What did you see on your walk?

I was up early for a Sunday.  The sun had risen and the morning fog was moist in the air.  Late August in the south can be so humid you can't hardly be outside but today the coolness was as welcome as Christmas.  I walked without the fast tempo that I normally walk on weekday mornings.  Today was not about the exercise.  Today was about the venture.



 I wanted to see what I could see on my walk and take note of it.  To often we get in such a big hurry we fail to take note of  all the beauty that surrounds us. Late summer produces so many flowers and so many animals that are on the move.






I live on Dog River and every morning the views are so fantastic.  Mostly enjoyed before the sun arrives.

Several animals greeted me on my walk.  A turtle that had just crossed the road, a crab headed back into the swamp
a crab that was just as curious about me as I was about him.

I felt like I needed to take the time to smell the roses again because the news of Scott'c cancer returning just shakes you to the core.  His reprieve from the cancer was so short lived. Cancer and it's treatments are to hard on the body.  The miricle drug could have worked for 6 months of 6 years. The Dr's not knowing that answer.  We found out the answer this week.

Praying for the family and for Scott is all we can do now, so the Sunday morning walk was very important.

Plight of a new phone

When you are fed up you knee jerk to something new.  Phone providers are not doing what they should.  15 years means nothing to them. That doesn't  feel good.  New phones and new tablet along with new internet.  It is a real struggle. Not fun at first....but it will get to be just fine.  Just want to go back to the simplicity of years gone by.  My aunt talks of the time 75 years ago when their phone number was two shorts and a long and shortly after the Shrout phone number was 6327.  Oh when life was simple.talkking across the country was for the few and cost you some serious money.  I guess I should be so happy that I can snap, Instagram and Facebook from my kitchen on a device that fits in the palm of my hand.
