off to a great start

I woke up yesterday feeling great and when I stepped outside and felt the warm air, my first thought was, "It's a great day to go for a walk in zoo!". Jeff was still half comatose with sleep but I was able to convince him that this was a good thing.
65 degrees on New Years day is a real treat for a New Hampshire girl. I enjoyed every moment of being outside yesterday. The forest aviary is one of our favorites (next to the chimps, gorillas and baboons).

We enjoy trying to find all the birds that are listed on the boards and are always amazed at the flowers that  are in bloom. A walk through the zoo is great exercise and Jeff and I agreed that we need to set aside more time for exercise this year.
Today I managed to get my exercise by stacking a cord of wood that was delivered this afternoon... not as much fun as the zoo, but I really don't mind stacking wood. My shoulders and hands are a little sore and tired tonight, but it's a good tired... one where I know my body got a workout.
...now to just keep it up!
