Being locked down for the pandemic was not good for my attitude. However, we did explore some new places to walk in our area and found a very pretty regional park. Lots of paths and trees. The squirrels, duck, hummingbirds and other birds make it so lively. Although no longer locked down, we continue to walk this park. It’s still good for my attitude!
This is a contribution to Becky’s Squares on walking this month.
Our local Regional Park has some new little goslings and they are adorable! They’re perfect for Becky’s Squares challenge for April “Bright”. Lots of perkiness and brightness here!
This is for April Squares “Bright” at Beckyb of Winchester.
We don’t use them much anymore, now that most of us aren’t farmers or mariners, but weathervanes still grace our world and add some whimsy. Whichever direction, smile and enjoy!
When I need a quiet place just to think and reflect, I find myself drawn to the beauty and peace of a cemetery. Far from being spooky, I find them places of beautiful sculpture that I find calming. In our older cemeteries, they are filled with the names of people no one now remembers or even knew. But I know they too had their struggles, hope, dreams, and challenges. This is a reminder to me that whatever is bothering me will eventually pass. Life goes on for me, for now. And I must seize the moments I have.
How do they swim? No fins, just chubby little stalks for legs. No gills. Turtles look like rocks on the bank of the pond. And they swim!!
I vote for the I-70 through Utah as one of my favorite routes. The scenery is breathtaking. The mountains are multi-colored and the road winds around to show changing vistas with every few miles. The gorges and buttes and rivers are incredible.
We’ve just returned from a trip through several states and I keep thinking of this particular stretch of highway. It was so enjoyable!
We visited this great old mining town in Apache Junction AZ as the sun was setting. The hills were ablaze and the town charming. Unfortunately, everything was closed up for the day; so it is definitely a place to revisit. The website is at http://goldfieldghosttown.com/ for more information. The amount of old equipment on display was incredible; I found it all fascinating.
