Lovely Spring Days...

I came home from work today with every intention of working at the barn. However, after doing my chores, fixing supper and cleaning up the dishes, it was already starting to get dark.  So...I walked instead.

First...I am really out of shape.  Have been for many years.  Today I decided to walk out across the Christmas tree farm in front of us.  I walked all the way to the first road, which is quite a hike for me at this time, and back.  Yes...I did get winded, but stopped in the road and rested before staring back.  I really need to do this every evening to build up some stamina.  The scenery is quite lovely (as you can see below) and, other than the gun club shooting next door, it's rather quiet.  The sun is setting, there's a cool light breeze, the birds are singing and it's just relaxing...other than the heavy breathing I'm doing.  Ha!

Learned:

1) The walking was easier today.  I'm guessing because I've been working outside more lately.

2) Wearing yoga pants gives my back the support it needs to keep it from hurting and slowing me down.

3)  I really need to do this every day.


Lots of trees. Note: This was taken earlier in the day.


My starting point. I'll show how far I walk later on.


Rocks!  Yep, there are lots of big rocks at my stopping point before I head back to the house.  If you know me, you know I love rocks.
