True that!! … Elif Shafak: “A plant always bends towards light.”
5:45 a.m, and I’m out the door. Dark Sky app says 36° F, feels like 34°, and I call bullsh*t on that. No chance. My finger tips are tingling, a mere handful of steps into my daybreak walk.
But I’m ready. Come and get some of This. Long johns, wool socks, double lined sweatpants, hoody, tuk (tuuuuuuk), a winter coat sewn by one of Dale’s relatives in Northern Quebec, and Norwegian Merino wool gloves. Because Norwegian’s know cold. And, caution flags are flying, need to avoid public areas looking like this, a threat, and get cut down by an AR-15.
What’s good about Cold? It keeps the Chatty’s out of the park. And today, even the regulars are absent. It’s me, and the Herons, Queen’s Guards, stoic, standing in ice cold water, winds gusting off Long Island Sound. Just the way we like it.

It Is What It Is 
You should see me in my really winter coat. It is HUGE, and will keep me warm to -35 F. Weighs more than I do, and that is a lot of heaviness, but it keeps me toasty on the power chair run to the local grocery. Well, the coat and a couple of lap quilts to pick up the slack where the coat ends.
