Almost every morning I take my little doggie for a walk (Hershey is a 55 pound chocolate lab, 3½ years old).
It was 28 degrees below zero the other day. (Don't believe me? I snapped this picture of our thermometer!)
So, I got up and it's 28 degrees below zero and and I had the same thought that most of you guys did, “how many pairs of extra clothes and I going to have to put on to go on my walk today?”
That is your attitude, isn't it? It's not so much a question of bad weather as it is a statement of bad gear or having the wrong kind of gear for the type of weather; or simply put, it's not crappy weather - it's crappy gear!
So I threw on a turtle neck and my spyder turtleneck thing (not sure what they actually call it) and then my spyder coat. I threw on some long johns, some sweatpants and put on my spyder snow pants-zipped up my collar, threw on a face mask, put on a hat, snapped on my hood and me and my doggie went for our daily walk.
We had a great time! We only went for about a mile because I had to come back and get ready to go to work, but both of us would've loved to stay out little bit longer than just the 15-20 minutes that it was.
Yup, my kids and I have a saying. If it’s bad/crappy weather outside that goes like this -- "it looks pretty spydery outside today."
Gotta love Minnesota, eh?
Tomorrow morning, I'm gonna see if I can take a picture of Michael biking into work; it’s supposed to be even colder than it was this morning. Oh wait never mind, that guys biking into work at 530 in the morning -- yes I said biking. The main thing to remember here is: I can get a picture him biking back home, so I don't have to be there so early in the morning. Now that's good thinking! Am I smart or what!?
