...just a bit...

The sun was shining all day long--bright and welcoming. Yet, every time I popped out for a stroll or to take care of something I was reminded that in the PacNW it is still winter. The temperature felt quite chill. I suppose it reached fifty... Ah well, no complaints here!!

The light in the trees was terrific. I didn't take any photos worth sharing (mostly roots actually). I do find winter sun rather amazing...everything seems to glow!

I have been trying to get outside and walk about town to take care of errands or just walk for the sake of walking :) When schedules work out it has been fun to spend some time with friends.

On my last off Monday I went across the lake with my friend Megan. We went into the mall (yah, the MALL!!) and she was able to find some new things for work. We browsed in one little shop and then made our way to this H-U-G-E Target!

Seriously...this place has two levels!! Megan is displaying our excitement as we arrive to check this place out!

I think Target is just a fun place to look around...and look around we did! I've always said that if I feel like buying something (nothing in particular) I'll just go to Target. If I look around long enough...I realise there is just too much STUFF...and I really don't need any more stuff :) If the urge to purchase hasn't waned...it is also possible to leave Target with a little something fun without giving up much cash.

On this little outing I found TWO pair of mittens for $1.07. What a deal!!! Plus, with it still being winter, mittens come in rather handy in the mornings. Here are two photos...showing one of each pair of mittens. Glorious, don't you think!

I've also pulled out my Nature in the City book and hopefully I'll be able to take some of the walks in coming months...on my own or with friends. There really is a lot here in this city...and the whole region. We'll see what, if anything comes of it!

Cheers! : )
