Tonight, I took another jaunt around the neighborhood. I went earlier because rain was expected after seven o’clock. In the spirit of adventure and curiosity, I followed a different route through the developments behind us.
I started to speed walk mindlessly until thoughts of Puccini reminded me to slow down, especially through an unfamiliar path and scenery. An unexpected surprise was the Village Square.
Central to this cluster of newer developments, Village Square features walkways with benches, some shrubbery, and a staging area for gatherings and events. I have lived here for seven years and had never seen this!
As I continued my trek, a blanket of clouds loomed in the distance, heavy with moisture. Would I make it home before the rainfall?
I reached the lane and knew that the remainder of my walk would be dry. Nothing looked familiar coming from this direction, which was a little disorienting. It made me realize that there is still so much more for me to notice. A birdsong symphony concluded this evening’s walk.
I really do miss my little princess.
Passing time caring for critters.
Creating while they nap.
