Long shadows, long walk.

It was a terribly hot day and by 7pm, I suggested we try taking a walk to get some fresh air. It was still sunny, but there was a pleasant breeze. We walked and walked, mom asked if this was the way home and I kept saying yes until we finally got home. It was a long but refreshing walk.

Is that your car?

Every time we walk past my street, she glances over to find my silver Honda van and says "there's your car, in front of your house. I always see it there."

You can see the van in the background in this picture.

Stop and smell the roses

These bright roses are growing right outside the house and mom wondered what they smelled like. "They have no scent, but they have color!" she said.

Evening walk to end the weekend

Mom and I had a very enjoyable walk this evening after a very hot and eventful rollercoaster of a weekend. Deep breath... Fresh air...

Out on a walk with Jax the dog

Mom was happy to get out of the house this evening and it was such beautiful refreshing weather. We decided to stop by my house and bring Jax with us. He was happy, she was intrigued by his actions, and it was a pleasant adventure. Eventually, mom was ready to head home and suggested that we leave the dog there in the park. 

Overcast day

This morning we had breakfast together. Dad was already setting up the table when I came in. Mom welcomed me by name and was very excited to see me. She said she had missed me and asked where I had been!

Dad had already gone for his walk very early that morning, so Mom and I went together. It was perfect weather, overcast, with a slight breeze. 

Such a nice clean blue house

On our way back home mom always comments on how nice the neighbors painted their house. It's right on the corner of the street, painted blue with white trim. She says it looks so clean!
