It is cold outside here, minus 3 when we awoke this morning and 7 degrees as I look at the thermometer now. It is cold everywhere,I know, but this is the time of year that I held a kernel of worry over before I came up to the mountains. Could I do both the snow, cold and dark in the depths of winter? I am proud to say, so far so good. One thing that keeps me going is my daily trips down the road on my friend "Sparkie", the Holden kick sled; which is like the sled end of a dog sled. I love this thing and it is a nice work out.
To ride it you put one foot on the runner step and "kick" with the other. The sled works best on an icy road. I get bogged down in snow. I kick down the road and walk it back up to the village. Getting outside and moving picks my mood up and helps me justify all the wonderful Holden food that I eat.
