Yesterday was sunny and beautiful with blue skies and 26 degree temperatures that the weather app said felt like 19. Luckily, that little chill in the air didn’t deter me from heading out for a walk at a local state park.
I mean, what’s a little cold when it’s such a pretty day?
The wind off the lake was frigid and it was mostly me, the Canada Geese and a few other hardy souls out soaking up as much Vitamin D as you can absorb through a hat and three layers of clothing.
If I were working from the office, I would likely be swinging by the lake after work at least some nights to squeeze in a walk. Unfortunately, in my work from home routine, it’s hard to pry me out of the house on a cold day save for feeding the birds. That’s only because they sit on their empty feeder and stare at me sitting at my desk until I do something about it.
While I didn’t cherish the thought of going out in the freezing cold, I relished every moment of my three mile walk and realized that I haven’t smiled so much in ages.
I need to do that more often.
Do more of what makes you smile, friends. I promise you won’t regret it.
This weekend really didn’t go as planned. We had a cold snap last week and the sun went into hiding until Monday morning. It rained part of the time and threatened to rain the rest.
Afterward, I took a drive to see a covered bridge that I’ll tell you about tomorrow. For now, here’s a picture.
On the way home, I pulled over to snap a photo of the Wellston Rotary Club’s Field of Heroes.
Small towns really are the best.
I walked with a friend at a local park yesterday.
It was a beautiful day for a long walk at a familiar place.
I always say the official mascot here is the Canada Geese. Yesterday didn’t disappoint. They were everywhere.
There are some places where I never tire of spending time. Lake Alma State Park falls into this category. My favorite feature here is is the nice bike path that stretches past the lake and into the nearby City of Wellston.
And the road.
