Mother and I just got back from our walk around the college lake. It's not quite as pleasant a day as yesterday, since it's overcast and a bit cooler, but it was nice enough for a walk.
Others were already on the walking path when we arrived...a young man jogging, while his wife or girlfriend walked briskly, and a mother walking fast and pushing a baby in a pink stroller. Just as we were leaving, another mother with a baby in a stroller, accompanied by an older woman, asked if it'd be okay to feed the ducks, and I said it'd be fine.
Today, friend carp was lazily floating close to the bank again, and a school of fish, maybe smaller carp, bobbed for flotsam on the water's surface. A male duck charged another duck, with both of them tripping over their pigeon-toed web feet and falling beak first down a grassy incline.
We didn't see a king snake today, but we did notice a healthy crop of poison ivy growing alongside the path and up the trees in the area where we saw a snake yesterday. Mother is super allergic to poison ivy, so I insisted that she keep to the side of the path closest to the lake.
Mother is walking twice around the lake now, the equivalent of a half mile, but maybe soon she'll be ready to add another round to her walk.
