Stan & Joyce Orchard
Trying to figure it out since 1975.
Spectacular Sunrise
Snapped this on the way to physical therapy this morning. Just does not do it justice. The sky was alive.
A Walk In The Woods
Our dreary winter weather paused for a bit this afternoon. Walking in the watershed is good for heart and soul.
Firewood Therapy
Heating with a wood stove is a big commitment and it helps with exercise. Having a grandson to talk with while you work is an added bonus.
Preparing For the Cold
Looks like we’re in for some serious cold weather. Cold for us, anyway. The weekend will be spent chopping wood, replacing a broken axe handle, wrapping pipes, etc. Winter joy.
Now It Begins
Our first real snow of winter. Here’s hoping it’s not a repeat of last winter.
Getting Back To ‘Normal’
Look who’s back to work. Trying to get back into our routine of walking a mile or so indoors at work. A challenge, but we managed.
2020 Mile
Joyce Carol and I ushered in the new year and decade with a little over a mile walk in our neighborhood. It was a very dreary morning. Here’s hoping the next ten years are better for everyone.
Smooth River
The sun came out so we ran down to the Cedar River to try out the Spectre app. It’s pretty slick but not a lot of white water to smooth out on the river today. Got in almost another mile.
Hiking With A Hottie
Now that we’re both members of the stroke club, it’s sorta like the blind leading the blind. Or feeble leading the feebler. Amazed we both don’t fall over. But we did almost a mile on a very frosty morning. Hope everyone’s holiday went/is going well.
Jazzy’s First Christmas
Ten months old and growing faster than I thought possible.
