Happy Hiking

So today we decided to get out for a while to a new park in our area and go for a walk. What a treat. Yes, it was cold, 32 degrees. Yes, it was icy and sometimes we found ourselves walking off the path in the snow rather than on the path which was icy, but wow, was it beautiful. There are wooden walkways, as in this picture, along with nature trails that go through the woods, through an old peach orchard, and along the creek. We got to see deer prints, raccoon prints, lots of birds, etc. I actually felt like a kid again exploring the woods. What fun. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so I can do more hiking or just pick up a sandwich and go have lunch there. I keep surprising myself at the activities I'm starting to enjoy now that the weight is coming off. Who knows what's next, huh?
