Winter Pains

I just came in from doing chores outside. It is 5 degrees this morning. I am sure there is some windchill making it feel colder than 5. I have a pair of double knit mittens that I wear when I do chores. I hate work gloves because they don't keep my hands and fingers warm. I also have to take them off in order to do anything. I just as well wear mittens so my hands stay warm when I do have them on. Needless to say, my hands were still very cold this morning. My fingers were aching by the time I came in the house. Then I spent 10 minutes dealing with the pain in my fingers as they warmed up. Oh, there are some good times to be had in the winter!
