WW - Just Passing Through?

Sunday Walk

It felt good to get out and walk.  I've been limited since December in how much or how long I could walk by a bum heel (plantar fascia).  I got the go ahead from the physical therapist to start exercising again.  New shoes make a difference, too but when I get my molded inserts from the podiatrist I should feel even better.

We get the Sunday Washington Post only, so must go up to our mailbox on the main road to get it.  This is a walk down our driveway (1/5 of a mile), up the lane and return down the lane and up our driveway.  One mile round trip.  I took the camera along.

Down our hill to the creek crossing.  Here's a view of the creek and when you look closely ...

you can see the skunk cabbage making an appearance.

And the yellow irises are also greening up there.

Looking up through the glen, our house is up on the right out of the photo, there is no sign of spring yet.

Along the lane this was a bright sight.

I noticed all the critter holes on my way up the lane so made a point of capturing them on my return trip.

Back up almost to the top of our driveway.  Won't be long before the green shows on the grass and trees.

I was greeted at the top by three bluebirds.  This one sat for a portrait.

60º Walk About

Yes, it was in the 60s today with no wind.  Time to walk around the yard to see what's going on.

Join me.

The Glen Garden has no sign of growth.

The pond is full of ice and snow yet.

The garlic is green there in the center bed.

English laurel was the main meal for the deer this winter.

Saw a blue bird earlier so opened up the box to clean it out.

View down our driveway into the wetlands below and pipeline easement beyond.

Nothing growing out front in Mom's Garden.

This hazel nut clump looks strange.  Why is there a bigger trunk?  May have to check once leaves come out to see if there's another kind of tree in there with the hazelnut.

Looking down into the woods.  I didn't get there anytime this winter.

Coming around to the backyard again.

Fairy garden house will need some rebuilding.

Perennial garden still dormant?

No, there's a spot of color from several clumps of crocus.

60º how nice!
