FINALLY FREE

From those prison bars of winter …. and line edits.

Today went from zero to 20 degrees Celcius  in … oh, about an hour  (32 to 68 Farenheit) which called for the annual breaking out of the running shorts and T-shirts. Yay . Today I also wrapped my line edits for HEART OF A MERCENARY which meant I was allowed OUT! To play! … For a little bit.
  

This was my path.

This was my music: Bedouin Soundclash- When the Night Feels My Song

And my spirit soared. No scraping ice off the windshield. No shovelling the drive. No down jacket and gloves. Just the wind whistling through open car windows and tugging at my hair, the air velvet on my skin. Today, life was good.

And I caught up with the laundry

   Love those icicles, but they do look cold! And what lovely running paths you have!

   I must admit the view from my treadmill is getting quite stale, but now that the snow is gone and the puddles are drying up, I’m looking into running around our property for when DH isn’t able to spot me for childcare. It’s almost a kilometre around so if I run and run and run around many, many times it will get the job done. At least it’s better than the treadmill, right?

   I’m glad you have been released from your prison – it looks beautiful there. And congratulations on getting your line edits done!
   You caught up with the laundry? WhooHoo!

   Lovely mountains Hmmm. None around here. Maybe if I squint I can see yours! OK–I’m working. Honest

   Oh wow, I am really, really jealous! Absolutely beautiful. Did I say how jealous I am??

   Loreth – I think Peggy is jealous. Just a little bit, mind you.

   Toni, you can always pop over the Rockies and come visit

   Peggy, it IS beautiful place I live in, and I try not to allow myself to forget it. Could do with some Big City stimulation every now and then, though. But Vancouver is not too far down the Sea to Sky.
