I have a very nice life...

I have a very nice life.  This morning I was able to take an hour and set out with the dog along our favourite walk.  It's a long, gradual climb up a gently sloping country road that is surrounded by some of the prettiest scenery around.  Most of it is farm land and this time of the year, when we've had some rain and the heat is coming on, you can almost see the fields growing and changing hues as you walk along beside them.  Most of the time, on this walk, we won't see or even hear a vehicle.  We generally walk right down the middle of the road.  And that's always been the best way to walk down a country road in my book.  This morning we had the whole package, glorious blue sky and sunshine, just enough heat to get a sheen under the hat brim, the smell of freshly mown hay on the wind and birdsong everywhere.  At the top of the hill, about twenty minutes walk, we rewarded ourselves with a pleasant rest underneath some ancient maples.  Pretty nice.
The view from up there is fairly breathtaking as well.  A good way to start your day. I have a very nice life.
