Walking

Walking


It has not been a winter of inviting walking. Not very productive, in other words. It has been one of the coldest in a long time, even though the snows haven’t been deep. So my limbs have been staved off. It’s been an effort to keep them strong and flexible. And a real push to keep them moving.

Now there is promise of spring. Warm and sunny days, beautiful lighting with the bright sunshine. The sun has put an excitement in everyone’s heart, and we’re taking full advantage. We know, being in Colorado, we may still see our deepest snows yet. But the warmth of the sun keeps us wishing and hoping. We try not to be selfish, the grass fires have started, meaning we do need more moisture. Occasionally, we do have to seek shade from the heat of the sun. Thoughts of planting come to mind, even though I commented last year there would not be a garden this year, too much hard work for so little yield. But the walks in the sunshine bring longings to have your hands in the dirt, sprouting plants and your own fresh fruits and veggies.
