They are helping me. I have more pain in my lower leg, it making it hard to stand up.

i take a mixture of nutraceuticals [medical grade curcumin with piperine, 5-lox inhibitor] and a mix of advil and tylenol. when pain gets beyond a certain point i have some leftover cyclobenzaprine that i will use.
