So, on this spring like day, which finds gardners in the garden, hikers on the trails, and poets in the sunshine, we are pleased to share some feedbacck.
"Why is walking/hiking one of the best, yet most under appreciated activities available? Because it doesn't make millions of dollars for those who need it most, the bean counters.
Walking/hiking not only makes good sense for health reasons, it is still one of the best ways to find and develop meaningful, helpful and delightful social and personal relationships.
Thank you Elaine for the time you put into keeping Whidbey walks going and interesting. "
And thank you for your comments, Leroy.
on Saturday April 28, 2007 Jan writes from Langley, Washington:
"The swallows are back: they were making graceful sweeps around All Washed Up, the Langley laundromat, at 9:30 this morning. My heart thrilled to see them, for last summer they nested in the crossbeams under the porch roof.
[Four little babies' heads bobble over the edge of the nest as I sit watching. Mama sweeps in to bring food and four mouths open, little yellow beaks framing a cavern out of proportion to the size of their little bird bodies.]
Filled with joy at the prospect of seeing the swallows again, I walked down the hill via the alley, and behind Star Store four more were chittering and chattering and conducting aerial acrobatics just above our heads."
And a succinct summary from northern friends, across the border in B.C.
on Saturday, April 28th, Ralph said
"A brisk morning walk today in invigorating near-freezing temperature. Global Warming is doing its thing elsewhere, but here approaching May Day its Area Cooling. No complaints, it could be a lot worse."
So, here is my Spring quandry: IS IT REALLY TIME TO PLANT THE PUMKINS AND BIG SQUASHES ALREADY? If you've got some in the ground, let us know !
And our thanks to all our contributors. |
