Scenes From My Run

To be totally honest... i walked a bit

but i was pushing an almost 4-year old

in a stroller

and it's a hilly course...

I had to get out of the house for a little

peace and quiet

and a break from listening to my daughters argue

and whine about being bored.

Does anyone else have children that do that?

oy.

Here's some pictures of my 4 mile loop.

It always manages to calm me

and clear my head.

I love where we live... close to Philadelphia

and small towns west of it

and just a half mile down the road

are acres and acres of beautiful land

with horses

and old homes

and split rail fences.

I find inspiration in the smallest of things.

Like the moss that grows on the base of this tree.

endless miles of country roads

old red barns

little cottages

with little cottage gardens

old stone houses tucked back in the woods

green pastures preserved by

conservation trusts

stone walls

an old stone wall with ferns growing

out of it

that surrounds an estate with

several homes on it

an old school house that

is now a private home

an old tree that

dates back to

1704

a pretty yellow house

with a white picket fence

to come home to
