What a lovely afternoon! Sunny and 71F with a very gentle breeze :)

Lots of people agree and are out in the woods today.

I am continuing the theme of the woods from my last book about the AT and am listening now to "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau.

Early Tuesday

I've switched my hours at work from 7:30 - 3:30 to 9 - 5, this is going to be a huge advantage as we go into the fall and winter as I'll be able to walk Holly in the mornings when it's light rather than in the dark after work :)

I mentioned the AT to Jackie, and she actually suggested that I take a week and try doing a section :) I think it's a bit late in the year to do it this fall, but I very well might think about doing it in the spring!
