13 weeks. That's how long it has been since I could get out and really take a walk. All the bending, and moving around doing displays last week gave my foot a workout. It was sore and tired but it started to bend, and my balance improved. This afternoon the weather was perfect to try for a walk. Sunny and cold, snappy at 20F. Yesterday's wind was gone and there was still a dusting of snow. Heaven.
I needed to be able to go a mile and a half for the destination I had in mind.
I took a deep breathe and slowly exhaled. It was a coming home, of sorts. The woods was dressed for the occasion.

The stone in the top photo is smiling 🙂
and even the large boulder was smiling . . perhaps at the dusting of snow still on its back, or maybe at the sun and the pretty frozen leaves, and of course, you being able to walk!
I am so pleased that you got your outing! Congratulations!
13 weeks is a long time to not take in the pleasures of the wood. Glad to hear that foot is finally behaving itself.
Thanks for taking us along for the visit!
Hooray! I hope you aren’t sore today.
How great did that feel! Hope your foot is feeling OK today.
I can hear the crunch. I can feel the crisp. I’m so glad your foot is finally cooperating.
That is a great rock! (I’m a big fan of rocks. My husband thinks I’m nuts…)
Glad you enjoyed your walk.
Lovely! And I’m so pleased your foot is well on the mend.
That rock is pretty neat. I bet you really missed your walks; I know that I would.
Hooray! I can just hear that ice cracking underfoot!
Mmmmm, lovely. I am drawn to the power and mystery of rocks like that.
Yay!! It’s one thing to be cooped up by the weather. Another thing entirely to be cooped up by your body. Here’s to complete healing and a healthy ’09!
I’m so glad you’re on the mend and could finally go for a walk.
That is excellent news.
I know why the boulder smiles – glad to see you, too. 😉
Sounds like a nice walk.
Are the bottom two pictures photographs? They look like paintings. They’re sooo amazing and beautiful!
