Walking Wednesday March 1, 2023

A grid with images of flowers seen on my walks this week.

Despite snow last weekend the flowers are really starting to bloom around here now. Love to see it! I’ve been spending more and more time outside and less and less time in the gym. That’s as it should be!

I bailed on the Julia Child biography I was listening to, and have moved on to A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende.

We had a three day weekend which meant I actually got to go walking in the mountains! I used to do that every weekend, but now that my kids are older it’s harder to get away. It was so nice to be back. I also took a few walks in the neighborhood when work wasn’t so crazy I was glued to my chair all day. Soon it will be light at night again, and it will be much easier to fit these walks in!

I just started listening to Dearie by Bob Spitz. It’s a biography of Julia Child that my library had available in the Libby app.

Seems like we’re not going to get much of a winter this year, so I am embracing spring. Flowers are poking out on my walks, and I started putting a few seeds in. I’d prefer sledding and hot chocolate, but this is nice too.

I’ve been listening to A Single Thread by Tracy Chevalier. It’s a book made for walking and puttering.

I decided to start my Walking Wednesday posts back up again. I had been running mostly at the gym for a while, and then I hurt my foot. In December I decided I missed walking outside too much and I had to make time to at least take some short walks and record what I see. My favorite walks are when I can space out and listen to audio books, but sometimes I drag my kids along as well.

I’ve been listening to Gone With The Wind all month and I still have 20+ hours to go!
