I have been absent for a few weeks because a new firm and then some time off. This morning though I made up for lost time walking twice, about 7 miles altogether. Lots of things have been happening and I think good altogether.
First the foliage has blossomed, becoming full and rounded with all the rain of the past week. My daughter lost my camera so I am trying to download pictures from my phone to show you. The temperature was nice at around 60 degrees. It was almost too cool but then warmed up for the second walk.
The ducks and geese are still parenting their young. The newbies are almost full grown, making me wonder what sort of life span they have. Maybe we look like dinosaurs living for 50-100 years.
The paper today said the stock market took a dive yesterday stating that the economy was not turning around fast enough. Yesterday I read a report from Dr. Fuller at George Mason University stating our area may have a housing shortage in the near future. This reminded of a report on scientific reporting that came out earlier this week that stated you can't trust any scientific data. I believe that translates to any data.
While walking the hot air balloon was out. I hadn't seen it for a while. So people are out and enjoying life. That's a good thing! Once the sun came up everything on the walk looked rich and fully alive. We were walking down an old farm road which runs along Stoney Creek when we saw the balloon. I think the farmer had planted soybeans and they were about a foot high.
So maybe my lesson learned today is new life every day.
Keep walkin,
Ron
