Cold walking at the community gardens

 Glory Hallelujah! The sun came out...though it remained under freezing temperatures most of the day!

But when it did get above 35, out I went all bundled in my below-freezing wear. There are leggings under regular outer wear pants. A hat of course, and leather gloves, and the big puffy coat which has quite a story. I bought it a huge thrift shop as I passed the Florida border near Jacksonville. I figured someone had moved to FL and figured never to need it again. I knew someday I'd be where it snows again (and not Texas!) So I've had it about 20 years now...the last 14 in western North Carolina. 

Pardon the Covid hair mess...Most of the time I'm in a hat when I'm outside. And since I wear gloves, I don't mind the sleeves being kind of big.

But I did wake up yesterday (Sat. the 20th of Feb.) to sunshine. Sunday was also sunny, though it took several hours for the clouds to go away.

Here are pics from Sat.

First, I walked by the various composting bins...

This is the side where people add kitchen scraps and lawn clippings, but only to those bins that say "add here." The "do not add" bins are apparently fermenting quite nicely already.

One of the tiny libraries is located here, and I need to return a book I picked up from this one.

I'll post a few more views tomorrow!

Today's quote (which should have some additional technologies from more recent years)

Transport of the mails, transport of the human voice, transport of flickering pictures -- in this century, as in others, our highest accomplishments still have the single aim of bringing men together. -Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author and aviator (29 Jun 1900-1944)
