Beautiful January Day

Did not waste a minute today after seeing the warm weather forecast.  Woke up early, attended church service down the road at the little country Lutheran church.  Came home and enjoyed a quick half cup of coffee and toast with peanut butter and banana slices.  Didn't waste any time and headed out the door for a nice sunny 3-mile run.  My run was preceded by a 40 minute snow walk through the enchanted woods (my friends land).  The sunshine felt glorious.  The photo above is what I call a deer super highway!  Lots of heavily traveled deer trails in the woods, but I never see the deer!!!

Came back to our house and joined Bike man on the lake for a little ice fishing.  We had a nice warm fire going in the cooper fire pit, so I roasted some natural casing hot dogs.  Honestly, this is the ONLY time of the year where we eat hot dogs!  There's just something about roasting them over an open fire that makes them worth eating.

Lastly, I wanted you all to see the gorgeous late afternoon sky.  A sky like this will just make you stop for a minute and smile.

And then the setting sun tonight.  The colors weren't as beautiful as I've seen in past nights, but it all depends on the moisture level in the atmosphere.  Regardless, it was still a lovely night on the frozen lake.  The weatherman is talking a snow storm in two days with blizzard-like conditions.  I'm just excited to hear more snow for snowshoeing.  Thanks for checking in with me.
