that IS exciting news that i can relate to! i too envision getting back in the pool one of these days once the SI joint is settled down a bit, so i understand the excitement of getting back to something we once loved doing. and anticipation is rewarding in itself. keep up the good work, but don't be like me; meaning, when i find i can do something, i often do it with gusto and abandonment, go overboard, and have to back up a little, so please ease into it! smile

today, we went for the same walk, but went a bit further, to the old beaver pond, a mere remnant of what it was, impressive how much effect the beavers had, til farmer brown dredged it / removed the dam. the old beaver dwelling is there, the entrances are now exposed where they used to be under water. no idea if the beavers still live there or have moved on.

what a pretty day too. overcast most of the day, but then the sun came out during our walk, but still lots of clouds in the sky, so very dramatic skies with sun shining through and illuminating the clouds. and the weather was perfect for walking: a bit chilly early on, so wore a sweater, but once i got moving, tied the sweater around my waist and was very comfortable.

walked 2 miles, 60 minutes (picture taking and a bum knee slowed me down, but had a great time none-the-less).
