Rediscovering the Day


Periodically, I get reminders from my online photos, allowing me the opportunity to “rediscover this day” from a previous year. The photo above is one example of this. It was taken exactly a year ago today, on a walk that Sam and I went on, through the woods at the edge of town.

We haven’t walked those woods at all this year. When it hasn’t been rainy, it’s been too humid. Even under the best of conditions, the place can be pretty buggy. But with the air being as humid as it's been, I expect the preponderance of mosquitoes would carry us away. 

And now, with the declining daylight hours, the thought of going for an evening walk along a buggy, unlit wooded path is even less appealing. Because of this, it's looking like going for a walk in these woods is going to be one more thing that's moved to our “maybe next year” column.

The other thing I want to mention about this photo - which is completely unrelated to the walk in the woods - is that the photo was taken on Dad's birthday. 

I can't remember whether I was thinking about this when I took the photo, but I've been thinking about it today.
