We had a three day weekend which meant I actually got to go walking in the mountains! I used to do that every weekend, but now that my kids are older it’s harder to get away. It was so nice to be back. I also took a few walks in the neighborhood when work wasn’t so crazy I was glued to my chair all day. Soon it will be light at night again, and it will be much easier to fit these walks in!

I just started listening to Dearie by Bob Spitz. It’s a biography of Julia Child that my library had available in the Libby app.

Seems like we’re not going to get much of a winter this year, so I am embracing spring. Flowers are poking out on my walks, and I started putting a few seeds in. I’d prefer sledding and hot chocolate, but this is nice too.

I’ve been listening to A Single Thread by Tracy Chevalier. It’s a book made for walking and puttering.

I decided to start my Walking Wednesday posts back up again. I had been running mostly at the gym for a while, and then I hurt my foot. In December I decided I missed walking outside too much and I had to make time to at least take some short walks and record what I see. My favorite walks are when I can space out and listen to audio books, but sometimes I drag my kids along as well.

I’ve been listening to Gone With The Wind all month and I still have 20+ hours to go!
