Yesterday 

Was my first walk 

since before Christmas

My poor little garden

all buried in snow

At least the snow was melting

and my little garden friends were 

starting to show their faces again

This little tweeter was singing something 

and it wasn't 

the blues

As I walked away from my house

I saw this beautiful ray of

sunshine

and then looked down to see

lots of melted snow

as I made my way on my journey

I saw up ahead some icy

snow patches on the sidewalk

 I was having to dodge the ice and snow

At times it was a little tricky

I could see God's beauty everywhere

A pretty house across the lake

(I just love the snow draping the landscape)

Ooops guess my shadow doesn't know 

when it's time to leave

The lake covered in a sheet of ice

Very pretty

Yes, God's beauty is everywhere

I saw seagulls and ducks all over the place

some even resting on the ice in the water

This is the other lake across the street

The sky was amazing

About this time my feet

were starting to feel just a tad wet

so I started heading for home

I even saw someone riding

their bicycle 

After being cooped up inside 

for almost a week due to the snow

and cold

It felt so good to be outside

It was an almost warm 50 degrees

When I walked up to my house 

It seemed there was less snow in the garden

This walk really helped me think about

my New Year's resolutions

and as I walked I realized I just need

to keep mine simple:

* Walk more often

* Start the diet (again!)

* Spend more time with God

(reading my bible and prayer time)

actually if I do this one the other two

follow right behind.....

What are your New Year's resolutions?
