Solitary Walker

"The man who goes alone can start today;

but he who travels with another 

must wait till 

that other is ready".
Henry David Thoreau  

Given the choice between sleeping in or getting up for an early morning walk, 

the hubby will always choose sleeping in,

which makes me... someone who likes to just "get up and go"
...a "solitary walker."

We spent part of the Labor Day weekend in Bridgewater on the south shore,

and while hubby snoozed, 

I walked the Centennial Trail along

the

LaHave River.

On the way home we stopped at our daughter's to

pick blueberries before they are over for the season. 

With eighteen high bush shrubs, 

she has plenty to fill her freezer and to share

with us, her in-laws 

and some neighbors.

"Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb,
Real sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum
In the cavernous pail of the first one to come!"
Robert Frost

Happy walking,

Riding The Rails...Sort Of

Sunday was a beautiful day to load up the bikes and head for the trails, 

an old abandoned railway that's been transformed

into part of the trans Canada

trail system.

The section we rode was along the Cornwallis River.

"The Cornwallis River Greenway"

The biking was easy going with 

no traffic to contend with

...only the occasional

walker/runner or biker.

We biked through the protected migratory bird sanctuary...but

only saw one bird. I'm guessing it must be a rare dodo bird!

Happy walking,
Marisa
