Yesterday I had a crazy idea. I'm not sure what came over me, but I thought I'd take a trip down to the mailbox and get all the mail. It had been 2 days since anyone had been down there and I thought there might be something good. By this time there was probably 4-6 inches of snow on top of some ice. A couple times I got a little to much on the edge of one of the ruts in the road and about lost it. Let's just say it probably would've been good watching for someone who loves "America's Funniest Home Videos!"
By the time I got back up to the top with my armload of mail my legs were burning! I had a small little flashback to our trek up the mountain back in September. And then I realized I could still breath so it wasn't anything like our trek up the mountain in September.
About the time I got up from the mail run Dad was already out doing chores. We had to haul hay down to the steers and then go down to feed at the south barn. By the time we got done I wasn't sure if I would be able to eat supper I was so tired. HA! I'm never too tired to eat!
When I got up this morning I felt the effects of my snow walking yesterday. It wasn't too bad except my calves, for whatever reason, are the most sore. Maybe it was the mud boots, or maybe it was because I had my coveralls tucked down inside and it was a wee bit tight. Anyway, ever so often I'm reminded of how I should be walking in the snow all the time and I'd be in WAY better shape!!
I finally got my apple cobbler fix this afternoon. I think it might be one of the best I've ever made. Not that I'm trying to brag on my cooking, but it was pretty stinkin' tasty!!!
Good thing I've been burning some calories the last few days!!!!!!!!!!!
"stinkin' tasty" huh? Yum.
ReplyDeleteI'm kidding, of course. I WAAANNNTTT apple cobbler!!!
And I'm glad that you didn't REALLY injure yourself. BE CAREFUL!!! You just aren't as young as you once were. ;)
It does take completely different muscles doesn't it? Imagine if we had to walk through that ALL winter constantly!
