    In Oregon City today, taking a walk around the track while Jade cheers.  Boy am I glad I brought my umbrella.

    Lunchtime walk today.  Luckily the rain decided to hold off the half hour I was outside.

    Walking in the rain this morning was rather refreshing.  I do enjoy the smell and the little streams along my path were making some relaxing noises as they flowed on their merry way.

      I enjoy the rainy walks until my shoes get soggy because I forgot they are not water resistant 😐

    Well, the rain is back for a bit I guess.  It was a little refreshing, but I would much rather stay a bit dryer.

    Good walk this morning.  A little brisk and foggy, but still nice.

      Agreed. Yesterday and today's morning bike rides were a bit damp and foggy but still pretty nice overall.

    It was such a great day for a walk.  I took the little one to the park and had a fun time.
