AND HERE'S THE BEST PART.....I AM ABLE TO SHARE MY HOBBIES WITH OTHERS:))

What a rotten damn nasty weather morning we had.  Cold rains overnight turned to snow with strong icy winds whipping it around.  Pheebs and I had the Jeeps heater going and the windows up for most of our Jeep ride.  Skies were a sodden ghastly gray so my mission was to find some color in the mornings drabness.  And by golly we found us some too.

THIS WAS OUR FRONT YARD EARLIER TODAY

HIGH WINDS BLOWING SNOW ACROSS THE HIGHWAY

ALL WAS CALM IN PROTECTED FORESTS ALONG THE WAY 

KEEP IN MIND IT IS SPLASHES OF COLOR I AM LOOKING FOR IN MOST OF THESE PHOTOS

STILL BLOWING:((

Luckily our day began turning around by late morning with a few rays of sunshine managing to finally break through the cloud cover.  After such a nasty morning what a great feeling to finally see a few patches of blue sky appearing.

With graying skies definitely clearing and strong wind gusts bending our tall pine trees  the wind chill factor was driven down around the freezing mark.  Despite that and as temperatures slowly rose and blue skies prevailed Pheebs and I did make it out for an afternoon walk in the sunshine.  

SKIES SLOWLY BEGAN CLEARNING MY LATE MORNING

This Covid-19 has caused a lot of hardships for many people everywhere and fellow RV'ers are no exception.  Deb over at A long and lonesome highway has written a few paragraphs about the difficulties and frustrations of finding RV Parks now closed since returning from the south.  Check out Deb's latest post Time Is Getting Shorter At Butter Cup Ridge and understand some of the unique problems many RV folks are now faced with.

THIS LOCAL RV'ER HAS FOUND HIMSELF A NICE LITTLE SPOT IN THE FOREST

A LITTLE TOUCH OF GREEN ALONG THE ROADSIDES EDGE

PHEEBS DOESN'T LIKE TO MISS ANYTHING BUT SOMETIMES SHE DOZES OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS

I sat in front of the computer for a long while tonight trying to think of at least one more paragraph to add to my post.  With way too many photos again I try to break them up with paragraphs.  I'll be darned if I could think of one more paragraph to write.  It is definitely a challenge trying to come with 'something new' each day but it's a necessary challenge for me to keep those ever threatening cobwebs from clogging up my mind.  Some folks do jigsaw puzzles or crosswords.  Cards or table games.  Maybe knitting, quilting, woodworking, or model trains, planes, or financial gains.  For me it's writing, taking and editing photos, local morning travels, yardwork and reading.  I am a lucky fellow to have these few enjoyable hobbies.  And here's the best part...….I am able to share my hobbies with others:))

AND HOW NICE TO END OUR DAY UNDER SUNNY SKIES:))))))) 

KELLY BROUGHT THESE COLORFUL SPRING TULIPS HOME THURSDAY AND YES THEY ARE REAL 

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Two Mexican detectives were investigating the murder of Juan Gonzalez. "How was he killed?" asked one detective. "With a golf gun," the other detective replied. "A golf gun?! What is a golf gun?" "I don't know. But it sure made a hole in Juan."
