So we walked...

How can you explain that you need to know that the trees are still there, and the hills and the sky?  Anyone knows they are.  How can you say it is time your pulse responded to another rhythm, the rhythm of the day and the season instead of the hour and the minute?  No, you cannot explain.  So you walk.

Boy, it was a hot one in Chicago today!!  It almost hit 100!  It didn't stop Lar from taking a walk with his sister.  He is so fortunate to live in an area of the city with walking paths through the park and by the water.  We walked for awhile and then sat on a park bench watching the people running and working out in this heat....as we sat in the shade dripping with sweat from our stroll.
His staples come out on Wednesday - he will not be sad to see those go!


Today was a good day.


Sox it to it Lar.....

  1. Sounds like a nice walk with a special gal. It was about 103 here in SE OK, but we can't compete with good old Chicago humidity. Staples out should make for another good day. You look good.

  2. Make that last heading to read UB & AC. This heat has made me a touch more spastic than normal.
