RE: Take the Road that Speaks to You

You can still say you have four seasons! For as long as I can remember I've lived in four seasons and dreamed of two. Now, when I haven't had winter yet, I realize that if I missed it I'd be miserable. Happy/unhappy!
How easily these feelings change.
Your neighborhood and surroundings are a constant surprise to me! So much nature around and I was imagining that Washington DC is full of secret service agents, not trees, rivers, ponds, and all!

Sort:  

It's true! I didn't appreciate it at the time, but, with less winter nowadays than I had in my youth, I like the seasons more and more.

Yes, I think the feelings change! My neighborhood is on the fringes of a Park, so it has forest and woods and big green areas. The Washington, DC area is not the huge city that Bucharest is. Even right in the District, there is a bit of wilderness in places like Rock Creek Park. which is about maybe three square miles, the park has over 32 miles of hiking trails, horseback riding, and is home to deer, coyotes, raccoons, and foxes. Right in the middle of DC. :)

I think you would be pleasantly surprised!

Oh, but that's wonderful! I'm happy for you, especially since you appreciate it too. Because, surprisingly, there are people who don't pay attention to the beauty next to them.

I think if I lived there I wouldn't need anything else but the sea. But I'm not putting my hand in the fire that it would. We, humans, have that flaw too. We want most what is as far away or as hard to reach, ignoring what we have so close.

Much walking and pleasure in your surroundings, Denise! I think spring is even more beautiful.
