Ah, after I wrote this, I realised how pathetic it was. My dog snapped me out of it and took me on a brisk 6-mile run, in single-digit temps and three inches of fresh powder. Feeling much better now. :)

That's a spooky looking photo.

I'm glad your dog took care of you and made you run and feel better.

That's the view from my back porch, Pauline. Ben is a good dog for running because he will always have more enthusiasm than me when it comes to getting out the door. Only, he poops twice and stops for every tree once we get going, and I don't.

If I had to run 6 miles I'd be pooping the whole last 5 9/10.

Gorgeous picture!!
I suppose an entire world of it could be more trying, but as a single shot-- nice!

Do you know the paintings and drawings of Emily Carr? Very Pacific Northwest, deep, deep. Nice on a winter night. Anytime. This photo reminds me of one of her paintings (1936 "Blue Sky").

Single digit six miler! I bike and run and such, but wind chill factor on a bike on my violinist knuckles, not to mention ice, stop me there some months of the year. And below about 20 or 25 F, my lungs can't do exercise-- brings back old bronchitis which otherwise I've been immune to for 20+ years (saved by running, actually).

You go, girl!
