This weekend we’ll be shoveling out from another snowstorm and trying to stay warm. It looks like it will be a good weekend to continue some early spring cleaning.
Enjoy the last weekend of February. Stay warm!
Last weekend’s three days off was luxurious. We got in three long walks. The third day was in the 50s and it felt like a bonus. That day’s walk involved a strenuous uphill section that seemed to go on forever. I had to take off my winter jacket before finishing that climb! The reward was a spectacular view of the Boston skyline.
