Did you know once you establish a comfortable speed for you as a walker then you will know how many miles you have walked. Noel has a fast pace and we can pretty much count an hour as being 4 miles. Mark is the mathematician but it works out.
Today it was Mark and I. Water Street was great as usual. We discussed kids today. His are all grown, married or finishing up college. I said Kathryn was upset last weekend when a car hit me in a gas station. I was pumping gas and went on the passenger side to clean my window when a car whipped past and I felt my leg start burning. She was careless in darting through the pump area like that but my leg is doing better. When I was sitting in the second seat my leg propped up I turned around to see Kathryn in tears. She does love me!
We walked through Edinburg and cut up one of the side street to Printz Street past the mayor's home. The mayor has an old farm house and it looks to be in very good shape. As we walked down Printz there are some cute homes that have been well cared for.
We walked across Stoney Creek Blvd and went down an alley that borders the creek. Forsythia and daffodils were in bloom. Spring is coming out all around us. I think we need a breath of spring and perhaps everyone's mental attitude with the financial climate will improve. Doom and gloom seem to be the best selling products the media can find. Lately there have been some really reports in housing and the stock market. So it seems we have been through the worse. At least here in the DC area.
I am also noticing lots of building starting. Residential and commercial throughout the area. We went to Richmond with Kathryn for a bowling tournament and along rt.33 outside of Charlottesville there has been a lot houses built in the last year or so.
I digress. The walk down the alley is quite picturesque and there were ducks and geese swimming together. As a duck passed by a goose, the goose reached out and pecked him. Perhaps they stay together for safety but actually don't really like each other.
We came back up on Water Street and cut through to the subdivision on Grove Ave. School buses were out and life was bustling.
A great sunrise and we get another chance to enjoy the day!
Keep walkin,
Ron
