Saturday Long Walk

Lily thoroughly enjoyed our off-roading down the road from the house where we found a lake, and people's houses on the lake and then we carefully snuck back into the woods.
Can't believe this lake was less than 2 miles from the house and had NO idea it was there.  I could just make out some water way down in the woods and I wasn't sure if it was a creek or lake/pond so Lily and I hiked through the woods down to it to check it out.

About 2.5 miles from the house after our road turns into a dirt road it crosses this creek, often in the summer it is just a dry bed but I could even hear it rushing from the road today.
Lily was stalking anything floating in the water.  I didn't see any minnows or anything fun for her to go after, I can't wait until she sees her first fish in the water!
She traipsed all through the woods and briars without thinking twice, before long I won't be able to get down to the creek with all the underbrush grown up. 
Lily was scared of all the dogs we encountered on our walk but at least she wasn't afraid of our shadows.

One More Night

I've got one more night at work and then ROAD TRIP with the mom. So last year about this same time our road trip looked like this:
I am certain that this year will be just as much fun if not more and will include lots of silly photos hopefully a wooden cut-out to put our faces in and maybe a photo booth.

Beautiful Day For A Hike

Decided yesterday evening as I was leaving for work that I really wanted to get outside today so Dausset Trails here I come. I went by the gym first for strength: BICEPS and BACK and then decided to do some CARDIO (just in case I took a leisurely hike through the woods). I ran by the house for a quick ham and mustard sammie then off to enjoy nature. These frog eggs were sunning in a collection of water on a big rock by the creek. I managed to eek out some jogging along the trail off and on and manufactured some vitamin D in the super bright noontime sun. Everywhere you can see the signs of spring popping up with little buds on all the trees and not to forget the sniffy nose = )
