Pause to Enjoy Life...

Sometimes you just have to stop and take time for yourself or selves.

Today was one of those days. Claude and I put all to-do's aside and determined to go somewhere we have never been before. We had two places in mind and chose the Arboretum in Lexington as the place for our date. It is amazing we have lived here for 7 1/2 years and have not been there yet. But today was a great day to do that for the first time.

The Arboretum has a 2 mile walking path in it with an additional quarter mile walk through the woods. We walked the 2 mile path but didn't do the woods.

We walked half the 2 miles and then paused to determined what to do next. I asked Claude what he thought. His comment, "I haven't lost any weight yet." So we headed for the second half of that 2 mile walk.

It was a cloudy day and that made for a cooler walk. Here are a few pictures.  Enjoy!
We finished our date with dinner at Schlotzky's and forced ourselves to have a Cinnabon for dessert. It was a lovely date with my Big Guy Clauda.

Yep, we sometimes just need to stop and enjoy life a bit.

  1. Hello, just found your blog after searching for "white flowering bushes" and the picture included in this post came up. So, first, what is the bush 4th in your line of pictures and, second, living in Colorado and having just bought a house outside Louisville, KY I am trying to learn the flora in the area - you appear to be a nature lover so maybe I can learn something! I will also email you....Thanks! (Like your blog too....)
