Wednesday was an incredibly lousy day, for reasons I'm trying hard to forget, so I hoped a walk would help things out...
 |
| Chris with the in-flight snap for the win! |
 |
| Yeah, might be a tad soggy to mow the soccer fields. Maybe if you'd have put in DRAINAGE TILES like I TOLD you... |
 |
| "Hmm... sign says, "Field Closed..." |
 |
| "Meh. Fine, I'm leaving. Too soggy, anyway." |
 |
| Chris finds the "Orphaned golf ball" patch for the win, again! |
 |
| Me 'n' Big Guy |
 |
| Check this out... he's asleep! |
 |
| Mid-pic is the runoff... bottom right is the trail... about an inch and a half to 3 deep... |
 |
| Most of the Jacks have flowered and faded... this guy's still going strong... |
 |
| Stopped at the bridge |
 |
And walked down old haunts...
|
This is where we walked
This is where we swam
Take a picture here
Take a souvenir...
Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I've got is a photograph
And I realize you're not coming back anymore...
...and then down the ravine trail, and to the alumni pond, asking them, "Do you miss him? You should. He loved you so much... he loved the walks, the wading... making me cross the road just to make it last longer...."
Needless to say, the string of 'crying walks' has not been snapped...
Chris:
ReplyDelete---those are some wonderful photos.
(deer reading the sign...I like that).
---Drainage tiles like YOU told them (well, that made too much sense, and you KNOW how the city feels about THAT, right?)
---That bird was ASLEEP? Were things that serene? Geez, send some of that down here.
---Like all those we love who depart from our lives, they've only shed their earthly form. They are still with us, and remembering them, hard as it is on many days, serves as a testament to ho well we loved, and shared, and smiled.
(I live with it every day)
Hope that came across right.
Hang in there and stay strong up there, brother.
It was pretty serene, but I'm thinking the wife just kicked him out of the upstairs apartment...
