Week Three of Morning Walking

The grandkids (ages 11 & 13) spent a few days this week. Sadly the weather wasn't perfect for all the activities we had planned. 

Monday, April 3rd, 6:41 a.m.

Despite gale force winds & a new squealing from the brakes on the car, on Monday after work, we drove up to the lake to get ice cream from Bev's, which had just opened.

The weather was definitely too rainy & blustery on Tuesday to go for a walk. The first one missed. But Wednesday, the grandkids joined us on our morning walk. We startled a rabbit from our side yard, which bounded down the driveway and across the street.

Thursday, April 6th, 6:44 a.m.

Thursday was still dark & grey with no sign of the sun.

Friday, April 7th, 6:45 a.m.

But on Friday, the sun was fully above the horizon on our trip back.

I'm sure I'll miss the sunrises over the summer, but I will not miss the frosty cold!

Sunday, April 9th, 7:53 a.m.

This morning, there were so many birds singing. One sounded like a fake bird call from a movie! But when we got to the far end of our walk, we both stopped just to listen. There were no cars driving by or other people. Just all this bird song.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate!
