Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
Since we live in the city and not the new suburbs, there are few sidewalks and few parks. We have about 3 routes we take when we walk, but sometimes we stay closer to home. Then, for me, the most notable place is Will Rogers High School. It is a beautiful Art Deco building constructed in the 1930s. I have been inside a couple of times and it is stunning in décor as well. We don't build school buildings like that any more. They are so much more utilitarian. Next to the school is the athletic field where they are constructing a new field house and bleachers. There is someone there who checks temperatures before the men can actually go to work. Some of the more interesting people or things we see are beautiful crepe myrtles or immaculate yards. There is one elderly man on one route who sits in his yard some mornings. There is not a blade of grass out of place and the shrubs are so neat. Most mornings when we see him, he is doing something in the yard, edging, trimming, or sitting in his chair which is a permanent fixture in his front yard. One house has a sign that says “A woman's place is in the resistance.” Yeah! For her. We keep thinking we will see someone at that house and ask them about that. So far, no luck! One house has a beautiful tile mosaic on the side. You can hardly see it for all the plants and other things in the yard. Whether it is wooded, or nature filled, I like walking and it is my favorite way to get some exercise. I really enjoy being outside and stretching my legs and feeling the power of that. I really can't describe the sensation, but it is so satisfying! I am with Jan on this one. My pulled muscle appears to have resolved itself after two weeks off and I am very grateful for the opportunity to return to a favorite pastime. --Carolyn
