One of the things I love about my walks through the neighborhood is the fantastic variety of houses nestled together on every block.We have everything from 1950’s ramblers to 1920’s bungalows, stucco and brick houses, homes with brand new siding, fancy doors and funky rainbow colored doors, porches, patios, and front stoops, fences and trellises and stone retaining walls. The profusion of styles and colors and personalities never fails to delight me. ❤

More walking! After getting out of the hospital, I lowered my steps goal to 3,000/day – and some days I didn’t even reach that goal. This week, since my amazing session with Lynn, I’ve had increased energy and now my step goal is 6,000/day — which I’ve met every day since then (including one 12,000+ and one 9,000+ day!). It’s nice to feel like I can do things again. 😀
