Morning ritual of hiking in the dark

Since we have been getting up and heading out early - we have been in the dark for atleast the early part of our morning hikes. The day before yesterday it was 8 degrees (when we went with Lisa) so yesterday I brought some decaf tea with me on the hike...it was sort of a relief when I heard on MPR that it was 21 degrees...still it's nice to have a warm drink in hand sometimes....

The days are getting longer though, and we are getting so excited to have some more daylight in our morning routine!
