Didn't wonder ...I did better on the walk today. Didn't wonder if I was at death's door until the very last leg of the return trip. <br /><br />I can appreciate what it is that people like about this place, yet I know I would never buy land here and settle in such a small town.<br /><br />One beautiful thing: The pine trees are very tall. When the wind blows through the tops of them it sounds like ocean waves as it travels across the mountain. Yet it is only a slight breeze on the deck where I sit. The pine cones fall with a loud thud and I think they would hurt if one hit me. They are larger than a grapefruit.<br /><br />The dog woke us during the night because there were raccoons on the front deck. I hear there are havalina that come out at night. A good reason for me to stay in, I think.<br /><br />It is good here, but it is not my final destination. I think you would like it.Nadine Lamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709289434339532281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422983897713906924.post-26688799659338711132009-09-12T11:33:44.694-07:002009-09-12T11:33:44.694-07:00Just think what awesome shape you'll soon be i...Just think what awesome shape you'll soon be in! I went outside at 6:30 AM today to trim my shrubs and it was so hot that I only did ONE.

Whew. I think we will walk up the road to the water tower later. At least that is up first and down on the return.<br /><br />We laugh a lot, so that is the good part.Nadine Lamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709289434339532281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422983897713906924.post-79272879546609822762009-09-10T06:39:47.632-07:002009-09-10T06:39:47.632-07:00Oh my, quite a contrast from city life indeed.

I bet you will get plenty fit from all this walking and yes, miles uphill are definitely longer than miles downhill.<br /><br />Take it easy though - in stages - or she'll end up looking after you!<br /><br />Enjoy your time my friend.
