View of my house from atop the ski hill

 For the last week have been letting Whip loose to run through the meadow and kinda exercise herself while I sat on the deck nursing my sore hip.  Tried a long walk today and it went well for awhile but then my hip ached again.  No sharp pains though.  Decided to make it a short long walk.  Which of course got me thinking about oxymorons.  This morning I'd cleaned out the cat box so in essence I now had tidy litter.  I'd gathered some seeds from the peony bush and planted them in clean dirt.  I got a call asking if I'd be voting for a certain candidate and I responded with a positive "No".  Stuff like that.  Forgot all about how cold a day it was, my leg hurting, and even bypassed the shortcut to take a longer walk than I'd planned.  Whip was pleased.
