Yesterday Kelley did not want to hike but today she was ok. I'm going to try hiking every other day. I think her age is starting to tell - she will be 9 in August.
Today - upper 40's but sunny with little wind so a pretty good day to be in the woods. Still no leaves on the trees or wildflowers and the light was very contrasty so not a good day for photos.
Freshly cut stump
First small stream
Parts of the trails were still pretty wet or muddy - no problem for Kelley.
Another stump
Taking an apple break. She eats quickly and so usually gets part of my half too.
Another wet section
Kelley did well and I let her choose parts of the route. She is definitely slower and I slowed to her pace - I naturally walk fast - and this seemed to work well. We had the place to ourselves so a nice peaceful hike. 1 3/4 hours
Love the stump photos--you always find nice things (even if there aren't any flowers yet!)
ReplyDeleteGlad Kelley was better today.
Thanks Sue- not only no flowers, it's snowing (lightly) as I write this.
DeleteI always admire the way you get out to hike everyday. Poor Kelley.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim - for Kelley, I'm now trying every other day. Off days she lays around the yard and sleeps- gives me a chance to finally get the garden ready.
