Care to go for a walk?

A few weeks ago, Meredith posted a photo of the view walking down to her little town. She suggested that others do the same. Well, I didn't get it done right away; it got put on my to do list for a couple of reasons: 1) I had to find the camera; 2) The days were too hazy; and 3) The view out my front door is less than spectacular. We've had some wind and some rain, though, which always brightens up the place so I thought I'd invite you to go for a virtual walk through my neighborhood.

There's only one picture for the first mile just to let you know how ordinary my street is. As we take a turn uphill, you'll see the view improves greatly. Now, this will be a long walk. Have you got your good shoes on and a bottle of water?

Well, this last mile is pretty much the same as the first. Ordinary, tree-lined surburban homes. We won't stop to take any more pictures. In fact, we need to hustle because I'm supposed to meet Colin at school to sign a paper. By the time we get back to my house, we'll have walked for 90 minutes and 4 1/2 miles. It's quite the workout, but with your good company and the great view, it isn't too bad, is it?

Thanks for going for a walk with me. I much prefer to walk with a friend. (I'm sorry that the virtual walk can't completely convey how beautiful a day it was. The photos lose the true sense of depth and distance which is present in real life.)

P.S. If you don't make a habit of visting Meredith at Poppy Fields, I recommend going through her February posts. Hunter feasts, village views and Speedo vending machines! It's a must read month.
