A trail through the woods

Giving Thanks Challenge Day Number 26

I am Thankful for Comfortable Walking Shoes.

With all the walking i do i need shoes that fit well 

and are comfortable.

My feet are very thankful.

It was 30 degrees when i walked this morning but there was no wind and this is what i got to look at when i started.  I'm sure it is God's way of saying Good Morning to me! : )

 I walked along paths and sidewalks in the neighborhoods on no particular route.  Walking down a path i travel frequently i saw a trail go off into the woods.  I've seen it before but it wasn't defined like it is here.

So this time i followed it and it made its way along side a brook. 

I walked along the trail until i came to the end of it which was by one of the footbridges i walked across earlier.  It is not very far, only about 1/2 mile.  When i got to the end i turned around and went back to the path and continued my walk. 

I'd like to make trails defined like this with branches and wood chips between them on our land.  I can just see me making trails all over the place.  With 8 acres i could get my 6 mile walk in without ever leaving.  

I know what i'd like for my birthday next May - a wood chipper!!!  : )  I am not kidding either.  I can't wait to get started making my trails.  Too bad it wasn't spring coming up instead of winter.  

The only people i saw out were a couple walking their two dogs and a man putting out bags of leaves that he raked the day before.  All 30 of them.

I spotted three deer and heard a woodpecker but couldn't find it.

After the beautiful sunrise the clouds came along and covered it back up so i walked in a cloudy morning.  Still it was a great morning for walking.

I walked 6.7 miles.

We are hanging around the house here this morning but will probably go out and do some errands after lunch.  

A happy Saturday to you all.
