After the short days of winter, the cold weather and the occasional rain, I am back to walking and hiking. Tonight I took my first trip up Mt. Rubidoux to the windy place part way up the down road. Elizabeth loved the walk. As I started down the sidewalk, she started making this growling sound. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I have heard my boys make car and truck noises when they were youngsters, but not my daughter, Elizabeth’s mother. Time will only tell if she was just growling for the fun of it, or it was truly sound effects for the moving stroller.
As for the trip up Mt. Rubidoux, she was sitting up and looking at things actively. She would track the people and the dogs as they walked past. There were a few comments on how cute she was. One of my favorites was a couple of women walking the other direction and one commented, “Oh, they are so cute when they are that age before they learn to talk back.” I had to laugh.
As I was coming to the three mile point, Elizabeth dozed off. Overall, the walk was four miles in just over an hour. I will need to see how sore I am as I doubled my walk on Monday. As for Elizabeth, I took her picture at the windy place. The sun had set some 20 minutes before, so next time we are going to try to get there for the sunset.
