So, just after I posted about how cold it was here in Ohio, we had the most beautiful “spring-like” weekend with temps in the 60’s and sunshine and I was back in shorts! <\/p>\n

Overnight, the grass looks a little greener, there are buds on some of the bushes and LOOK!<\/p>\n

\"Daffodil<\/p>\n

\"Daffodil<\/p>\n

Daffodils poking their heads up! And the air feels soft with that hint of warm that feels like spring morning.<\/p>\n

Too nice to be inside and considering the amount of food and wine consumed – between friends of many years duration (I am not supposed to say “old” friends…) – anyway, we decided long walks were in order. We have been walking around the “block”.<\/p>\n

\"Country\"<\/p>\n

…I’d like to say a country mile – except it is a country “square mile”. Not that exactly either as part of the “block” winds around and would be more like 5 miles so we cut short the 3rd mile leg and walk back along the railroad tracks.<\/p>\n

\"Country\"<\/p>\n

There is something that feels adventurous about walking on the railroad tracks – like we are being a bit “bad” – breaking some rule…<\/p>\n

On the road, we walk in the middle as there is very little traffic – not that many houses and the fields are too wet for the farmers to be working so it is mostly just the two of us.<\/p>\n
