Last week when Christian was sick the weather turned absolutely gorgeous. He was still in his "cough till you hurl" stage but I thought some fresh air would do us good. Boy did it!
We loaded up the stroller with the basic essentials {fishy crackers and cheerios} and let Cleo hitch a ride in the basket underneath. She was such a good girl and never once tried to jump out.
Since then I have been trying to make it a point to go for a walk every {nice} day with Christian. I like to alternate the times of day that we walk and the location too. There are such differences between morning, afternoon, and evening walks.
In the morning, you have the sound of birds chirping and still need a sweater. The sun is gently kissing the flowers and the dew is still shimmering {I love things that shimmer} on the grass. There is a certain 'peacefulness' in the morning walk. It is my personal favorite time.
The afternoon walk presents the full sun on your face, it's warmth much appreciated on your skin {no sweater required}. It is the busy time of day. People are out and about their business. You send out smiles and friendly "hello's" as you pass by.
The evening walk presents beautiful lighting. There is usually the sounds of children playing in the streets. Even so, the quietness of the world is starting to return. The sun starts to turn in for the night, all the while casting a luminous glow upon the world.
We have come to rather enjoy our walks. They allow time to reflect on things and take in the beauty that surrounds us. There is so much beauty in the world. You just have to get out in it, you know?
