Focusing on Life - 16 of 52

This week, Sally prompted us to take a walk and look at our surroundings.

The kiddo and I love to take walks around the arboretum or hike over a trail or two.  Unfortunately, this week has been break-out-the-winter-coats cold and rainy.  We haven't had much of a chance to enjoy the outdoors.

Luckily, today was perfect for a walk.


A few weeks ago, I learned that Genea, of Genea Beads, lived close to me.  We had arranged to meet for lunch today and lived  for lunch and she was kind enough to let the kiddo and me drag her to the arboretum.

(Genea also brought some of her beads to show me.  As awesome as her beads look in her shop, they are even more gorgeous in person!  Definitely take a look at Genea's etsy shop.)



Genea and I were able to visit a bit while the kiddo ran ahead.

I did get a few pictures of new blooms.



We had a great afternoon and a nice little walk around the arboretum.

Please visit Sally's blog to see what the other participants saw on their walks.
