Exercise

You would think that carrying feed sacks and gardening and whatnot would be exercise enough but apparently not because I have gained another 4 lbs. Can't let that happen so now that hunting season is over we have to start walking again. We do, however, have a very pleasant place to walk. Across the dirt road there is a path to the lake from our house.

 

Romeo really, really enjoys going to the lake.

 

You can't see it but about half way down the path in the  picture is a split in the path. We used to take the right path because it was longer but since the last few storms we now have to take the straight path because of this:

There are a lot of downed trees these last few years. Some are rather pretty. 

 Are we there yet? Not quite but you can see the lake from here. 

This was on one of the rotten logs.

Finally at the lake. Our part of the lake is actually where a creek used to run into the lake before they dammed it and flooded it. When the lake is really far down it turns back into a creek . I have only seen that happen once. There are ducks where the ripples are but I couldn't get a close enough shot of them.

As you can see, the lake is actually way down now. It should be all water to where the lighter colored brush is. 

We walked around to the point (in the picture before last) and I took a picture of the lake around the point. 

We then walked back. The walk back is a lot tougher since it is all up hill but gives you a better work out too.
