On Today’s Walk: Toasty Fingers

For the past couple of weeks, I have been driving my car to get from point A to point B on most trips. I was becoming desperate for a walk in the fresh air. So despite the arctic temperatures

along with lingering patches of snow and ice from our recent winter storms, I took myself out for a short ramble around my immediate neighborhood this afternoon.

It was too cold to take many photos, but I did click one in an attempt to capture the feel of things.

Sidewalk, street and yard with patches of snow and significant ice.

Yep, that’s Winter with a capital “W.” But I know how to layer up. And now, I have something that’s a game changer for wintertime strolls.

My husband found a nice post-holiday sale on electric gloves. He ordered a pair for each of us.

No matter how insulated I was able to keep everything else, I always had cold fingers outside when the temp dipped below about 25 degrees Fahrenheit. But no more! These battery-powered beauties kept my digits toasty.

Now I only need to find some kind of electric nose tip warmer and I’ll be completely set!

I live in Missouri, a more beautiful place than many realize. I love writing, reading, walking, bicycling, and making lists. I’ve written poetry since I was seven. A few years ago I branched out into short fiction and memoir pieces. I also perpetually have a novel in progress. My brain pursues ideas at a brisk pace, wandering all over the map. This blog represents one of my efforts to keep up with it.

  1. Nice gloves. Wish I could do chores in ones like that! And the nose tip warmer has been a dream of mine since my Illinois years. Brr.
