Since Linda's work days have been longer and longer, it has been hard to get our 3 walks in. Instead, she has been combining them into one or two longer walks. Today, we did 45 minutes and I did not have to get carried once. She was so tired from all her classes, I had to almost pull her up the hill when we got close to our house. We stopped along the way to talk to a nice man about his beautiful yard. He invited us into his backyard and we we were stunned! Besides an amazing built in pool and multi-level decking, the yard was on the top of a high slope that went down into the most gorgeous wooded view we've ever seen. Linda could not believe that we have walked by the front of that house for years and years never knowing what a beautiful oasis was behind the fence. We are thankful that we have a warm house and decent yard, but it sure would be nice to wake up to that view every morning. Next time we see him outside we are going to see if he'll let us take a photo to post. Linda googled "wooded view" and could not find a photo that even compared to the splendor of it. Instead, here are some forest animals and a wanna-be forest animal.
