Rest. Nap as often as you need;life can be exhausting – store up. Cry. Let your feelings be known –your voice is your saving grace. Joy is a whole body experience;immerse yourself in total delight.

You are 100% right about that. Growing up in Indiana, trees were king. Out here it’s rocks.

The path looks so inviting…and walkable. What a brilliant idea – to convert a rail line for that purpose. A nice and even walking surface too. I hope you are able to walk there more often as time goes on. Such beautiful scenery.

WoW! I am not sure I have ever see a mink in the wild. Thats so cool. A beautiful walk to boot. I absolutely love tree lined walkways. They seem to be an intimation. Come this way… Very nice. Donna

Thanks Donna. There used to be mink farms in the area – I think this is one of the leftovers.
