Get Outside

February 4th, 2019

The winters in Maine are quite lovely, we noticed how much sunnier and brighter they were our first winter here. The nice thing about these bright days is that it makes you want to get outside to enjoy it, even if it is rather cold. When there’s snow on the ground, my preferred winter activity is snowshoeing.

This weekend we were able to get out both days for a nice walk on the property. We’re lucky to have mile and miles of trails to hike/snowshoe on. I try to get out each day on my lunch-break to get some fresh air and exercise. Soon enough, the snow will be melting and it will be time for spring cleanup, until then I’ll relish the beauty of a winter hike!

What winter activity is your favorite?

    Susy, My favorite activity for winter is reading garden books and watching garden videos. Now it’s skimming through the seed catalogs and working on inside projects. The biggest projects being replacing a kitchen dinning room floor and rebuilding the seed starting station. Both are behind schedule which seems to be my procrastination way. My digital garden planner says it’s time to start the onions seeds over the next two weeks. So in essence the garden season is about to begin.

    Have a great snow shoeing day.
