Quick walk yesterday morning.

New Years Day sunrise. So beautiful. Friend and I managed to get out and walk about 9, still cold out about 47. First time I've ever worn long pants to walk here. Cold enough we managed to do 2.5 miles in an hour and 15 minutes and  that's with stopping to talk to other walkers and stopping to look at the water fowl. 

The first time this year one of the pelicans came up to the area where we walk. Such pretty birds.  There is a whole bunch of them and Canadian Geese about 3.5 miles from our area. Still in the Wetlands. One of our neighbors has an electric bike and rides down there and takes lots of pictures. 
A heron. I' been told what kind a lot of times but always forget. 
Busy piece of the river yesterday, the heron, pelican and several cormorants. And mallards and coots. 
This is kind of scary to look out your window at. 
Well we made it to another year. If he wasn't half blind we are both doing pretty good. 
Ah - New Years Day. Dark and dreary. Lots of low clouds and fog and rain. Hope this isn't a warning for the new year. 
Today is our 61st Anniversary. So many years. So many roads traveled. We were thinking about going out to lunch but it is going to be cold and rainy all day. Do not want to drive in the rain with a bunch of hung over drivers. The drivers here on a good day are nuts. 
Yesterday I went to the cardiologist to get results from all the tests. From when I had the panic attack and ended up in the hospital a few months ago. Everything is fine. Doc says I am boring. Come back in September. Stopped in a the grocery store on way home. Note to self NEVER go to grocery store at 3:00 on New Years Eve.
Just finished backing up my computer. Try to do it the end of every month, but especially the end of the year. Still need to look into "The Cloud"
