I mourned our afternoons at the pool and have replaced the pool with walks on the trail.  We never get very far due to the fact that my walking buddy is much more into discovering leaves, pinecones and mud.  What's that quote about it's not about the destination but the journey? Yeah, our walks are like that...but, that's fine by me!

He's been asking for his very own basket so we got this one for him at a yard sale over the weekend. It now comes with us on our walks and it comes home full of rocks, pine straw, pine cones and what ever else he finds a long the way...

He needed a break!
