The Cat Made Me Do It

I didn’t sleep much last night. Little one was up with allergy troubles. I’ve got a stuffy nose and it’s hard to breathe. I remember seeing the clock turn 2, 3, 5.

When my alarm went off this morning I looked out the window and the sun was shining. No way was I going to let my lack of sleep prevent me from enjoying it. This was the nicest morning so far this year.

I made a call and arranged plans to go on our towns walking trails. I’d been wanting to go on them for a while, but this was the first chance I’d had. They’re all paved and used quite a bit. We drive by them every day on our way to town.

We chose to take the one that goes around the golf course. I’d seen the beginnings and end of the trail, but had no idea what was along it. A short distance in we came to a pond. It was still frozen over, but there was signs that the ice was getting thinner and water would be appearing soon. There was a cub camp. I had heard about it, but never seen it. They had a few buildings there that they used for their overnights and training. We saw plenty of birdhouse. There were a few birds over head, but it’s still a bit cold for them to be staying.

We had fun watching what was going on around the golf course. They were using a machine to blow the snow off the greens (yes there’s still a few FEET of snow on them!). They had built a new clubhouse (we’d seen a bit of this from the road). I’d never around the greens and can’t wait to try it out this year.

I look forward to many more trips on this path. It’ll be nice to see how things change with the seasons. We’re going to try and walk it at least once a week. On Friday if we’re able, I think I will take the dog around it before we go away for the weekend.
