Day 102 Jan.27 2011

today was one of those walk outside and blink until you can see straight days.  at 1400 the sun was brilliant and bright.  there was a very slight breeze, just enough to spread the smell of spring everywhere. 

this beautiful, serene, calm image was shattered by 5 boisterous, babbling army wives clad in work-out attire pushing strollers full of equally loud infants all being dragged by barking, panting dogs...

...this made me smile ear to ear.

we walked about 4 miles round trip as a living breathing mass of mom, passing dog leashes back and forth, children and bottles from arm to arm, wiping snotty noses as we saw them and dodging the construction crew men and vehicles who were installing solar lights along our trail.  it's one of those afternoons that makes me so happy to be where i am and doing what i do :)
