6 degrees of separation from being warm

1.  5 degrees 

outside this morning.  

Having to use the ear flap maneuver to keep my head warm - inside the house.

Coat ON.

(Not outside long enough to photo document the misery.)

2.  18 degrees

  Keeping my core strong and abdominals sucked in, 

 able to keep tummy out of snow.

3.  22 degrees

Walking only in shoveled path.  Moving quickly.  Deep breaths.

Maintaining.

4.  62 degrees

in the house.

Beginning of winter and Mom still trying to 

keep heating bills low by keeping thermostat at 

ridiculously low temp.

Sweater weather. 

5.  74 degrees

Moving about freely without planning next heat seeking maneuver.

No jacket required.

6.  85 degrees

Sunny with hot slate.

Warm enough to need a bit of shade.

Priceless.
