A while back we took a walk.
We take this walk often because it is perfect for little and big legs alike.
It also keeps the grown-up's blood moving if you keep at brisk kid pace.
These kids are swift.
Up and down little hills.
Through mossy soft trees and around lily pad pile-ups.
This is the only place I have ever been,
that you start in a damp forest where you are sure fairies live,
(They do! I just know it!)
and end up on a rocky seashore with foghorns in the distance.
We hit the shore this particular trip,
just in time for low low tide and these kids hunted and observed for hours.
The waves when rushing in and out fast,
make the rocks wiggle just so.
They make a sound that always reminds me of our first walk here.
It was three years ago, before we even had a house.
But we had a favorite walk.
The sky out here is darker and the air cooler.
The rain has returned after a long sunny break.
Its windy and the water is less than calm.
I bet the rocks are making that sound out there right now.
And the horizon surely is hidden, the foghorn steady.
To get back to the car, we curve around the lake, back through the moss.
A nice loop.
Time for another walk.
(Or a visit to see the fairies. Depends on who you ask.)
Happy Wednesday!
I love those lily pads! I've been thinking about you a lot since I've been in Alaska. What a pristine and beautiful environment to raise your children. Grady has been referring to your boys as "his friends in Kodiak". I love it. Went to the Anchorage Museum yesterday and learned about the artists, Vincent Colyer and Sydney Laurence. So much to absorb here.

ReplyDeleteEveryone worries about the fact that what if their certain investment goes wrong? The same is the case with the home inspection industry. When a homeowner decides to get an inspection done for his house, he is often confused between a great number of options to choose from as this industry is very saturated and people often feel overwhelmed due to the choices they have to make. To make this easy for you, Top to Bottom Services have a thorough plan to choose their home inspectors who will visit your house to see if there is any problem existing there or not. They undergo rigorous training and comprehensive onboarding before going to perform a solo inspection and also have several certifications to prove their authenticity and expertise and the fact that they are the best Mold inspection Gaithersburg MD has.
