A Very Good Day!

It was an absolutely beautiful weekend here.  

Who could imagine the difference a few days would make.

A week ago we woke to snow and more cold 

(we have had more extreme cold than snow).   

This weekend, though the mornings were cool, the sun shone and beckoned us to put down the book, the knitting, turn off the computer and head outdoors.

And, we didn't hesitate to answered the call.

We spent the afternoon walking the trails of a nearby park, enjoying the sun and fresh air.
The paths were crowded with individuals, couples and families.  There were runners, walkers, strollers and bikers.  Smiles and hellos were abundant.  It was just that kind of day.

With the sun setting we began our trek back.  Occasionally I could hear something moving along with me,  hidden by the brush.  It was a bit spooky (it is too cold for snakes?); I couldn't resist. Though R. and Willie continued to walk, I stopped, listened and waited.  Our companion remained elusive.  It wasn't until we had almost reach the end of the trail, I spied a park occupant.

He stopped while I fished my phone out of my pocket.  Though shy, he didn't seem
too bothered by my presence.

He showed me his profile.

Then, "No more photos, please"

And he was gone.

As the  armadillo was probably just waking,
my day was coming to a close.

Who knows what will come tomorrow; it is winter.
This was a very good day!

I'm wishing you beautiful days, soon!
