Unnatural things on our nature walks



First of all, it feels unnatural to spell unnatural with two n's. Anyway, in an effort to battle the bulge and strive for a healthy lifestyle we decided to go green and walk Kylie to school. For myself, it seems the minute I make one of these commitments my mind spends the rest of the time trying to justify not following through! Every morning becomes a tug of war with my good intentions and my warm bed begging me not to leave. This will be the second week of walking, and I love it once I am up. Its brisk and a good long walk, about 3.5 miles roundtrip. If I don't make my bed before I leave it often talks me into one last catnap when I return. LOL We are bringing Jennifer's new dog along with us also. Since Randy has been off work he is walking with us and its been a nice time to talk and visit with Kylie(our granddaughter). Last week I noticed lots of discarded shiny metal objects along the way, so we started collecting, one each day. This is our weekly collection of unnatural objects from our nature walks.

I did 5k this morning and felt good to get out and do a long walk. I hope to get out at least 3 times next week! I like your 'collection' It speaks of our neighborhood I think!

Glad you can enjoy walking outdoors. The snow and cold are interfering with that here. I like the collection of finds. The dog looks like our dog, Trixie, from when I was a little kid. Enjoy the walks.
