Happy Anniversary!

One year ago yesterday, I began this blog with an entry called The Coldest Day in which I talked about the subzero temperatures we would be enduring for several days.

What a difference a year makes. Today's highs are going to be in the upper 30's. I just returned from a walk and I kept thinking to myself how good it felt to be outside again. It's amazing what some fresh air and exercise does for the spirit.

I've got this great route that takes me about 45 minutes and I walk down one of my favorite roads in Wauwatosa, Warren Street. It doesn't get anymore baseball, hot dog, and apple pie than Warren Street. I especially like walking there around the 4th of July. I would love to live there someday. So many of the houses have these big covered porches. I'd get a big porch swing and a laptop and I'd be set. I'd keep a pitcher of lemonade in the fridge in case anyone stopped by to enjoy my porch with me.

And with that happy thought in my mind...I'm going to turn my space heater on, get a cup of tea, and begin my chores for today.
