Nice Day for a Walk - Finally!

Nice Day
The sky is clear and blue. The sun is shining brightly. The temperature is about 25 degrees (where is that little degree symbol on a keyboard anyway?) - by recent standards, this is a perfect day to get outside.

Lead the Way

With Daisy leading the way, we meandered through the Thatcher Woods Forest Preserve located a few blocks from our house. The whole time, we kept hearing loud popping and cracking noises. No hunting is allowed out here - but it wasn't gunfire, it was the sound of the ice sheets cracking from thawing out.

Fracture

The river was flowing, but there was still a lot of ice everywhere.

Ice Chimes

Have a great weekend.

Hehe. I remember years ago "20 degrees" was deemed just fine for going for a morning jog. Now it has to be at least 50 degrees. I've grown wimpy since moving south.
