The pictures on the side, the pussy willows, are from tree that had fallen and it still has enough inside for one last spring showing. I had to take pictures of it's strength.
I know, the title is more poetic than this post will be. Haha! Just another walk about town and some pictures.

The rain stopped today, I went out and took a couple pictures. I should have taken a walk, but am feeling so tired today.

he asked for black, and I offered him white

I would walk with their tiny hand in mine, crossing streets cautiously together, excitedly choosing candy to bring home. Then I would carry their tiny body home on my back, they would be too tired to walk all the way home. I did this with such joy.
