A Walk at the Lake

It was pretty chilly yesterday morning...about 36 degrees...and only rose to around 60 degrees by the time Mother and I went for a walk at the college lake. The sun felt good, but we wore long-sleeved shirts and jackets to block the brisk, cool wind. Others, though, wore only shorts and t-shirts. It seemed to us they were pushing the season, but they seemed comfortable enough.

Not many people were at the lake on this Tuesday afternoon. A young mother sat on a blanket, with one eye on a book she was reading, and the other on her pre-school boy, who was feeding bread to the ducks. A man and his 12 or 13-year-old son fished from the bank. A young couple, students, I figure, chatted amiably while strolling the path. And two folks, a man and woman, walked briskly for exercise.

Today is warmer...predicted to get to around 80 degrees...so we should have a much more pleasant walk this afternoon.
