I don't know about you, but I spend way too much time on my computer. Often when I'm working at my desk I see people walking along the creek, or jogging, or biking, and I say to myself, "
Get off your dupa, Lynn, and get outside!!" (My dad's 100% Polish so "dupa" was used a lot in my home growing up - hope it doesn't offend anyone!)
Well, the other day I listened. I laced up my hiking boots and grabbed my Sony Walkman, credit card, journal, and camera and headed for town. Sunday was another lovely day and it felt really good to get my blood pumping and legs moving.
The creek is way down since we've hardly had any snow this winter. The geese are very active already and I saw quite a few splashing about in the cold water today.
Walking past the waterfall is a must on any walk through town. The creek runs right under Main Street and is a popular spot for wedding photos and picnics.
It's always a good idea to leave a little "joy" wherever we wander. A little guardrail on the edge of the road seemed in need of a little "graffiti".
The sun's warmth will soon melt away this icy heart - just like the Son's warmth melts many an icy heart.
Seems way to early for these guys to be poking through the ground. Nature is surely confused this year. But I was happy to see the first sign of Spring!
Do you ever feel like you're on the brink ... on the edge ... headed for a fall? I sure do! I like to remember: "Though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand." (Psalm 37:24)
As I walked up from the waterfall and down the brick walkway, I noticed this tender tribute. So true.
We have a shop that sells handmade items from local craftsmen. Isn't this little owl cute? Of course I thought, "
I could make that!" But I never will.
I warmed up at Spot Coffee and enjoyed a little "pick-me-up" before heading home. And yes, that is an old school Walkman and dorky headphones. And yes, I felt like a dork. A cheap, frugal, practical dork. Works for me!
Thanks for your visit and prayers for my mom. Time will heal her fractured back and for now, she has pain meds, a back brace, and the love and support of her family. Just one more test to rule out cancer in her spine and then we'll really be able to breathe easy. Thanks again!
