The first morning of retirement

The initial plan was to sleep in till about 9am but I was awake at 7am and ready to get up and go so off we went for a walk. There had been about a quarter inch of snow overnight and all was quiet with just a slight breeze. It was cold of course, about 24 degrees, but not too bad.




As we approached the bay we were greeted by a bunch of deer that ran off a few seconds later as we approached.





The bay has been frozen over for a few weeks now with all the sub freezing weather. The layer of snow on top of the ice made for some interesting patterns.




And so back to our house for breakky and a cup of coffee. Retirement is looking good at the top of the bay.

  1. Retirement suits you, as we could have predicted. When's your first nap?

  2. Looks like Pittsburgh, only not as cold nor as much snow.
