It’s cold here in Minnesota. Below zero temperatures were the norm this past week…with the wind making it feel even colder.
The sun makes a difference. When it’s shining out on the field behind us it doesn’t look to be so cold…until you open the door.
When we were driving in the cities yesterday, I saw this scene and thought, only in Minnesota. The outdoor service person working for Century Link set up a portable tent to protect themselves from the cold and winds.
The clouds opened just a bit this morning, for about a minute, to reveal another stunning sunrise. Then just as quickly, it clouded up again. We are in for two more days of very cold weather.
I grew up in Minnesota, and I’ve always liked winter, but as I get older it’s harder to get motivated to go out and play in it. So, I’ll walk on my walking pad, and enjoy the outdoor scene from the warmth of our new home. And, anticipate the warm up that is coming this weekend.
What is a walking pad? Are you talking about a treadmill?
A “mini” treadmill – designed for walking at one’s desk I believe.
It’s a great size for me…and all I need to walk occasionally indoors.
Stay cozy, my friend
Thank you! I’m glad you missed this cold spell. 😉
That sunrise is stunning. And what a creative way for the CenturyLink worker to stay warm. Necessary in the cold we’ve had.
Like Barb, I’m wondering, what is a walking pad?
Thanks. It was a pretty sunrise and it lasted for just a moment.
I call it a mini treadmill. Maybe designed for those who want to walk at their desk while working?
That sunrise is stunning. You do such good work with your camera, Valerie! Thanks for sharing.
Can we see a photo of a walking pad? I’ve never heard of that! I love the sunrise! What a gift! Timing is everything!
