A mid-winter picnic
Take my hand and come with us. Come high up on the mountain, away from the winter ocean fog, above the clouds, into the sun. Come hike the sky line Baden Powell trail for a while. Fall in love with the dogs and mourn as their owners tug them away. Explore the winter weeds and the new spring greening. Don’t worry, I’ve packed some hot tea and some nourishing soup.
Listen to the birds.

Nice! BTW, I had a relative (long since dead now) who had been named Baden Powell by his parents in honour of Sir BP. Never met anyone else with that name though, lol!
Veronica
You’re kidding! Actually, that’s kind of cool. π What was BP’s first name again…Robert (just looked it up). π

Beautiful post! I felt like I took a walk with you – thanks! Karen
Veronica
Aw, I’m so glad. π

Oh my! that scenery is awesome! love the x in the sky!
Veronica
Honestly, I couldn’t believe it when I saw that perfect X. π We don’t often get high contrails because the international airport is a few miles away and this Pacific coast line is the end of the road…so to speak…so when I do see them, I’m so excited. π
Marian Bonelli
Thank you! I enjoyed the walk, I breathed deeply and relaxed along the way! Mxx
ps Looking forward to ‘Toast’ blog tomorrow, got mine pending posting! Lol
pps Check out Oxford local news, some very bad fires in the council offices and nearby x
Veronica
I’m so glad my friend, and am also so looking forward to our toast! So very much. π
Checking out poor Oxford now. π
Veronica
Holy smokes! There are some angry, evil people in this world. That bunch of arson attacks is much further south then we are, but it’s so awful, isn’t it?
Marian Bonelli
A 47yr old man arrested, but will we find out why he has done this terrible thing, thankfully no-one hurt mx
Melodye Shore
So inviting! Keep the tea & soup hot–I’ll be there as soon as I can.
Veronica
That would be great Melodye. You’d get some seasons and I’d get your sweet company. π
