Steps in the cold

I’m having trouble keeping up with the step count these days. The first snow fell on the mountain and it’s very dark, unpleasant, and cold outside, even though objectively, it’s not even close to freezing. Same time in January, I would find +4° to +10° C t-shirt weather, and I’m now going out with a winter jacket.

This is how I feel every time I manage to go out for steps:

The council of yard cats

A rare photo of 3 of the yard cats together. The number of cats greatly varies but the orange mostly moved 2 yards away, both tuxedos hang out in front of a nearby shop, and the black cat got semi-adopted, I think. I don’t see her outside very often. There are a few more I don’t see that often.
