Hearty old folks aren't afraid of a few flakes!

Wind blasting. Flakes flying. Clouds cover a bright sun, then uncover it just as quickly.

Welcome to a New England winter day, and it is not officially winter by the calendar yet. That is how it goes, as we all know. 20 degrees one day, and 60 the next day! You can count on not counting on the weather. That is ok by me! It makes the winter a lot nicer when you get those toasty surprises thrown in once in a while!

This morning a hearty old couple was out walking the River Walk, bundled up and hustling along. A little wind and a few snow flakes did not discourage nor stop them. Wonderful! It makes me smile inside and out to see them brave the elements to enjoy a walk together.

Putnam is certainly filled with its share of hearty folks of all ages, (although I must confess I took the day off from jogging today...I will step back out tomorrow, no matter the weather).

I am a Putnamaniac who enjoys the old folks who aren't afraid of a few flakes, and hope to continue to be one myself!
