Weekend wanderings...

I took Ella for our weekend walk. I felt a little like Dorthy in the 'Wizard of Oz', when I realized the woods were filled with lions and lions and more lions. Our resident mountain lion wasn't just passing through. From the look of the numerous tracks in the area, it is homesteading for a while.

Despite looking behind me every few seconds, the views around me were amazing. The clouds, the sun, and the beautiful hills made for a wonderful wander.

I am ready for the holiday's and that was another thing that made a wonderful winter walk welcome. Ella was happy to be out and oblivious to our peril. Ok peril is probably pushing it. Still, I kept one eye to the beauty and the other on what was going on behind me.

Any dangers to consider when you walk? What do you get to see on your walks? I probably won't post again before Christmas, so "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night."

Those lions hide well, usually more cautious than you.Have a lovely holiday.

Wow, you do live in the wilderness. No mountain lions here.
Merry Christmas to you, too.

I'm glad you had your dog with you when walking. Do you think she would have warned you of danger? Our snow is now gone again due to rain, so no warning pawprints would be seen here! -Jenn

I'm way behind on my blog visits. Yikes, I would have been pretty nervous! Nothing like that to worry about here...just "road apples" from all the Amish buggies to watch out for! :) Hope your Christmas was nice!

Sit on my porch and let's chat. Due to the amount of spam I am closing my comments to Anonymous users. Sorry.

A young girl was walking along a beach which thousands of starfish had washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement. She was doing this for some time when a man approached and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” The girl was crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled back into the ocean. She looked up at the man and replied, "I made a diffence to that one." Soon the man and the other people on the beach helped her. All of the starfish were saved.
