Its Sunday afternoon, the temperature is 31 degrees, the sun is out and its time for a walk.
Today I am going to stroll through Saint Joe's campus. This is always a very relaxing walk, unless the weather does not cooperate. But today it is clear and not really too cold as I am dressed from head to toe in down.
The first thing I come upon is an old friend who was an old oak tree not so long ago but is now a pile of huge logs waiting for I don't know what on the Barnes property on Lapsley Lane.
Back on Latches Lane the elaborate gate of the Barnes says, "Nothing doing here". But that old lovely building is still there waiting for some meaningful use.
....and then I'm home again, thoroughly refreshed and soothed by my very familiar old neighborhood. I lived a lot of places before I moved to Latches Lane but I am very grateful to have been here for 43 years.

On to St. Joe's.
This building which was once a stable now has 'Honors Program' over its door. It makes me want to take an honors program in something or other just to go inside and be cosseted in quiet contemplation of greater truths. As I wonder off I am lost in wondering what subject to choose.
The quiet order of these spaces creates a very receptive mood and everything feels beautiful.
The very blue sky makes the orange smoke stack sing a warm tune.
The stately old buildings nestle into the giant old trees as if they had grown there.

Nancy I have been journeying with you these last few weeks. Our weather patterns are similar I think. Like you I do take short walks on my own through the neighbourhood. My brain gets to work on its own solving arty - and other - problems and my eyes are often delighted by the surrounding buildings and memories they evoke. Also like you I am longing for spring. And yes, foxes are amazing creatures..
