That glowing sphere is certainly a beautiful sight after some dreary cold Wisconsin weather lately, HOWEVER, it is some deceivingly beautiful morning sunshine. She was pretty darn-tootin' chilly this morning.
-2F, feels like -15F; wind 8mph (7:29 am)

Paul kept a strong, hot, wood-furnace fire burning all night, so the quilting loft was mighty sweltering as I ventured up at 8AM. Shorts and tshirt it t'was (LOL) as I began piecing and pressing the wedding quilt rows together. There are clusters of seams that gather at many intersections, so I took my time (painstakingly so) pressing the row seams open... and after three rows pieced, I righteously lost interest... at least for now 😂
I'll always give ADHD credit for all the projects, hobbies and past-times my life has endured, whether obsessively accomplishing to finishes OR leaving them behind until obsessed enough to pick them up again.
Hence, SoScrappy's 2025 Rainbow Scrap Challenge took over for much of the time remaining in the morning. Her color for the month of January: PINK. 💞
Most of my bins (2.5", 2", 1.5") are fairly void of pinks, but found enough to make up a couple of Bonnie K. Hunter's Pineapple Blossom blocks (including BONUS pinwheels), and a couple of self-designed 8" connector-style blocks.
LOL... then this girl won me over. She seemed antsy. And hot in the loft!
So, we layered up and hit the pavement for a 45-minute recovery run after I initially said "no way, jose'" this morning due to those temps!

The day had warmed to 7F (feels like -6F with winds still at 8mph), and my running gear consisted of:
-thermal tights under a pair of thermal pants
-thin cotton short-sleeve shirt, under a long-sleeve wicking shirt, under a 'cuddle-dud' long-sleeve, under a crew-neck sweatshirt, under my light wind-breaker.
-stocking cap, fuzzy warm gloves and scarf that wrapped around my lower face, covering nose and mouth.
Outcome: perfectly comfy, sweaty even, although that head-wind on the final stretch tore through the scarf covering just a wee bit; nothing unbearable though.

Pretty pinks, you made a good start. Brrrrr, your run seemed rather cold! It's meant to be Summer here in New Zealand, but today's been wet, windy, and rather chilly.
Now that is a chilly run! Pretty pinks you are playing with. It will be fun to watch the rainbow of colors grow.
