When my stepmom was pregnant with my little brother and after she had him, she would walk and walk and walk around the neighborhood for what seemed like hours. I never understood it because even though the neighborhood can be pretty, it would get quite boring. Now that it's getting colder and it's inconvenient and difficult for me to go hike in the woods, I've taken to walking my neighborhood. And it's lovely! I think I will enjoy exploring the surrounding neighborhoods and the quietness of it now that winter is here. Tonight the roads were deserted, the pond was starting to freeze over, and I was just excited to be outside with a kicking baby in my belly and a dog that was so happy to smell everything.
Post idea from one of my favorite and most inspiring blogs, Assortment. My post is just a little wordier. ;)
I totally love walking through my neighborhood. And even if I go down the same street, I feel like I see something new depending on the route I took to get there. It's kind of nice to see what is actually happening, even the good things. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, i'm definitely noticing different things now! There are some streets I've literally walked down hundreds of times in my life and am just realizing a certain house. It's crazy!
DeleteI love this. =]
ReplyDeleteI am so into walks here lately and I am always picturing myself doing the same walk with another baby in-tow. Pretty exciting stuff.
It'll be so exciting to have two babes to push in a stroller, or have the toddler be big enough where he can ride along on a little tricycle!
