Hey @memorialuniversity folks, please join me in downloading and using the app. It’s a great tool in helping stop the spread of the virus. Even folks outside of MUN too. Get the app and give me a reply below and I’ll say hello and thanks!!!!!I took an indoor day thus far with the storm and lots of things to do-hope to get out for a walk or shovel before bed. In the meantime, here is my new favourite marsh that I’m exploring in the middle of a snow squall.This tree stopped me for a chat. It introduced me to the sky.The tracks are an invitation to follow. Or not. Go to where they lead. Or not. Open space and big skies beckon. Do I lead or follow? Make tracks or leave them? All big questions I don’t need to answer. It’s Saturday.Today we accepted an adventure invite from the hint of someone else’s ski track. We set out, wondering where the thin track would lead us, and it didn’t disappoint. We skied over several marshes and visited an “off the beaten track” pond. The sun blessed us with its presence for much of the ski and then it hid while snow squalls raced through over and over again.We were up early for today’s outdoor adventure to bike before temps rose & snow got soft. Biked a great loop through #PippyPark & ended with this fabulous view over St. John’s. Having a dose of outdoor time, we’ll settle into work time for the rest of the day feeling centred & refreshed.TA’s Facebook Page
