Yesterday I decided I had missed enough beautiful days doing nothing much in particular, so I decided to go for a walk.  Alone.  Of course it was no longer a beautiful warm sunny day; it was cold and the sky was gray.  But still, a walk alone would be nice.  Deciding to walk to town I began my journey.  It’s only a mile from my house to downtown, but there’s a lot to see along the way.

First stop, perhaps a third of a mile into the trip was the local cemetery.  I’d always meant to stop by and look at some of the older markers from the town’s founding fathers.  It’s a pretty cemetery, quite small, and as I came to realize, very old.

Then on down the road to a little park with a bridge to get over the creek that runs from the mill pond into the wetlands.  Almost to town!  

And there it is, the entirety of our downtown.  Well, there is a little more…

…the other side of the street!

Along the way I enraged two sets of doggies in the windows…This Bulldog, Beagle and Minpin who had been sleeping on the ledge inside the bay window…

…and this pair of  Bichons who could hardly stand that I was walking by their house!

On the way back home (which is pretty much all uphill by the way!) I stopped to take a photo of a pretty wild crabapple tree.

And then the crabby Dairy-Queen tree!

And finally a wild apple tree that had just a few apples hanging out at the end of her limbs, as if they were Christmas ornaments.

As I walked up my driveway there was little Katie, not even mad that I had gone on a walk without her.  Just happy to see me as always.  Today, of course, it’s bright sunshine.  I think Katie and I will go to the park.
