The White Stallion

I can't believe how warm of winter we have been having.
I personally am loving it.
I feel that I was not made for cold weather. 
However, in the back of my mind I know whats left to come, or what needs to come, for the farmers, our water table and for the Lake. 

We are currently a one and a half car family. 
Which at times can be a little hard, when we have had a snowy week and the kids and I have been cooped up inside our tiny abode without any way to get out and about, and release some energy at a play place of some sorts,
come the weekend we are stir CRAZY.
Well today is a nice and balmy 40 degrees with added sunshine for miles so Josh decided to scooter.
 That's right he is scootering to work and it is January 27th. 
Seriously where is the snow?!
 Because of the lack of snow Josh has been able to ride the scooter longer than he ever has. 
He usually retires "The White Stallion" (as he prefers to call) it in late November early December.
Granted he is wearing snow pants, a snow jacket, a scarf, a balacava, leather windproof gloves, and several layers underneath, along with his full helmet. 
He say's he stays pretty warm for the most part.
This is a record for us and I just thought we should document it.
So when we are old and retired we can laugh at the way we were, and the provisions we took to "get by."  I sure hope we get a really good laugh out of this one.  



I guess the perfect title for these pictures would be (or really how Josh sees it)

I'm not a winter person either. I know the feeling of being cooped up inside and the girls desparately needing an outing! The warmer weather has saved my girls this winter!
