A Winter Countryside~

 The days have been gray & foggy.  Unusual, at least for us, during the years we've been here.  Butch drove again all day yesterday.  It shortens our weekends!  Today, we went out for our usual early afternoon breakfast.  On our way back home, I asked Butch to take a road I didn't remember.

Winter Countryside~
The views are of windswept snow over harvested fields, asleep for the winter months. It's been somewhat dreary, but there's always beauty to be found.
Round Barn~
When we ended up on the road that passes this barn, I asked Butch to stop for a photo. It's one of our favorites! I'd love to know the history & year it was built.
For storing corn~
The next really beautiful old building we passed was the one above. It retains it's historic look, even if it's no longer used. Butch then mentioned another of his favorites, below.
Another beauty~
I don't think this barn is in use either, but it's well maintained & may house machinery.  
Me on the trail!
We ended up driving through Silver City.  It looked so quiet without the usual summertime hustle & bustle.  Of course who wants to leave a warm house on a day like this?  I wanted to at least visit the trail.

Walking is a wonderful thing, even if it's still work to not gimp...  115° range of motion, is considered good for functional activities.  I can peddle a stationary bike now, but can't quite make a full rotation on Speedy.  I hope, with more time on the stationary bike & the Elliptical, it will come!  I have to admit, it's been a long sixteen weeks, but forward progress is a good thing!
