Walking the Lots

Come, walk the Little Canadian Stream with us.

LtoR: Meighan, David, Anita, Emily, Dalton

We walked lots 12, 13, 9 and 10 today.

The “we” was Anita, Dalton, Emily, Meighan and David.

Lurene gave us her permission and Wyona acted as the poxy for the Bates.

David Pilling told me to come by anytime, so that covered off 3/4's of the getting permission part of our journey.

I was surprised by the back lot of David and Shauna Pilling’s home.

They have created a walkway that goes down to the water along the Robertson Creek.  At least partially.

As well the Pillings have a lovely space in the woods along the path of the stream going up toward the highway, the branches of the trees nearby being woven back into themselves and to the trunk of the tree in graceful arches.

Why didn't I take a picture of that!

Welcome to the Bates' Home

... from the vantage point of the new steps ...

Later I walked back home from the beach, trying out Greg’s new stairs that lead over the little creek, past the wooden bench and up to the crest of the hill, all overseen by a monstrous statue.

That doesn’t mean that the statue is big, only that its pose will scare people under age 8, I think.

I didn't make 10,000 steps today, but I came close.
