A blistering five degrees F on our morning walk this moring (as they would say in the Department of Redundancy Department). And, on our afternoon walk we came across stretches of sidewalk that had been salted; I tried to keep Pax off, but he decided to do things his own way, and a few minutes later I had to remove my gloves to apply a warm hand to his paws. (I can't really begrudge him since I didn't walk the walk barefoot.)

Leisurely breakfast with Jeff and Liz, discussing various things, but chiefly architecture and house renovation—as they are deep in planning upgrades to their recently purchased house in Estes Park. (Where, btw, it was below zero last night.)
