my new walk.

I got to walk in my new neighborhood for the first time yesterday.  It's a nice walk, however, we are in a subdivision, and that makes me miss Hooper.  One of the things that I new I would miss about Hooper was the country roads, farm land that would reach for 1/2 the road at least.  I loved the quiet walks and the space between neighbors.

I do love my little neighborhood it's just different from the one I had in Hooper.  It was fun to notice how many creatures live here and how many different kinds of foliage grow.  The sound of bugs all day long and all night is wonderful.  I love the cicadas and I'm really looking forward to fireflies. (We've seen a few...).

I'm hoping to get myself back into a consistent routine of walking and working out.  Today it's been raining like crazy.  I love it.  It pours here...for a long time...and then it drizzles for a while and then it pours down again.  It reminds me of when I used to live in Oklahoma and we'd have summer rainstorms.  I loved them because it was so warm!  You play out in the ditches and gutters and the rain would just gush everywhere.  You could play out in it in your bare feet and shorts and not get cold (not the case in Utah...when it rains there it also gets cold).  I love it (except for getting kicked off the internet every 5 minutes from the storm...) and the girls got soaking wet in the 2 minutes they were outside before school started this morning.  

So...I'll be running up and down my stairs for exercise today!
