Day 3 Take a picture of a backyard

A Walk In A Small Town

Day 3-here we are! and the weather has been perfect for getting outdoors. Today was crisp and sunny, unless you went out later in the day, then it was cold, windy, and a bit cloudy.....but still good.
For the last few years I've gone to stay at my mom's house in Dundas, Ontario for a couple weeks the end of January, so I'm currently outdoorsing it in the small town I grew up in. The wonderful thing (other than staying with my mom) is it's a beautiful historic town; the weird thing is, I can't stop looking at the face's of everyone I meet and wonder if I went to school with them. So far-No. Apparently everyone I went to school with did like me and moved away-seriously I come back and visit 4-5 times a year, and have never seen anyone I went to school with. But, in the circular way of the universe, I do have a good friend who lives in Dundas, however, I met her because she grew up next door to my sister in a different small town-Simcoe, Ontario. These photos are of her backyard in Dundas.

PS: Tania, if your neighbor mentions someone was creeping around your backyard, it was just me. Talk soon.

I'll leave you with this story of community and hope

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

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.

Good For You Momma

 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.
