Since the plan today was for some of us to get Gideon out of the house for a little while, I took a walk in the morning. Much of the day was spent in the car seeing parts of the beautiful state of New Hampshire along state routes. It was an old fashioned Sunday drive where we were allowed to get lost. We had hoped to find some covered bridges and stop at some historic markers. The markers we saw had no easy place to pull over. It took a little while but we did find one covered bridge. Squam Bridge was pretty, overlooking a partially ice covered Squam River and Little Squam Lake. There were fishing shacks and snowmobiles on the lake and a marina along the river.

Other happy things for today:
- Every year Zed buys leather flowers for Keziah at the Birka SCA event at the end of January. This year the event was canceled because of the pandemic. Zed found the merchant that makes the flowers and met them in a parking lot somewhere to buy the flowers for Keziah and gave them to her for Valentine's Day. How sweet is that? He got some extra and I got some too.
 |
| My room is now brighter and scented with rose oil. |
- We played the alphabet game forwards and backwards on the drive.
- Some rivers were frozen and others were moving too fast to freeze. We drove by a dam that was part frozen. No pictures of that.

| I'm not sure where this was, I just thought it pretty. |
