Day 15: The River Was High

Day 15: The River Was High

Welcome Challengers and congratulations we are half way there. My blog writing muscles are out of shape but I’ll try my best here. 

Humber
Yesterday  Mr. January Baby and I went for a walk down in the Humber and  came home different people. That’s the power of fresh air sunshine and the sound of running water. 
The sound of moving water grounds me in a way few other things do. Waves lapping, a brook over stones or the roar of the river like yesterday. Even for Mr. January, going to the river calms him and pulls him to play. I picked up a big stick and he said “give it to me.” I laughed and handed it over and he threw it in the river and we watched the current pull it downstream. Then he spent the next ten minutes skipping stones. 



The view along the river banks, looking up through the trees, gives a view you don’t see in the summer time. The backs of the big houses along the hill top.

 

We’ve spent a lot of Valentine’s days together me and Mr January and this one was a good one. Time together at the river strolling along with no hurry, no urgency, no ‘let’s go, let’s go’. 

That was the real gift. 

Until tomorrow Challengers-have an outdoorsy day

I would like to talk about something I witnessed in town over the last several weeks. As I mentioned previously, we had a Polar Vortex. It was too cold to walk to the grocery store, let alone just sit outside all day. Which is what a member of this town had been doing for months.

My Winter Walks
My Winter Walks

I am just back from a walk along the country road where I live, a road bordered by fields and stands of trees. My intention was to get some exercise, which meant covering some distance at a reasonable pace. My intention is important, as it affects many other choices: type of shoes, clothing, walking poles, water, binoculars, camera etc.

 After stopping for the dogs to poop and stopping to change Jett’s diaper (twice) we were off!! We walked through a sunny meadow, climbed up the frozen cascades and returned via a side trail that skirted the riverbank. Bliss.
