Back to Winter

The girls wore their jackets outside today.  The temperature was about 18 degrees F plus a wind chill that kept it feeling much colder.  Several times the girls got to the door and they turned around and ran back to the bedroom.  I had to put their jackets on them just to coax them outside.

By the time that I finished work, the girls were ready to play for awhile.  It is a difficult time of year because the sun is down by the time that I get off.  Dale told me to go down to the park with the fishing pier.  I left the lights on and my car running.  It helped to illuminate an area for the girls to play safely. I had to walk away from the car in order for them to run and play.

I was surprised to see three vehicles parked along the edge of the parking lot.  As I looked closely, I could barely make out fish-houses out on the lake.  It is unbelievable to me that there are people (probably guys) out on the lake already with some kind of a house.  It was too dark to tell for sure, but they were most likely temporary houses.
