Walk

I took a long way today - about three and a half miles long - during which I listened to the birds, searched the trees for signs of life, and pondered the importance of a good sports bra. On my walk I noticed a few things:

1. A cute, cute, cute Golden Retriever puppy. Awww!
2. A gazillion young moms in yoga pants pushing those special strollers for working out with your baby.
3. A tall, gray-haired man pushing a two-year-old boy in aforementioned stroller.
4. A woman with a labradoodle who was very proud of her dog and talking on her blue-tooth about being laid-off
5. Only one person smiled in passing, and only one said hello. Man, do I miss the South!
6. One Asian family.
7. Little old ladies.
8. People wearing gloves. Whaaaat?

Today is one of those fantastic days that makes you eager for spring and the coming summer. There's sun, there's green, there's a clear, blue sky; there's hope. Mmm, after the long, freezing winter, that's a good thing.

SO good to hear that spring is springing somewhere in the world ... they're predicting 6 inches of snow here in MN. Bah!
