2 Miles: New Home Again
Today we took an afternoon stroll over to our new house. We have started packing and are counting the days until move day. We brought pictures, mirrors, and breakables over to the place and took a look at how the renovations are coming along.
We then took a nice walk around the neighborhood. Although I often state that all houses in Florida look the same, the reality, is than when you walk you notice all the differences. It never cease to amazed me what people consider attractive and choose to display in their yards. I also find it amusing that parents allow their children to play without providing any kind of supervision. During our walk we saw this four young, not yet teens, playing with a golf cart. They drove it up the curb, drove it the wrong direction down the one way street, and were jumping and bouncing on the thing as if it was a trampoline.
We also noticed the major differences between our new neighborhood and our current one. TPC has the same type of foliage as Saw Mill Lakes, but somehow they have managed to provide an environment which brings the individual closer to nature.
Lastly, as we approach our house, we saw and Owl. We saw one at the zoo last week, but, it is so much different to see out in the wild. In captivity, the bird seemed calm, this one was a top of a roof, and seemed to be frightened by four smaller birds that were chirping quite loudly, its head turn almost 360 degrees during the few seconds we observed it, it then took off, but was followed by the four bullies, I can only hope that it was able to get away.
The bottom line is that nature is magnificent. By doing this two miles, I have somehow become closer to my surroundings and have actually began to enjoy the outdoors. Who knows, maybe this experience will help me get over my fear of frogs.Labels: 2-mile, biggest loser, Jacksonville
