We’re climbing out of what has been an unusually wet spring so far. Three days of rain ended late yesterday, with cloudy/ showery weather the week before.

Which means I’m glad to see cloud breaks this morning because they promise a long, outdoor walk this afternoon, instead of sodden strolls or indoor exercise. Come to think of it, I dreamed of hiking last night, proof positive of how much I’ve missed it.

As for the route, though, this is a day to stay on paved paths rather than dirt and gravel. It’s good we have plenty of both around here.
